Science has shown that human activities producing greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, determine the overall extent of global warming. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is key to preventing catastrophic climate change. Consequently, governments around the world have agreed to strive for Net Zero by 2050 as part of the Paris Agreement, signed in 2014.

What is Net Zero?

Net Zero, or "Zero Net Emissions," is an environmental goal aimed at reducing human-caused greenhouse gas emissions (such as CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) to a level balanced by the Earth's capacity to absorb or remove them, so that the total net emissions are effectively reduced to zero.

Net Zero is a highly ambitious target, requiring organizations or businesses to cut carbon emissions across their entire supply chain, from suppliers to end consumers.

At the United Nations COP26 conference in 2021, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính pledged that Vietnam aims to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

The Importance of Net Zero for Businesses

After committing to Net Zero globally, the government has called on businesses to participate in achieving the nation’s shared goals. In particular, 1,912 major emitting companies are required to conduct greenhouse gas inventories and develop emission reduction plans in the coming years.

There is also significant pressure from customers to become greener and cleaner. For example, many EU clients place great importance on carbon traceability in products. This means suppliers must conduct carbon accounting and implement solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of their products.

Alongside this pressure, there is a substantial opportunity for businesses to increase revenue and profit, as brand value rises when products enter international markets and access higher-value markets.

Another major benefit of complying with environmental and social regulations is that companies can attract more investors for their business operations.

To support businesses in achieving Net Zero, the first key step is managing energy consumption and emissions effectively. EMS (Energy Management System) software makes energy management in manufacturing facilities more intuitive and easier to handle.

What is an Energy Management System (EMS)?

EMS is a system that helps users monitor energy consumption in real-time and analyze its causes almost instantly. It then helps optimize equipment operation, improve energy efficiency, and analyze the energy usage of individual devices or systems, aiming toward energy savings.

What functions does EMS have?

Monitoring function

• Displays key system parameters (voltage, frequency, power, etc.)

• Monitors the real-time values of these energy parameters.

• Displays the historical changes of energy parameters.

• Monitors and Extracts Energy System Alerts.

Management function

• Generates and sends periodic energy reports daily, weekly, monthly, or for custom time periods.

• Exports historical energy parameter charts (Excel, CSV, etc.).

Problems with Manual Energy Management

• Lack of detailed visibility of system energy usage;

• Unreliable, inconsistent, and untimely data when recorded manually (observed and logged by staff);

• Cannot calculate energy consumption efficiency per unit of product;

• Cannot determine the energy conversion efficiency of auxiliary equipment (air compressors, boilers, chillers, etc.);

• Fails to provide timely alerts and corrective measures during emergencies that may have severe impacts;

Benefits of an Energy Management System (EMS)

• Intelligent functions automatically forecast energy demand (for HVAC, lighting, etc.) for the next day based on historical usage records.

• Improves energy efficiency and reduces operating costs by integrating control across multiple systems, such as power supply, heating systems, and energy storage.

Advantages of EMS

• Significantly enhanced monitoring and management capabilities, providing comprehensive and detailed oversight.

• Ensures data accuracy at all times.

• Can be integrated with existing company SCADA systems;

• Minimizes operational costs of the energy system.
