Last updated

Nguyen Van Troi Bridge is a bridge spanning the Han River in the city of Da Nang, Vietnam. The bridge was built by an American company in 1965. [1] [2] Constructed by the American contractor RMK [ RMK-BRJ], the 513 meters bridge was the first bridge designed for vehicles crossing the Han River to transport weapons. [2] [3]

The bridge was reinforced in 1978 and 1996, allowing the bridge be vertically raised for boats to pass below, [4] [5] and remained the only bridge prior to the Han River Bridge coming into operation in 2000. [6]

After being renovated at a cost of $1 million in 2013, the bridge became the only pedestrianised bridge. [7] [6]

Vietnam utilizes four main sources of renewable energy: hydroelectricity, wind power, solar power and biomass. At the end of 2018, hydropower was the largest source of renewable energy, contributing about 40% to the total national electricity capacity. In 2020, wind and solar had a combined share of 10% of the country's electrical generation, already meeting the government's 2030 goal, suggesting future displacement of growth of coal capacity. By the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of solar and wind power had reached over 17 GW. Over 25% of total power capacity is from variable renewable energy sources. The commercial biomass electricity generation is currently slow and limited to valorizing bagasse only, but the stream of forest products, agricultural and municipal waste is increasing. The government is studying a renewable portfolio standard that could promote this energy source.
