The company has developed innovations in electricity generation and investment combining concern environmental sustainability. The implementations correspond to Carbon Neutrality Target in 2050 including GHG emission Net Zero in 2065. According, Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) and Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE), Energy Regulatory Commission have reviewed and improved electricity generation plan by renewable energy sources under PDP 2018 Rev.1 2021 – 2030. Committee on Energy Policy has approved the project, International Renewable Energy Certificate is to respond Thailand GHG reduction policy and implement to Carbon Neutrality Target in 2050. Two biomass powerplants registered as registrants and participants purpose of sale Renewable Energy Certificate. The clients are mostly organizations that concern the climate change issue and require to consume electricity by renewable energy sources to reduce GHG from conventional electricity generation.
In 2024, the company undertook various initiatives and activities to promote innovation, as outlined below:
- The company collaborated with the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC), NSTDA, to develop a project focused on assessing appropriate technology and investment evaluation models. This project aims to provide policy recommendations for the industrial sector to support decision-making regarding investments in bio-energy production technologies combined with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in Thailand.
Additionally, the company has conducted studies and continuously monitors advancements in technologies related to green energy production. This includes gathering information to proactively prepare for future shifts in the energy landscape, such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), Green Hydrogen Technology, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
- The company organized the "Energy Conservation Invention Contest" at the Energy Day event to encourage employees to participate in the creation and development of energy-saving technologies. This initiative reinforces the company's commitment to fostering innovation for sustainability. The event is part of a strategy to promote a culture of innovation within the organization, providing employees the opportunity to showcase their potential in developing solutions that reduce energy consumption and enhance operational efficiency sustainably.
Sugarcane Leaves Briquette
Our company is committed to developing clean energy innovations that simultaneously address environmental challenges and strengthen community economies. We transform agricultural raw materials - specifically "sugarcane leaves" - into high-performance biomass fuel briquettes (Sugarcane Leaves Briquette) for efficient industrial applications.
Sugarcane Leaves Briquette
From Post-Harvest Burning Crisis to Sustainable Energy Solution
Our biomass power plant operates in one of Thailand's largest sugarcane cultivation regions, where farmers traditionally burn sugarcane leaves after harvest each year. This widespread practice generates severe air pollution, particularly PM 2.5 particulate matter, significantly impacting the health of surrounding communities.
To address this environmental challenge, we launched our "Sugarcane Leaves Procurement Program" in 2016, purchasing post-harvest sugarcane leaves directly from local farmers instead of allowing them to burn this valuable resource. These leaves serve as co-fuel for electricity generation, effectively reducing air pollution while creating supplementary income for farmers.
In 2023, we advanced our biomass fuel innovation with the development of "Sugarcane Leaves Briquettes" featuring exceptional characteristics:
- Consistent and reliable heating value
- Enhanced transportation and storage efficiency
- Significantly reduced dust and biomass waste
- Versatile applications across diverse industrial sectors
Energy from the Community, for the Community
- Economic Impact: Generates direct income for local farmers
- Environmental Benefits: Reduces PM 2.5 emissions and eliminates open burning practices
- Energy Advancement: Promotes renewable energy adoption nationwide
We firmly believe that "genuine energy innovation requires active community participation" because sustainable development becomes reality only when all sectors advance together.
We believe that "sustainable energy innovation must begin with community engagement" because sustainable development extends beyond energy alone - it encompasses integrated growth across economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
