“EGAT-Shell” launches clean energy technology aiming for “Net Zero”, supporting the global policy to reduce carbon emissions It points out that Thailand still needs to rely on electricity generation from fossil fuels to maintain energy security.
Bunyanit Wongrakmit, Governor of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand)EGAT) reveals that EGAT has worked with the company shellof Thailand Co., Ltd. exchange and study technologyclean energy such as capture technology utilization and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and alternative fuel technologies for power generation.

Increase the proportion of electricity generation from renewable energy develop alternative technologies And technology to support the production of renewable energy Sink Co-creation increases carbon absorption and storage Through the Million Rai Reforestation Project
Including education on CCUS technology and Support Measures Mechanism, promoting participation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the public sector through the Energy Saving Label No. 5 project, the Green Classroom project. and promoting the use of electric vehicles
However, Thailand still needs to rely on fossil fuel power generation to maintain energy security. and meet domestic electricity demand The results of this cooperation will be applied to power plants and other EGAT projects in the future for the benefit of the country’s development. And be a part of solving environmental problems at the national and global level.
Mr. Panan Prachuabmoh, Chairman of the Board of the Shell Company of Thailand Limited, said that Shell is currently operating under the strategy of Powering Progress by initiating projects around the world such as reducing carbon emissions in Shell’s businesses, trading Carbon Credit and Renewable Energy Study and research hydrogen ammonia fuel and CCUS technology
which Shell has already implemented projects And more than 10 under development around the world from Shell and EGAT’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their business. believe that the potential of Thailand talented Thai personnel
Together with the knowledge and expertise of EGAT and Shell will help enhance the quality of life of Thai people. Help push Thailand towards the country’s target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065.
