Bangkok, Faculty of Engineering, Chula, launches the Chula Learn-Do-Share 2024 project, joining hands with many sectors to drive Thailand towards carbon neutrality through innovation. Ready to support Strengthening the potential of SMEs, increasing skills in greenhouse gas management Let entrepreneurs apply sustainable practices.
Arun Sarathet Foundation and Carbon Institute for Sustainability Under the Arun Sorades Foundation in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering Chulalongkorn University and the Engineering Alumni Association of Chulalongkorn University launched the “Chula Learn-Do-Share 2024 Project” with the goal of increasing the potential of SMEs to move towards a low-carbon economic society and increasing awareness among SME entrepreneurs in the application. Use sustainable practices Including transferring knowledge about greenhouse gas management to students and staff.
Professor Dr. Supoj Techawarasinsakul, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Chulalongkorn University and Vice Chairman of t
he Arun Sorates Foundation said that the Arun Sorates Remembrance Event has been held continuously. It will be a part in disseminating useful knowledge to society. Including the Chula Learn-Do-Share 2024 project launched today, it will play a part in pushing Thailand towards a carbon neutral society. By emphasizing the development of knowledge and products academic research To meet the needs of sustainable development Including strengthening collaboration across sciences, across fields, and serving as a connection point between the private, public and public sectors. as well as developing students and personnel who will become sustainable change leaders in various organizations
Important activities are Announcement of cooperation in driving Thailand towards a carbon neutral society through innovation between the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Chulalongkorn University and the Arun Sarathet Foundation by representatives of EGAT. Consisting of Mr. Warit Rattanachun, Assistant Governor for
Research, Innovation and Business Development Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and Mr. Methawat Phongradaphirom Assistant Governor for Organizational Strategy, Acting Deputy Governor for Strategy Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand Mr. Warit said: Nowadays, the direction of the world is giving more importance to the environment. As a result, renewable energy is increasingly being used as an alternative to clean energy in the industrial and business sectors. To push for the reduction of pollution and greenhouse gases. According to the world direction, new rules for sustainability have been set.
for Thailand Government policies also promote investment in green energy in the energy sector, such as increasing renewable energy production capacity in Thailand. Along with promoting the use of technology to reduce CO2 emissions, renewable energy power generation technology and Clean Energy technology are important tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Including changing the transportation
sector with electric vehicle (EV) technology to help reduce PM 2.5 dust and supporting the efficient use of energy (Energy Efficiency) in both the business, industrial and household sectors by using technology and innovation. Modern energy management Come increase efficiency in energy management. To drive the energy sector to achieve the goal of moving towards a low-carbon economy and society. Support Thailand to move towards clean energy. and carbon neutrality (Carbon Neutrality), adjustment of the energy sector.
EGAT as a state-owned energy enterprise Become a part of pushing Thailand’s goal towards clean energy. EGAT has set a goal to reach EGAT Carbon Neutrality by 2050 under the principle of creating a balance between the costs of electricity production. Environmental impact and stability of the country’s electrical system, with EGAT playing an important role in supporting an increase in the proportion of renewable energy production. Applying new technology and develop energy efficiency Including the de
velopment of various related areas such as promoting the integrated electric vehicle ecosystem (EV Ecosystem), promoting the use of electric vehicles. Development of integrated energy management systems (Smart Energy Solutions) including technologies that promote carbon reduction such as Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), carbon dioxide capture technology. Utilization and storage of carbon and Hydrogen, etc.
Developing a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism that allows operators to claim electricity from renewable energy. and use the report of greenhouse gas emissions reduction in the sustainability report. and report according to various international standards such as RE100, etc. REC is also an important mechanism to support the government’s Utility Green Tariff (UGT) policy, which supports access to green energy. It is also an important tool for the organization to achieve its green goals. EGAT is in the process of developing a platform to manage data to support the calculation of gree
nhouse gas emissions. and collecting data for sustainability reporting. In addition, it can be connected to ESG assessments according to international standards such as the ESBN Questionnaire of the United Nations (UN). Currently, EGAT is developing cooperation with partners. Both the public and private sectors Leading organizations both nationally and internationally to promote an ecosystem that will support the drive of organizations at all levels towards a stable and sustainable low-carbon economic society.
Professor Dr. Pisut Pianmanakul, Director of the Carbon for Sustainability Institute, stated that to drive a low-carbon economy, It requires cooperation in many areas. Whether it is building and strengthening a group of people with environmental sustainability skills (Green talent), research and innovation development. Creating cooperation with various sectors, including supporting SMEs that play an important role in the overall economic system of the country. In order to drive business operations to s
upport the transition to creating a low-carbon economy, An important element is that personnel in the business need to have knowledge and understanding. and develop potential to be ready to accept change which is the origin of the Chula Learn-Do-Share project this time.
