Thailand is becoming a leader in green technology in Southeast Asia. The country is using CCS technology to help the environment while growing the economy. Our Thai company is helping make this change happen, both in Thailand and around the world.

Thailand’s plan for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is more than just helping the environment. It’s a complete plan for building green industries. By using this new technology, Thailand is showing that countries can grow their economy and protect the environment at the same time.

How CCS Works

The CCS process has three simple steps:

  1. Capture carbon dioxide from factories
  2. Move the captured CO₂ to storage sites
  3. Store it safely deep underground in rock formations

This lets important industries keep running while cutting down on pollution. Big groups like the UN’s climate panel and the International Energy Agency say CCS is very important for fighting climate change.

Thailand’s CCS Project

The Eastern Thailand CCS Hub is being built in Rayong and Chonburi provinces. This big project is led by PTT Group. They are studying how well it will work technically, environmentally, socially, and economically. Through PTT Reforestation and other green projects, Thailand is building a better future for the next generation.

Benefits for Thai Businesses

CCS brings many good things for Thai companies:

  • Save over 600 million baht each year by avoiding carbon taxes from other countries
  • Create chances to invest in clean energy like green hydrogen
  • Make more than 10,000 new jobs in the CCS industry

These changes make Thailand stronger in global markets and show how the country finds smart solutions to worldwide challenges.

Helping Communities

We don’t just focus on technology. Through Smiling Community programs, we make sure both city and rural people benefit from the move to clean energy. This complete approach shows Thailand’s balanced way of growing the economy while helping all people.

Looking Forward

As Thailand works toward Net Zero goals, CCS technology shows the country’s smart planning for the future. It’s more than just an environmental solution – it’s a chance to make Thailand known as a forward-thinking place to do business in Southeast Asia and beyond.

The road to a green future has challenges, but with new technology, working together, and strong commitment, Thailand is proving that real change can happen.
