Thailand is in the transition toward the carbon neutrality goals aligned with the Conference of Parties (COP 26) commitment to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, according to an expert.
In the country’s new national power development plan, Thailand has set a target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2065 as part of the country’s long-term ambitions for climate action.
The world is currently undergoing major changes. Rising sustainability concerns, pro-active government policies, emerging renewable energy targets, and improving technologies, amongst others, are transforming the energy and transportation sectors.
Dr. Worawut Waruttamapornsu, country managing director, Hitachi Energy (Thailand) Ltd., said that there are three trends that will accelerate the energy transition in Thailand.
First, the growing demand for renewables.
