Collaborating for a Sustainable Future! Ajinomoto Partners with NSTDA to Drive CCUS Innovation and Support Thailand’s Carbon Neutrality Goal.

Recently, Ajinomoto Co., (Thailand) Ltd., represented by Mr. Smith Phetdi, Sustainability Promotion Department Manager, participated in the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish the Thailand CCUS Alliance (TCCA). This initiative, in collaboration with the National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), the Department of Climate Change and Environment under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and other key partners, aims to advance Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies in Thailand.

 

The signing ceremony took place at Novotel Future Park Rangsit in Pathum Thani. Its primary objective is to promote the development and application of CCUS technology, a critical tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing Thailand’s global competitiveness. This initiative aligns with the country’s long-term commitment to achieving sustainable carbon neutrality.  
 

The establishment of TCCA serves as a key mechanism for driving CCUS development in Thailand. The initiative spans three years (2024–2026), with the first year focused on officially forming the alliance, developing legal frameworks, and fostering investment infrastructure. By the third year, a demonstration project will be launched to test and expand CCUS technology capabilities within the country. Thailand aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with its NDC 3.0 plan by 2030, with CCUS playing a crucial role in achieving this goal. Urgent action and collaboration across all sectors will be essential for effectively reducing CO2 emissions and addressing climate change impacts, aligning with the country’s Net Zero target.
