Leaders and key stakeholders from the Thai government and industry convened to drive forward the final phase of the Decarbonizing Thailand’s Cement and Concrete Sectors initiative, part of a strategic partnership between Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and Thailand, implemented by UNIDO.
Chaired by Mr. Teeratas Israngkul Na Ayudhya, the Deputy Director General of the Department of Industrial Works, participants worked together to set the priorities that will accelerate progress in the next phase:
- Finalize policy framework recommendations ahead of the National Policy Dialogue
- Launch the final round of start-ups in the Innovation Acceleration Programme
- Demonstrate co-processing of RDF from landfill and sludge, and develop an action plan to boost circularity and waste treatment capacity
- Conceptual design of a mobile carbon capture testing unit for use by Thai cement stakeholders
Thanks to the dedication of Thai partners and stakeholders, momentum is building towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for the sector – while simultaneously laying the groundwork for increased knowledge sharing across Southeast Asia, particularly with the Philippines and Malaysia
