SCG Pioneers Sustainable Innovations in Thailand
BANGKOK, THAILAND – On June 20, 2024, SCG, a leading conglomerate in ASEAN, announced its strategic initiatives to combat severe environmental issues through innovative low-carbon solutions.
SCG Chemicals (SCGC), under their “SCGC GREEN POLYMER” initiative, aims to address Thailand’s annual 2 million tons of plastic waste. The initiative focuses on four aspects: Reduce, Recyclable, Recycle, and Renewable. The goal is to produce 1 million tons of green polymer by 2030.
SCG Cleanergy has introduced the “Smart Grid” system to manage electricity usage for high consumption facilities in Thailand. The system, coupled with a Power & Carbon Trading Platform, has proven to reduce energy costs by 6% and CO2 emissions by 4,000 tons annually. SCG is also working with Rondo Energy to deploy “Heat Battery” technology in the region.
In cement production, SCG has launched “Low Carbon Cement,” reducing CO2 emissions by 15-20%, with plans for further reductions with future iterations. The company is also promoting the “CPAC Low Carbon Concrete.”
These efforts are part of SCG’s commitment to sustainable development and align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Simultaneously, Drax and Stockholm Exergi, in collaboration with DNV, have developed a validated methodology for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). This framework ensures high-integrity carbon dioxide removals, supporting the voluntary carbon market and meeting ISO14064:2 standards. The methodology fosters the deployment of BECCS technology, crucial for achieving global net-zero targets.
