The Energy Ministry aims to generate 720 billion baht in investment for energy development projects, notably solar power and carbon capture storage, putting Thailand on a fast track towards its net-zero goal, achieving it 15 years sooner than the target date.

The projects are meant to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and stimulate the economy under the ministry's “Quick Big Win” energy campaign, aligning with the policy of the Anutin Charnvirakul government that wants to see Thailand strike a balance between greenhouse gas emissions and absorption by 2050.

Former prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told the UN Climate Change Conference four years ago that Thailand's net-zero target would be attained by 2065.

“The combined projects are expected to create 16,000 jobs and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10 million tonnes a year,” said Energy Minister Auttapol Rerkpiboon.
