“ It is evident that by working together , uniting expertise from both business and policymaking , we can make meaningful strides in enabling the energy transition . Thailand is committed to playing its part , and the events of the last two days have given us a strong signal for achieving the net zero targets of the country , as well as the wider region .”

Intaranongpai said the energy transition was both a challenge and an opportunity at PTT .

“ PTT has adjusted our business strategy and expanded to future energy businesses , including renewable energy , electric vehicle , energy storage , hydrogen , and actively engaging in LNG business .

“ PTT believes that this event brings together leading energy companies to discuss and find effective solutions to shape the direction and find a pathway to achieve net zero goal .”

Vichaipairojwong said to tackle the global climate issue , the community had to commit and join hands to overcome this challenge of the world together .

“ At PTTEP , we have set the target of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 . This can be achieved by speeding the emission reduction effort toward the low-carbon world .

“ Having platforms to discuss and exchange new perspectives for sustainable energy solutions with leaders and experts in the energy industry will lead us to achieve net zero GHG emissions jointly .”

Cherngchawano added that the energy industry was rapidly changing , and the public and private sectors must collaborate to keep pace . He pointed out that FEA had shown how this collaboration was possible through knowledge exchange , partnerships and more .

“ By working together , we can equip ourselves with the tools and information required to achieve our environmental targets .”
