1^st December 2009

………………………………………

In commemoration of His Majesty the King's 82^nd Birthday on December 5, 2009, Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) (TGO) launches its own Crown Standard for Thai CDM Projects. According to the national policy of the Royal Thai Government, CDM is applied as a tool not only to reduce GHG but also to protect and clean up the environment as well as contribute to society. The process of issuing the Letter of Approval (LoA) for CDM projects in Thailand has received much attention due to its sustainable development requirements. The TGO Board has approved the criteria to distinguish high quality CDM projects from others by awarding the new "Crown Standard".
