According to the government policy, the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) area will be developed as a “World-Class Economic Zone” to support an investment of Super Cluster industries and other targeted industries to drive Thailand’s economy for the next 20 years. At the same time, Thailand has set policies for industrial development toward environmentally friendly and low-carbon industry in the 20 years National Strategy and National Reform Plans to reduce climate change risk and impact for industries as well as to increase Thai business competitiveness in the ASEAN and global market.

         TGO, therefore, has been implemented the “Integrating Climate Actions into the EEC: Towards Low-Carbon Industry” since Fiscal Year 2018, and has developed 60 prototypes of Low-Carbon factories within the project. In 2020, numerous factories in the EEC area were interested to join the project, but only 30 factories were selected as the Low-Carbon factories plants prototypes and were awarded with plaques of honor in the seminar.

        In addition, TGO developed the GHG reduction policy and action plan to drive Greenhouse Gas Reductions of industrial sectors in the EEC area under this project. TGO surveyed low carbon technology in 152 factories and organized training on “Low-Carbon technology” for the industries in EEC for effective implementation of Greenhouse Gas Reduction in the area as well as set up a self-assessment criteria on readiness for Low-Carbon industry and updated the GHG Mitigation Information Platform to disseminate GHG mitigation information as a guideline for accelerating the Low-Carbon industrial development in the EEC area to drive Thailand toward the Low-Carbon economy and society.
