BIG” announces organizational transformation. Ready to drive business with Climate Technology, expecting the government to promote hydrogen fuel The value of hydrogen in Thailand in 2025-2030 is estimated at approximately 50,000 million baht.

Mr. Piyabut Charupen, Managing Director of Bangkok Industrial Gas Company Limited (BIG), revealed that on the occasion of the company’s 35th anniversary, it announced organizational transformation. In the future, the name “BIG” will be used in order to be in line with the world’s changes towards a low-carbon society. and driving towards the Net Zero goal that “BIG” is committed to developing industrial gas innovations To truly reach the goal of sustainability with Climate Technology, in line with Thailand’s goal of reaching carbon neutrality in 2050 and Net Zero by 2065, which is now BIG itself has already taken action. Progress has been made in reducing net carbon emissions from reducing electricity use in production processes by more than 20%, from a target of 33% in 2030, to reach the Net Zero goal with Climate Technology in 2050.

Mr. Piyabutr, one of the important climate technologies is hydrogen. The economic value of hydrogen in Thailand in the period 2025-2030 is estimated to be approximately 50,000 million baht, and after 2030 it is expected that the value will be 50,000 million baht. 200,000-300,000 million baht. Currently, many organizations are preparing plans for this matter, and BIG is collaborating with PTT Group and Toyota to establish the first hydrogen fueling service station for the automotive sector in ASEAN in the Bang Lamung District area. Chonburi since 2022 and also plans to introduce carbon storage technology and electrolysis technology. To develop blue hydrogen and green hydrogen Collaborate with leading organizations in the country Focusing on important projects that can actually be done To push the full transition from fossil energy to hydrogen energy.

However, it is expected that the government will set up the entire supply chain infrastructure. Including doing a carbon tax (Carbon Tax) like in other countries. It will be tracked how carbon is managed. Including the government policy in managing Net Zero, how to make it concrete. As for promoting the use of hydrogen in the automotive sector, Can compete with electric vehicles or EVs Especially for groups of large transport vehicles that require the amount of fuel to correspond with distances ranging from 500-1,000 kilometers, because if it is an EV transport vehicle, a large battery must be installed. This makes the vehicle unable to carry as much cargo as it should. Including the charging time takes a long time. Compared to using hydrogen gas It takes only 3-5 minutes to fill up and can run up to 700 kilometers. It can meet your needs and really works.

Currently, “BIG” is the largest producer of low-carbon hydrogen for use in commercial applications in the country. Has expertise in innovation and the development of hydrogen-related technologies The company uses technology from the parent company, Air Products, USA, which is the world’s largest hydrogen producer. There is a major project with an investment value of more than 15,000 million US dollars. It focuses on developing projects related to Blue Hydrogen and Green Hydrogen. Currently, the project has progressed more than 50% and is expected to be fully ready for use in 2018. 2026-2027

In addition, BIG has developed another product in the field of Climate Technology, namely a smart platform for reducing net carbon emissions in the industrial sector through the Carbon Accounting Platform system. – Thai News Agency
