DAD creates “clean energy” to increase options for government centers.

Bangkok, DAD prepares to use "hydrogen gas" to produce electricity to supply Chalerm Phrakiat Government Complex, Chaengwattana, meeting the needs of a green city. and sustainable development Dr. Nalikotipak Sangsnit, Managing Director of Thanarak Asset Development Co., Ltd. or DAD Asset Development, revealed that DAD is preparing to study the possibility of additional alternative energy. To be used to produce electricity for use within Chaloem Phrakiat Government Complex, Chaengwattana, from the current use of solar energy from solar panels. Initially interested in energy from hydrogen gas as an alternative fuel that is a clean energy. to be used to produce electricity Recently, we are in the process of hiring a consultant to design in-depth details and plan the work. Thinking from the design of the structure Architecture and systems work such as laying pipes and designing rooms or buildings for energy production. The important thing is to consider maximum safety. and answers to long-term cost savings The energy obtained will be converted into electricity for use within the building. Initially, it will start at Thanapipat Building, which is the headquarters of DAD, which is well equipped in many areas and has high potential for operations. To develop it into a prototype zero energy building, Net Zero building, according to the DAD 5-year strategic plan in promoting building management with the BCG Model. From a preliminary study on the production process of electrical energy from hydrogen gas. The technology for separating hydrogen from water using renewable energy has been chosen. It uses energy produced from solar panels from the building's rooftop. Which is left over from the production of electrical energy used within the project during the daytime to be processed and stored as hydrogen gas. For use as the main fuel for generating electricity through fuel cells. and has an energy storage system in the battery To provide backup energy for use at night or according to the needs of each period. which was fou nd to have a high possibility of being carried out Therefore, it has been designed into in-depth details again. If the results of the study are convincing, action will be taken. To be completed within 2027, it is expected that the total operating budget will be more than 10 million baht over 4 years, but will be worthwhile in the long term and sustainably. 'DAD is a government agency. You must dare to take the initiative to invest in new innovations. To be used in managing and developing projects that help conserve energy and the environment sustainably. Including being a model for other government agencies. and can also create a trend for investment in alternative energy. to other agencies as well, aiming at investing for value that will occur in the long term and in line with the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs of the United Nations,' Dr. Nalakotipak Said.
