EGAT joins forces with CSIRO to penetrate energy storage and hydrogen energy systems in Thailand

Bangkok 7 Aug-EGAT in collaboration with CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization : CSIRO), Australia Memorandum of Understanding on Business Possibilities in Energy Storage Systems in Thailand Reinforces Business Cooperation in Energy Storage Systems and hydrogen energy Driving the energy transition in Thailand towards sustainable carbon neutral goals

Mr. Boonyanit Wongrakmit, Governor of Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Dr.Dietmar Tourbier, Director of Energy Business Unit Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization : CSIRO), Australia Memorandum of Understanding on business feasibility of energy storage systems in Thailand

Currently, the transition of the energy sector around the world Towards the goal of carbon neutrality (Carbon Neutrality) is an opportunity and a challenge for every country. which must accelerate the proportion of electricity generation from renewable energy while maintaining stability Flexibility and quality of the power system go hand in hand with EGAT. Therefore, EGAT is committed to developing technologies that will help drive the achievement of important goals, namely Energy Storage Systems and the use of hydrogen as fuel to generate electricity by Since 2022, the Ministry of Energy has cooperated with the Australian Embassy in various energy activities One of them is the energy storage system. and hydrogen technology

EGAT as an energy agency under the supervision of the Ministry of Energy Therefore, it has cooperated with CSIRO through a memorandum of understanding on business feasibility of energy storage systems in Thailand. They will jointly study energy storage systems to stabilize renewable energy. It covers the design and safety of energy storage systems, including studies on the supply chain of energy storage systems. They will also jointly study hydrogen fuel. in terms of production, storage, transportation, and using hydrogen as a fuel for power generation within one year of cooperation

CSIRO is the Australian National Scientific Research Agency. One of the largest and most diverse scientific research organizations in the world. Expertise in technology that reduces carbon emissions There are research studies that support both the public and private sectors. To be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from production and use energy efficiently. Supporting the transformation of the global energy system have cooperation with industry and research units Overseeing the country's research structure and research collection Study and use scientific knowledge to tackle the challenges Australia faces beyond energy.-Thai News Agency
