The German international cooperation organization GIZ, under the Thai-German Cooperation on Energy, Mobility, and Climate Change project, or TGC EMC, together with the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand, Bangkadi Industrial Park, B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited, and partners, held a conference to disseminate the results of a study on developing an energy transition strategic plan and guidelines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions for industry in Thailand, as well as to exchange approaches for putting the study results into practice. The conference was held in two locations: the Laem Chabang Industrial Estate area on September 15, 2026, at the Oakwood Hotel and Residence Sriracha in Chonburi Province, and the Bangkadi Industrial Park area on September 18, 2026, at The Idle Hotel and Residence in Pathum Thani Province, with representatives from the public sector, private sector, and industry participating in the exchange of views. The project uses Laem Chabang Industrial Estate in Chonburi Province and Bangkadi Industrial Park in Pathum Thani Province as pilot areas for collecting and analyzing data on energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in order to develop carbon reduction plans suited to each area, covering energy efficiency improvement, increasing the share of renewable energy, the use of low-carbon energy and technology, and the development of energy infrastructure, while taking into account technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impact. The study results reflect that reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the area level must be carried out in sequence, starting with measures that are ready today, such as energy efficiency improvement, energy management, and increasing the use of renewable energy, while preparing for measures and technologies in the next phase that require infrastructure development, commercial readiness, energy sources, investment, and appropriate supporting policies. As the area's energy partner, B.Grimm Power plays a role in linking the energy transition with the needs of industrial operators, aiming to balance energy security and reliability of supply, cost competitiveness, and carbon reduction. This conference provided a platform to exchange approaches for translating the Roadmap into action, covering Thailand's climate trends and goals, carbon reduction measures, energy efficiency, the transition of the power generation sector, green electricity, funding sources, and the ESCO Model, with area-based collaboration serving as a key mechanism linking estate developers, energy producers and service providers, industrial operators, the public sector, the financial sector, and technology service providers. The study results and lessons from the two areas will serve as case studies for application to other industrial areas going forward. The TGC EMC project receives budget support from the International Climate Initiative, or IKI, under the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, or BMUKN, aiming to support Thailand's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality through operations in five main areas: renewable energy, transport, carbon dioxide reduction in industry, biomass, and climate finance.
B.Grimm Power Public Company LimitedB.Grimm Power is a partner in the GIZ/IEAT study on energy transition and carbon-reduction plans for Thai industrial estates, but the article reports no concrete financial or operational outcome for the company.
