Moving forward with a target of achieving 25 per cent of energy from renewable resources by 2012 from its current 10.4 per cent contribution, Thailand is all set to create a dynamic knowledge-based exchange platform under the flagship event Sustainable Energy & Technology Asia 2016 (SETA 2016).
The three-day international conference and exhibition, under the aegis of the Ministry of Energy (MoEN) of Thailand, will aim to align the ten developing country members of Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) towards a collective vision of 'Securing Asia's Energy Future' with respect to the environment.
Pushing for the change in outlook, Director of EPPO and Co-Chairman of SETA2016 Twarath Sutabutr said, “In recent times, the big Energy evaluation of the world is changing. Thailand must adapt and go after fast changing technologies such as smaller modules of power plant, enhanced use of clean technology, advance electrical vehicle technology, etc.”
‘ Overall, we need to inculcate a stronger sentiment for green and environment concerns along with the other developing and emerging Asian economies.”
This is a big step for Thailand in charting to its own growth trajectory and building an enabling policy and investment environment.
