The government sector will join hands with the private sector to organise the grand event SustainAsia Week 2024 with the theme “Low Carbon & Sustainable ASEAN Economy.”

The event will consist of five concurrent activities to be held from 15 to 17 August 2024, covering exhibitions of cutting-edge energy technology and innovation, as well as international academic conferences focusing on important trends in clean energy and environmentally friendly practices aim is to drive Thailand towards achieving the Net Zero goal and advancing towards sustainable energy transformation.

Professor Pisut Piamnokul, Ph.D. Chairman at SustainAsia Week 2024 and SETA 2024, stated that the energy industry is facing challenges in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from production processes to drive the transition from conventional energy to clean energy that is environmentally friendly and supports sustainable development goals of the global community. Renewable energy sources and technologies for capturing carbon dioxide are becoming increasingly important and popular worldwide.

Therefore, GAT International Limited Company is collaborating with government agencies to organise the grand energy fair Sustain Asia Week 2024 as a significant platform for exchanging knowledge on the advancement of clean energy technology and innovation for sustainability. These agencies include:

  • Ministry of Energy
  • Office of the Prime Minister
  • Ministry of Transport
  • Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives
  • Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment
  • Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Innovation
  • Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Public Health
  • Ministry of Digital Economy and Society
  • Bangkok Metropolitan Administration
  • Chulalongkorn University

SustainAsia Week 2024: Propelling Thailand Towards Net Zero

The goal of SustainAsia Week 2024 is to propel Thailand towards the target of Carbon Neutrality by 2050 and achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065, leading the country towards sustainable energy transition success which is in line with the policy of the state leaders’ summit framework on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change at COP28.

SustainAsia Week 2024 is a gathering of five important energy-related events that will be held together under the theme “Low Carbon & Sustainable ASEAN Economy.” These events are:

  1. Sustainable Energy Technology Asia 2024 (SETA2024)
  2. Solar Energy Technology and Energy Storage Systems Asia 2024 (SSA2024)
  3. Sustainable Mobility Asia 2024 (SMA2024)
  4. Industrial, Technology, and Innovation Energy Expo 2024 (organised by The Federation of Thai Industries and will showcase renewable energy and environmental management)
  5. Zero Carbon Expo 2024 (will feature exhibition areas and academic seminars on various topics of interest)

The event is expected to attract over 15,000 participants from 55 countries worldwide, including energy industry CEOs and experts in energy and Zero Carbon initiatives. From top executives in the clean energy technology sector worldwide, as well as government and private sector organizations both domestically and internationally, over 100 organisations will come together to exchange deep insights and promote the use of renewable energy to sustainably reduce carbon emissions.

Additionally, SustainAsia Week 2024 will provide opportunities for business networking and showcase Thailand’s potential in the energy market to attract global investments.

The event will take place at the BITEC Bangna Exhibition and Convention Center in Bangkok

Highlights at SustainAsia Week 2024

One of the key stages at SustainAsia Week 2024 is the Leadership Asian Energy Summit, also known as The CEO Energy Forum. This is an opportunity for leaders from large energy organisations, including those from government agencies, the private sector, and international organisations, to come together to exchange ideas and share the latest knowledge updates on the sustainable energy future.

Topics to be discussed in this summit may include best practices for reducing carbon emissions in electricity generation, energy storage systems, and smart grid infrastructure, among others.

In addition, there is also cooperation in organising joint events at the Asian level, such as the 4th Asia CCUS Network Forum (ACNF4) supported by the Japanese government. This is a collaboration between the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ), and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (METI), which will be held in Thailand.

There are also other highlights at the event, such as product exhibitions and technology fairs in the forms of B2G, B2B, and B2Large C. These will involve inviting leading energy companies and Zero Carbon leaders from over 350 international organisations to present the latest technologies from the beginning to the end of the energy system, including:

  • Producing electricity aimed at reducing carbon emissions
  • Generating solar energy that covers everything from solar panel devices to energy storage system technology.

Innovations in clean energy from various renewable energy sources will also be showcased. For instance, hydrogen energy technology, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS), and digital energy technologies are transforming the transportation sector to be more environmentally friendly.

Moreover, The Federation of Thai Industries has jointly organised SETA 2024 to showcase the potential of the private sector in promoting sustainable practices. There will also be seminars and workshops to create knowledge and understanding about Zero Carbon and sustainability.

Opening More Avenues for Carbon Neutrality

SustainAsia Week 2024 also aims to open a stage for those interested in Carbon Credit to have the opportunity to meet experts and study the standards for measuring and certifying carbon credits in countries around the world. There will also be carbon credit clinics and various carbon reduction promotion activities.

An award ceremony for Asia’s Outstanding Energy Innovations will also be held on 15 August. To be feted at SustainAsia Week 2024 will be leading companies and local organisations that have an excellent track record in energy and carbon reduction.
