As climate change becomes a critical global challenge, the energy sector is advancing significantly toward a low-carbon society. CKPower, one of the region's largest renewable energy producers with one of the lowest carbon footprints, has announced major progress on its sustainability path by winning two awards from the Thailand-Japan Decarbonization Award 2025 (TJDA). The awards reflect not only measurable results but also the company's commitment to driving the organization toward its net-zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 through technology, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration.
CKPower's award-winning distinction comes from innovation projects demonstrating tangible results in resource efficiency and environmental impact reduction. The first project, "Waste and Wastewater Management in Energy Production," at Bangkok-iao Cogeneration Power Plant focuses on efficient water resource management in electricity generation. The facility optimized lubricant systems to reduce waste and improved cooling tower water efficiency through chemical control adjustments, enabling greater water recycling. The project achieved water savings of over 743 million liters, cost savings of 19.5 million baht, reduced lubricant use by over 28,000 liters saving 2.6 million baht, and cut greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 95,000 kilograms of CO2 equivalent.
The second project, "Waste to Value: Bat Conservation for Natural Resource and Environmental Preservation," at Xayaburi Hydroelectric Power Plant applies circular economy principles in the community. The facility converts organic waste from plant food scraps into soil-quality improvement materials, supporting pesticide-free farming while building environmental awareness among youth and community members. Between 2023-2025, the project managed over 31,333 kilograms of organic waste and produced approximately 8,472 kilograms of soil conditioner valued at 72,900 baht annually. Participating households earned an average of 9,300 baht per household from vegetable cultivation.
The success of these initiatives stems from CKPower's "C-K-P" sustainability strategy framework, which balances business growth, environment, and society. C stands for Clean Electricity, targeting 100% renewable electricity use by 2029 and over 95% renewable energy installed capacity by the same year. K represents Kind Neighbor, aiming to improve community quality of life and create value while respecting human rights across the business chain. P signifies Partnership for Life, driving sustainable growth through investment and innovation to strengthen the region's energy security and create long-term value.
