CKPower Wins Two Awards at Thailand-Japan Decarbonization Award 2026, Reflecting Innovation Potential in Resource and Environmental Management
Recently, CK Power Public Company Limited (CKP), one of the region's largest renewable energy producers and among those with the lowest carbon footprint, clinched two awards from the Thailand-Japan Decarbonization Award (TJDA) 2026 platform. The awards include a Golden Award for its waste and wastewater management project in the energy production process of the Bang Pa-in Cogeneration Power Plant, and a Silver Award for its Waste to Value lantern project aimed at conservation, protection, and restoration of natural resources and the environment at the Xayaburi Hydropower Plant. These awards are presented by the Thai-Japan Association for Technology Promotion (SJTA), which aims to promote and honor organizations that excel in developing and applying technology and innovation to concretely reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ms. Tuangphon Bunyanasaranun, Assistant Managing Director for Corporate Communications and Sustainability Management, and Mr. Anuwat Sathakul, Operations Department Manager, represented the company in receiving the honors from Professor Dr. Suphachai Patumanakul, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, at the Grand Hall of Bitec Bangkok Convention Centre in Bangkok.
Thanawat Trivishvavet, Managing Director of CK Power Public Company Limited, stated that CKPower is committed to advancing its long-term electricity production processes through appropriate technology and innovation in environmental management, energy management, and climate change response. This is coupled with developing employee knowledge and capabilities, emphasizing the creation of 'innovators' and fostering an innovation culture within the organization. This enables employees to participate in developing and advancing concrete approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which not only improves operational efficiency and cost-effective resource use but also creates positive environmental and community impacts, strengthens energy security, and generates sustainable value for stakeholders over the long term.
The two award-winning projects are as follows:
The waste and wastewater management project in the energy production process of the Bang Pa-in Cogeneration Power Plant is an approach to efficiently manage water resources in electricity production, focusing on managing the lubricating oil system to reduce waste and improving water efficiency in the cooling tower system through chemical control adjustments to enable greater water recycling. The project has reduced water consumption by more than 743 million liters and saved costs exceeding 5 million baht, while reducing lubricating oil consumption by more than 28,000 liters, saving over 2.6 million baht. Importantly, it reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 95,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent. Long-term plans include advancing to utility systems to further improve efficiency and reduce waste.
The Waste to Value lantern project for conservation, protection, and restoration of natural resources and the environment at the Xayaburi Hydropower Plant transforms organic waste from food scraps at the power plant into soil quality improvement material and promotes environmentally friendly agriculture while building environmental awareness among youth and community members.
