Thailand’s CKPower sets 2050 net zero target

The company plans to raise the share of electricity from renewables to 95% from 89%.

Thailand-based CKPower announced plans to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases across its electricity generation plants by 2050.

"We have adopted this challenging goal to reduce our absolute emissions of greenhouse gases by 100%,” Thanawat Trivisvavet, Managing Director of CKPower, said.

“It's a decision we have made in consideration of the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), and to support Thailand's national policy to rapidly increase renewables-based electricity generation for both domestic as well as industrial use.”

CKPower also plans to increase the share of renewables in the electricity it produces to 95% of its total capacity from the current 89%.

Moreover, the company wants to more than double its size in the next three years as well as add another 2,800 megawatts of capacity.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
