The new co-generation system will be built within the premises of Thai Honda and is expected to start operation in February 2018. With the new system equipped with low CO2 emission technologies, Thai Honda will be efficiently supplied electricity and energies such as steam, hot water and cold waters to its manufacturing processes. The company expects to reduce energy usage by over 13 percent annually while ensuring stability of its energy supply system. Besides, the system will reduce CO2 emissions during energy-generating process by over 7,000* carbon dioxide tons (t-CO2) yearly. Thanks to its high efficiency in reducing CO2 emissions, this co-generation system will be subsidized by Japan's Joint Credit Mechanism (JCM).
The partnership between the two companies was initiated by Thai Honda based on its environmental commitment to reduce CO2 at all operation processes. To improve its energy supplying system, Thai Honda assigned NSET, which possesses expertise in energy solutions, to set up an efficient co-generation system.
Thai Honda will give NSET with a detailed plan of its energy usage requirement, while NSET will set up an on-site co-generation system. Thus, NSET will provide Thai Honda its services, covering system designs, equipment purchase, construction, staff training and service maintenance during 15 years.
As both companies are committed to reducing carbon footprints in Thai and global societies, Thai Honda and NSET expect that the new environment-friendly and highly efficient co-generation system will help them attain this goal.
