CK Power Public Company Limited or CKPower (SET: CKP), one of the region’s largest producers of electricity from renewables with one of the lowest carbon footprints, received two awards at the Thailand-Japan Decarbonization Award (TJDA) 2026.
The Company was honored with the Golden Award for its “Waste and Wastewater Management in Power Generation Processes” project at Bangpa-in Cogeneration Power Plant, and the Silver Award for its “Waste to Value – Hinghoi: Preserving and Restoring Natural Resources” project at Xayaburi Hydroelectric Power Plant. The awards were organized by the Technology Promotion Association (Thailand-Japan) (TPA) to recognize organizations demonstrating excellence in developing and applying technologies and innovations that deliver tangible greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
On this occasion, Ms. Tuangporn Bunyasaranand, Assistant Managing Director Corporate Communication and Sustainability Management, and Mr. Anuwat Sasakul, Operation Manager, represented the Company in receiving the awards from Professor Dr. Supachai Pathumnakul, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), Thailand, at the Grand Hall, Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bangna, Bangkok.
Mr. Thanawat Trivisvavet, Managing Director of CKPower Public Company Limited, stated that the Company is committed to enhancing its power generation processes in the long term through the application of appropriate technologies and innovations in environmental management, energy management, and climate change.
This is carried out alongside the development of employees’ knowledge and capabilities, with a strong emphasis on fostering innovation and promoting an innovation-driven culture within the organization. This approach enables employees to actively participate in developing and advancing practical solutions for greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
Such efforts not only enhance operational efficiency and optimize resource utilization, but also create positive impacts on the environment and communities, while strengthening energy security and delivering sustainable value to stakeholders over the long term.
The two award-winning projects from the TJDA are as follows:
1. The “Waste and Wastewater Management in Power Generation Processes” project at Bangpa-in Cogeneration Power Plant focuses on efficient water resource management in electricity generation. The project emphasizes optimizing lubricating oil management to reduce waste, as well as enhancing water efficiency in the cooling system (cooling Tower) through chemical control adjustments to enable greater water reuse.
The project has reduced water consumption by over 743 million liters, generating cost savings of more than THB 5 million. It has also reduced lubricating oil usage by over 28,000 liters, resulting in additional savings of more than THB 2.6 million. Importantly, the project has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 95,000 kg CO₂e. In the long term, the initiative will be further expanded to utility systems to enhance efficiency and continue reducing waste.
2. The “Waste to Value – Hinghoi: Preserving and Restoring Natural Resources” project at Xayaburi Hydroelectric Power Plant transforms organic waste from food scraps within the plant into soil improvement materials. The initiative further supports environmentally friendly agriculture while promoting environmental awareness among youth and local communities.
The project has reduced carbon dioxide emissions from waste burning by over 3,840 kg CO₂e equivalent, while producing up to 2,665 kilograms of soil conditioners per year. These materials are distributed to communities surrounding the power plant, helping reduce fertilizer expenses by more than THB 72,900 Moving forward, the project aims to expand local collaboration networks to drive community-based innovation that maintains environmental balance, supports chemical-free agriculture, and reinforces the role of the private sector in creating shared value for society.
“Receiving these two awards reflects CKPower’s proven capabilities and tangible achievements, in line with the evaluation criteria of the TJDA 2026. This is demonstrated through the development and application of technology and knowledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Company also promotes employee engagement to raise awareness of energy conservation and environmental stewardship across its value chain, as it advances toward its goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050” Mr. Thanawat added.
