5. Greenhouse Gas Emission Management
The company aims to develop its business toward a low carbon society. Our performance includes: 1. Using energy efficiently and maximizing efficiency
2. Operating in compliance with environmental laws/regulations
3. Calculating the carbon footprint of the organization (CFO)
Goals, Guidelines and Strategies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Business Operations
The company operates in the electricity and energy production business, which directly uses fuel energy for production. The company therefore focuses on operations to directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The company sees opportunities and potential to reduce greenhouse gases by improving energy efficiency, reducing losses in production processes, studying the use of alternative fuels to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals, and looking for investment opportunities in renewable energy businesses. In 2022, the company conducted its first assessment of corporate greenhouse gas emissions and removals.
Goals
Although the company’s renewable electricity production helps improve the overall global environment and atmosphere, there are still minor greenhouse gas emissions during the production process. To demonstrate our commitment to the vision and mission of conducting business for the maximum benefit of society, stakeholders and the environment, the company has set a goal to become a net zero greenhouse gas emissions organization. This will be achieved through the integrated implementation of various measures as follows:
Carbon Lowering Measures such as reducing or avoiding unnecessary activities, using cleaner production and waste management technologies, and increasing use of solar power.
Carbon Offset Measures such as using carbon capture/storage technologies, and carbon credits purchase.
Guidelines and Strategies
Conduct a Carbon Footprint of Organization (CFO) assessment to collect data on greenhouse gas generating activities, to be used for planning and management to efficiently and tangibly reduce or offset emissions.
Energy Conservation
The company implements energy saving measures such as turning off lights when not in use, selecting high efficiency energy equipment, and scheduling electricity usage times.
Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations
All the company’s renewable power plants strictly follow the mitigation measures specified in the EIA/CoP reports, throughout the pre-operation, construction and operation phases. During the operating period, an EIA/CoP Monitoring Report has been submitted annually to the relevant agencies for review.
All power plants can control the environmental quality and pollution within the plant area and surrounding communities to meet 100% of standards. Measurements of environmental quality and pollution parameters are fully compliant with legal and regulatory standards*. Therefore, there are no negative impacts on natural resources and the environment.
