CKPower Cuts Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Strengthening Its Role as Thailand’s Sustainable Energy Leader

Nov 5, 2024 by Sujata 0 Comments #producer, #Slashes

BANGKOK, Nov. 5, 2024 – CKPower Public Company Limited (SET: CKP), one of Southeast Asia’s largest producers of electricity from renewables, reported that in the first half of 2024, the company further reduced energy consumption by 2,883 MWh (equivalent to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 1,313 tCO2e), or the equivalent of turning off lights in Bangkok for 119 hours, through innovations to reduce energy consumption and enhancing the efficiency of electricity production.

Mr. Thanawat Trivisvavet, Managing Director, CKPower Public Company Limited.

Mr. Thanawat Trivisvavet, Managing Director, CKPower Public Company Limited, said, “We made a serious commitment to becoming a Net Zero company.  This reduction marks significant progress on that journey and reinforces our position as having one of the lowest carbon footprints of all major electricity producers in the region.”

He said that CKPower’s initiatives to become a Net Zero company include making further improvements to its power generation efficiency across the 18 power plants at which it generates electricity.  The company currently releases around 0.0691 tCO2e of greenhouse gases per megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity produced, as compared to Thailand’s national average that is more than seven times higher at 0.4999 tCO2e/MWh.

In addition to managing its greenhouse gas emissions and improving it power generation efficiency, CKPower also reported that it has been successful in boosting the proportion of its power generation capacity that is renewables-based to be 93%, as compared to around 89% two years ago.

Among the large power producers of Thailand, CKPower has the greatest proportion of power generation capacity that is renewables-based.

According to Mr. Trivisvavet, in order to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the company is also studying an electricity generation project utilising hydrogen fuel mixed with natural gas in combined cycle power plants, in line with Thailand’s energy transition plan laid out in the draft Power Development Plan of Thailand 2024 – 2037 (PDP2024).

CKPower’s renewables-based power plants supplied Thailand with around 8.5 million megawatt-hours of clean electricity, or around 17% of the total clean electricity used in Thailand during 2023 and thereby helped avoid the creation of around 4.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions per year.

Rishabh Dudhedia

Rishabh Dudhedia‘s path is replete with tales of passion, transformation, and persistent pursuit of dreams. Since his family was deeply involved in the medical field, Rishabh began his career in a conventional manner. All three of his parents and grandparents worked in the medical field. Even though Rishabh’s family has a long history in medicine, his parents encouraged him to pursue his real interest, filmmaking. Their support was invaluable to him as he made the shift from a steady engineering career to the wild and exciting world of filmmaking.

A Bold Beginning

Rishabh started his academic career in engineering since it provided stability and was an obvious continuation of his family’s legacy of disciplined careers. He had an unrelenting calling to become a filmmaker, regardless of the opportunity. He was so drawn to filmmaking that he felt obliged to abandon engineering to pursue his love.

Media and Film Interests for Academics

Rishabh enrolled at the University of Mumbai to hone his talents, and he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in media and film. During this time, there were a number of notable successes and educational opportunities. Notably, Rishabh participated in the 48-hour short film competition. This was an inventive and challenging endeavour that led to the selection of his video as one of the top 50.

Rishabh studied at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles, California, to get a Master of Fine Arts in Cinematography as part of his academic endeavours. This postgraduate degree significantly boosted his technical proficiency and artistic vision, preparing him for the competitive world of filmmaking.

One of Rishabh’s greatest career accomplishments was serving as producer and cinematographer for the 7 Marble Productions short film “ZAMEER,” which starred the well-known actor Jackie Shroff. The largest Indian film festival in Europe, the 21st Indian Film Festival Stuttgart, and the 14th Pune Film Festival have both officially picked ZAMEER.

Stand-Alone Companies and Notable Projects

These days, Rishabh works for himself as a key grip, gaffer, and cinematographer. His reel is filled with numerous feature films and short films. Among them is the feature film “Treacherous Border,” produced by Lion & Tiger Productions. Based on a genuine story, this film was shot in Texas near the US-Mexico border and highlights Rishabh’s developing skill at narrating intricate and intensely personal stories.

Future Initiatives

It seems like thrilling new adventures are about to embark on in Rishabh’s filmmaking career. He is now working on several film scripts and a TV show pilot based on an award-winning novel. Through these initiatives, he hopes to maximise his enthusiasm and expertise, which will help him achieve greater success in the field.
