Tipco Asphalt Announces Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Target by 2030 and Unveils Climate Strategic Projects

With this regard, Tipco Asphalt hereby has established an ambitious target of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by at least 36% by 2030, compared to GHG emissions in the base year 2020. This target only encompasses GHG emissions of the asphalt business in Thailand.

Our GHG emission reduction target will be achieved through climate strategies focusing on a series of climate strategic projects implemented at our head office and asphalt operations facilities in Thailand as follows:

  1. Increase the use of renewable energy sources and explore opportunities for on-site renewable energy generation
  2. Switch fuel from diesel to Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) for the heating system
  3. Convert boiler equipment to electric ones used in our asphalt production facilities
  4. Replace Company's vehicles with electric vehicles (EV)
  5. Manage logistics partners to reduce GHG emissions and invest in electric or fuel-efficient trucks

We recognize that achieving such a target by 2030 requires a collective effort and a continuous commitment to sustainability. We are excited to embark on this journey and proud to be a good corporate citizen contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
