Aligning with both the “Policy on Energy Conservation Management and Access to Modern Sustainable Energy” and the “Policy on Environmental Management”, Thammasat commits to manage and effectively use the energy from fossil fuels and encouraging the use of clean and renewable energy.
As stretched in item #6 and item #11 in the Policy on Energy Conservation Management, the University supports and allocate the budget for the investment in clean energy technology, divesting from carbon-intensive energy, and seeks to collaborate, both nationally and globally, in research and technology development in clean and renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced fuel technology.
Solar Rooftop, an example of clean energy and energy-efficient consumption, is continuing to be installed in Rangsit and Lampang Campus to replace fossil fuel generated electricity for Thammasat University. Refer to item #8 in the Notification on Energy Conservation, the goal is to invest more on clean energy and increase the usage of the electricity generated from solar cell up to 10% of the University’s electricity consumption by 2022.
Manage and develop transportation systems that are safe and energy-efficient, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and use vehicles that are environmentally friendly, are what Thammasat University has set as one of the key requirements stated in the “Policy on Environmental Management” issued in 2019.
