The Centre of Excellence in Eco-Energy (CEEE) at Thammasat University’s Faculty of Engineering is actively providing direct services to Thailand’s industrial sector, helping companies improve energy management and achieve ambitious decarbonisation targets.

CEEE acts as a key project manager and expert consultant for crucial national initiatives. In close collaboration with the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (TGO), the Centre provides technical services and capacity-building workshops aimed directly at local industry and entrepreneurs.

One major initiative involves managing a project to enhance the capabilities of industrial plants within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). This direct support focuses on training operators in the Rayong, Chonburi, and Chachoengsao provinces to use the national “CFO Platform.” This service enables companies to assess their carbon footprint accurately and implement effective greenhouse gas management strategies.

The ultimate goal of this expert support is to guide businesses in setting Science Based Targets (SBT) and developing clear pathways toward Net Zero. This process is intrinsically linked to improving energy efficiency and identifying opportunities for adopting cleaner energy alternatives.

Beyond these sponsored projects, CEEE offers its expertise through commercially available, in-depth training programmes. For instance, specialised courses on calculating the ‘Carbon Footprint of Organization (CFO)’ are offered to professionals seeking certified skills. In these fee-based programmespersonnel from Thammasat University serve as the primary instructors, delivering expert-led training (as detailed at Carbon Footprint for Organization: CFO) for organisations investing in their sustainability capabilities.

This hybrid approach demonstrates Thammasat’s flexible commitment. While many large-scale initiatives are provided free of charge to participating companies, CEEE also provides specialised, paid-for courses, ensuring that direct services are accessible to all parts of local industry driving the Net Zero transition.
