Thailand/Germany: The Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) has expanded on its partnership with Germany’s development agency, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon technologies in Thailand’s cement industry. The collaboration aims to transfer proven technologies and expertise from developed economies to support Thailand’s transition toward net zero emissions by 2050. Members of TCMA will advance towards net zero emissions through expansion of low-carbon cement, improved energy efficiency, increased use of alternative fuels and raw materials and greater reliance on renewable energy. The cooperation covers technology transfer, capacity building, access to ‘green’ finance and support for industry readiness.
Nopadol Ramyarupa, vice chair of TCMA, said "TCMA now has tangible progress and clear direction. The challenge is scaling up while maintaining competitiveness."
