On 3rd April 2023, Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation (CJPT)* in cooperation with Siam Cement Group (SCG) and Toyota Motor Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate towards achieving Carbon Neutrality in Thailand.

In 1987, SCG and Toyota jointly established Siam Toyota Manufacturing Co., Ltd., an engine production company in Thailand. In the following year, SCG partly invested in Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd. SCG and Toyota have been in a deep and strong relationship ever since and have expanded their business in line with the development of Thai society and economy. Both companies have been supported and got the opportunity to grow in Thailand, would cooperate with CJPT to be a part to contribute happiness to 67 million Thai citizens through Carbon Neutrality under the concept of "doing what can be done now, together with partners who share the same view". The parties reached an agreement for solutions in the three areas which are energy, data, and mobility by taking advantage of the country's resources, and expect to generate its outcome by the end of this year. In this regard, the kick-off project took place with producing hydrogen from poultry farm's biogas and conducting Carbon Neutrality Mobility Event recently.

To immediately start working on the three areas, we aim to drive the project for society which cover all cycle of producing, transporting, and using energy in some special economic zones in Thailand. Including verifying and visualizing effects through the assigned unit for further expansion in other regions. However, the three parties (CJPT, CP, and Toyota) will also take the opportunity to estimate the level of CO2 emission reduction caused by the collaboration toward carbon neutrality.

The Carbon Neutrality topic should be an issue that gets all segments’ collaboration. The collaboration of these three parties (CJPT, SCG, and Toyota) who work together under the same view would be one of the ways to give back to Thailand.
