BIG, a climate technology trailblazer recognized for its prowess in industrial gas and greenhouse gas reduction, has teamed up with B.Grimm Power to ink a groundbreaking cooperation agreement. Centered on the exploration and development of hydrogen fuel for electricity generation, this partnership is set to revolutionize the shift from fossil fuels to green energy. By harnessing state-of-the-art hydrogen technology, this collaboration aims to lead the way in sustainable energy transformation and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Dr. Harald Link, President of B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited, a vanguard in Thailand’s private power generation sphere, revealed that B.Grimm Power’s “GreenLeap – Global and Green” strategy, launched in 2023, is a proactive roadmap designed to navigate the swiftly changing global energy landscape and cater to evolving customer demands. This forward-thinking strategy focuses on expanding renewable energy projects both domestically and internationally, providing clean, sustainable, and reliable energy at affordable prices while minimizing environmental impacts. Key dynamic elements include sourcing alternative energy sources for future electricity generation and exploring the potential of hydrogen-based electricity. This transformative approach aligns seamlessly with B.Grimm Power’s new vision of “Empowering the World Compassionately,” positioning the company as a beacon of sustainable and safe energy development.
The collaboration with BIG, an industry leader in innovative industrial gas solutions and climate-friendly greenhouse gas emission reduction, is a cornerstone of the GreenLeap strategy. By merging the robust capabilities and expertise of both organizations, this alliance aims to propel the use of hydrogen blended with natural gas for electricity generation. This groundbreaking venture is set to broaden market opportunities for eco-conscious consumers and is essential in propelling B.Grimm Power’s mission to boost renewable energy share from 25% to over 50% by 2030. Additionally, it fortifies B.Grimm Power’s pledge to emerge as a world-class energy producer and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Mr. Piyabut Charuphen, Managing Director of BIG, announced the company’s advancement in hydrogen innovations, a domain where both BIG and its parent company, Air Products, are globally acknowledged leaders. As the world’s largest green hydrogen producer, Air Products fortifies BIG’s commitment to leveraging clean energy for Thailand’s energy transition, anchored by its business strategy of “Generating a Cleaner Future.” This strategy underscores hydrogen energy production as a pivotal climate technology for curtailing carbon emissions. Initial studies indicate that utilizing hydrogen for electricity generation can slash CO2 emissions by up to 10,000 tons annually, equivalent to planting a staggering 600,000 trees.
This cooperative venture with B.Grimm Power marks a landmark stride for Thailand’s private sector, pioneering the production of electricity from clean energy and advancing hydrogen energy development. This initiative significantly bolsters Thailand’s energy security and aligns with the national Power Development Plan (PDP). BIG’s low-carbon hydrogen, certified by the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) and bearing the Carbon Footprint Product (CFP) label, signifies a drastic 95% reduction in carbon emissions, rivalling the efficacy of Blue Hydrogen. Beyond electricity generation, hydrogen emerges as a viable solution for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial and transportation sectors, aligning with government policies aimed at achieving carbon neutrality.
BIG and B.Grimm’s commitment to advancing hydrogen electricity production, targeting an impressive reduction of over 10,000 tons of annual carbon emissions, is a monumental leap towards a cleaner, greener future. By harnessing the synergy between cutting-edge technology and sustainable strategies, this partnership is well-equipped to steer Thailand—and perhaps the world—towards a more sustainable energy paradigm. As both companies stride forward hand in hand, the vision of a net-zero carbon future by 2050 doesn’t just seem achievable; it looks incredibly promising. Together, they are not just changing the game; they are defining the future of energy.
