AGC Vinythai Public Company Limited, a leading manufacturer of chlor-alkali, PVC and Epichlorohydrin and BIG, a climate technology company, have signed a cooperation agreement to supply low-carbon nitrogen and low-carbon oxygen through a pipeline network in the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Rayong Province. These gases will be used in the sustainable production of Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM). The project is expected to commence within 2025.
This cooperation marks a significant step for both companies in their joint efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also showcases the application of BIG’s Climate Technology, utilizing low-carbon industrial gases in the industrial sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a pressing concern across all industries. Furthermore, this partnership underscores the support to Thailand’s target in reducing greenhouse gas by 30 percent from the projected business-as-usual level by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2065. The adoption of low-carbon nitrogen and low-carbon oxygen in the production process will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from AGC Vinythai’s operations.
