Energy Consumption

Management Approach

The refinery business is an energy-intensive industry utilizing significant energy in production processes, including thermal energy, electricity, and steam. Consequently, efficient energy management is a primary priority that the Company continually strives to optimize within its internal operations.

The Company has achieved ISO 50001 certification, an energy management system subject to external auditing. This process enables the Company to systematically analyze energy consumption data, identify areas of high-energy usage, and uncover opportunities for enhancing energy efficiency. This fosters confidence and transparency in energy management while ensuring annual performance reporting to the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE).

Strategies and Actions

The Company monitors equipment with significant energy use annually and actively seeks advanced technologies for integration into production processes. Furthermore, the Company encourages employees to participate in the Energy Improvement Project, which focuses on reducing energy consumption, enhancing production efficiency, and continuously increasing productivity.

Office buildings and business centers primarily consume electricity and fuel. Measures have been implemented to enhance energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Bangchak's head office building has been awarded LEED Platinum certification, ranking as the first in Thailand to receive certification under LEED for Commercial Interior (CI) 2009 for the largest commercial interior space in the country. The office building is decorated in an environmental-friendly architectural design and constructed by considering saving energy and water, air quality control, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and efficient use of resources. With this concept, this building can improve the quality of residential lives, building users, and the environment inside the building.

Green Building

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design : LEED Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building standard that addresses energy use, environmental issues, and occupant quality of life. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) created it to evaluate the performance of buildings in building design, construction, and use.
