GC and TOYO Join Forces to Boost Energy Efficiency and Cut Emissions, Advancing Toward a Low-Carbon Future
In a significant step toward sustainability, Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO), led by President and CEO Eiji Hosoi, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC), represented by Chief Operating Officer Pornsak Mongkoltrirat. The collaboration focuses on reducing energy consumption and enhancing heat exchange efficiency across GC's facilities, with a shared goal of becoming a low-carbon organization.
At the heart of this partnership is TOYO’s proprietary HERO (Hybrid Energy system Re-Optimization) technology, which GC has identified as crucial in its journey to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050.
Mr. Pornsak Mongkoltrirat, Chief Operating Officer of GC, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, saying, “Partnering with TOYO to implement HERO technology will elevate GC’s production sites, aligning with our ‘3 Steps Plus Evolution’ strategy, which maximizes efficiency and minimizes costs through innovation and technology while balancing business growth with sustainability. This partnership reinforces our commitment to sustainability, minimizing environmental impact, and advancing GC’s mission of becoming a low-carbon organization by 2050.”
Mr.Eiji Hosoi, President and CEO of TOYO, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, saying, “We are honored to be part of this groundbreaking initiative, which aligns perfectly with TOYO’s mission of 'Engineering for Sustainable Growth of the Global Community.' As a technology provider, we aim to drive innovation in energy conservation and decarbonization solutions for chemical process industries. This collaboration underscores our commitment to advancing a carbon-neutral society and supporting sustainable development of GC and beyond.”
Key Aspects of the Collaboration:
1. Driving Energy Efficiency and Decarbonization
Under the MOU, TOYO will conduct in-depth assessments of key GC Group plants, including refineries and five steam cracker plant trains. By leveraging HERO technology, an emerging and cutting-edge innovation being implemented across the majority of GC’s facilities, this initiative aims to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and enhance overall energy efficiency.
2. Mutual Knowledge and Expertise Sharing
Both companies have agreed to exchange personnel and expertise to further develop their respective capabilities. TOYO will gain insights into GC's plant operations, while GC will benefit from TOYO's technological expertise in energy efficiency and decarbonization efforts.
TOYO has a proven track record with GC, having already introduced HERO technology in two of the company's plants. The company remains committed to supporting Thailand's petrochemical industry in its decarbonization journey while contributing to global efforts to curb carbon emissions.
