This Technology Transfer Advances Thailand's
- Nationally Determined Contribution to "achieve climate-resilient and low-carbon growth in line with a sustainable development path by 2050".
Context
Thailand's Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) aim to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 7-20 % by 2020. The iron and steel industry is the largest energy consuming industry, and one of the most prevalent sources of GHGs emissions. Thailand would like to study the baseline of energy consumption and GHG emissions among other countries as a benchmark to support Thailand's NAMA implementation.
Requested CTCN Response
• GHG calculation training
• Workshop (case study in steel industry) to improve energy efficiency
• Recommendations on questionnaire design
• Create SEC and GHG guidelines for the metal industry
• Develop technology list
• Suggest techniques and technology improvement to reduce energy and GHG emission
Relevant Technologies and Approaches
- Advanced wet quenching for iron and steel sector
- Coke dry quenching for iron and steel sector
- Direct casting for iron and steel sector
- Scrap preheating for iron and steel
- Smelt reduction for iron and steel sector
Expected Results
• Comparison of benchmark performance and review of best practices
• Identification of methods for energy use reduction and GHG emissions
• Improved energy efficiency and GHG mitigation
