PTT's Vision for Sustainable Growth in ASEAN
At the ASEAN Economic Outlook 2025 forum, PTT's CEO, Kongkrapan Intarajang, outlined PTT's strategy for sustainable energy in ASEAN. He emphasized a practical energy transition due to the region’s reliance on natural gas. PTT is focusing on carbon capture and storage projects and exploring hydrogen to achieve net-zero goals.
At the ASEAN Economic Outlook 2025 forum, KONGKRAPAN INTARAJANG, CEO and president of PTT, detailed the firm’s strategy for sustainable energy transition in the ASEAN region.
Titled ‘ASEAN Economic Outlook 2025,’ the forum was hosted by The Nation Group’s Krungthep Thurakij newspaper.
With a population nearing 700 million and a GDP accounting for over 6% of global output, ASEAN is a significant economic entity.
Kongkrapan emphasized the importance of a smooth and practical transition toward clean energy, given the region’s heavy reliance on natural gas, especially in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Myanmar.
For example, Thailand relies on the Gulf of Thailand for 50% of its energy needs while importing the rest.
PTT aims to solve resource challenges through collaborations and negotiating shared use of resources in overlapping claims areas, even without clear boundary resolutions.
To minimize the environmental impact of gas-fired power, PTT is investing in carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects and exploring hydrogen as a cleaner fuel option.
Kongkrapan reaffirmed PTT's commitment to achieving net-zero goals and economic development with environmental sustainability.
