Thailand to boost renewable energy ambitions to 50%

August 13, 2018 |

In Thailand, the Bangkok Post reports that in conjunction with the local launch of Shell’s Sky Scenario initiative, the government announced it would increase its ambitions for renewable energy consumption by setting its target at 50% in the next 40 years. Currently plans aim for 30% by 2036 but the national alternative energy development plan will be updated to take the new goals into account. This year’s programs to promote renewables include producing energy from waste biomass in the southern part of the state and a rooftop solar program.
