SUSTAINABILITY: THE ENERGY TRANSITION AND NET ZERO

Personnel working in, or moving into, the energy industry who need a foundation in sustainability and the energy transition, including oil and gas, power generation and renewables personnel. There are no entry requirements.

1. 1.Energy supply and power generation: the main sources of energy supply (oil, natural gas, renewables, nuclear and coal), the main parts of the power generation sector, and the effect of energy supply on CO₂ emissions.
2. 2.Why the energy system is changing: climate change and the rationale for net zero, the six major greenhouse gases, and the main sectors that emit CO₂.
3. 3.Net zero: what net zero emissions means, the aims of the Paris Agreement and national commitments under the UN climate framework, and Thailand's plans and legislation for reaching net zero.
4. 4.Energy trends and the generation mix: long-term trends in energy use and electricity generation, how to read charts, graphs and tables, why the mix changes, the need to decarbonise, and the challenges of renewables and nuclear.
5. 5.Hydrogen: existing industrial uses and production methods, low-carbon and high-carbon hydrogen, conversion to ammonia, blending with natural gas, future uses, and Thailand's developing hydrogen economy.
6. 6.Carbon capture, utilisation and storage: existing industrial uses of CCUS, its potential in refineries and chemical processing, future uses, and emerging CCUS infrastructure in Thailand.
7. 7.Wind power: existing uses, its future role in the energy transition, the sectors affected, and emerging wind power infrastructure in Thailand.
8. 8.Solar power: existing uses, its future role in the energy transition, the sectors affected, and emerging solar power infrastructure in Thailand.
