More funding planned for green energy researchListen to this article(Photo: 123RF)Thailand is stepping up efforts to support R&D in alternative energy, with officials preparing to allocate more financial resources to projects that advance clean technologies such as hydrogen. Funding is to be distributed through the Energy Conservation Fund, which backs initiatives aimed at improving energy efficiency and conservation. Rathachat Siripanich, manager of the fund's office, said the exact budget will be determined by the government, but stressed that authorities are not ignoring the importance of alternative energy. The Energy Conservation Fund has provided 9.4 million baht to support the project, recognising its importance for Thailand's energy transition. Despite these hurdles, officials believe hydrogen could play a central role in Thailand's clean energy future, helping to diversify energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
