Leading private sector participants included PTT Public Company Limited, Sahaviriya Steel Industries, Toyota Tsusho (Thailand), and Neuman & Esser South East Asia Ltd.
The event facilitated knowledge sharing on policy, technology, and investment strategies to promote hydrogen use in energy and transport sectors, with over 200 participants from government agencies, academia, and industry.
ENTEC’s participation, as a member of the Hydrogen Thailand Association, reflects its strong commitment to supporting Thailand’s hydrogen ecosystem by bridging research, technology, and policy to position hydrogen as a key solution in the country’s future energy system.
