In his opening remarks, Minister Anek highlighted policy key points of the current government. The Bio-Circular-Green Economy (BCG) model proposed by MHESI has been adopted as the main policy of the government and later declared the national agenda. BCG will also be the main topic of the APEC 2022 to be hosted by Thailand next year. In addition, the Prime Minister made an announcement at the 26th UNFCCC COP (COP 26) that Thailand will work towards carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065. MHESI therefore has a challenging task ahead to develop clean technology. There are currently 3,000 investment projects in BCG industries worth THB 700 billion in total and the value of BCG industries is expected to reach 25% of the GDP in five years. Minister Anek further added that BCG will also play a critical role to enable Thailand to become a developed nation by 2037 as targeted by the 20-year National Strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NXPO President Dr. Kitipong Promwong gave a presentation on Circular Economy (CE) Vision 2030. The CE policy aims to reduce resource use by 1\/4, cut down greenhouse gas emission by 5 million tons of CO2, and contribute 3% of the GDP with actions such as industrial symbiosis, reverse logistic & recycle, circular food waste, green industry and smart city. Furthermore, new business opportunities will be introduced through programs such as CE Solution Platform, CE Service Provider and CE City. The CE roadmap consists of 3 phases. Phase I (2022-2024) will be \u201cCE Innovation Projects\u201d phase in which various projects will be launched.  Phase II (2025-2027) will be dedicated to the design and implementation of \u201cCE Enabler and Ecosystem\u201d, whereas Phase III will focus on building \u201cASEAN CE Innovation Hub\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
