Greening Industry Through Low Carbon Technology Applications for SMEs
PROJECT CONTEXT
The project's objective is to promote and support adoption of energy efficient practices and technologies in selected Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand for improved competitiveness and a greening of industry. The proposed project is designed around two substantive components and aims to create demand for low-carbon technologies through policy support, awareness raising activities and capacity building of government, financial institutions, industries, technical personnel, as well as the implementation of demonstration projects to encourage the adoption of such technologies in SMEs. These interventions will create an environment conducive to increased investment in low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency improvements by SMEs in Thailand. Until now, a targeted approach to catalyze investment in low-carbon technologies at the SME level of Thailand has not been implemented, and as a result potential savings have been missed. The proposed project’s unique approach will have large replication potential beyond the project implementation period and scope, and thus accelerate the Thai Government’s strategy for SME development towards achieving higher competitiveness in the global market.
The project aims to:
- Enhance the policy and regulatory framework through identification and improved understanding of existing gaps and barriers, resulting in key recommendations to develop enabling policies for Thai SMEs;
- Raise the awareness and understanding of benefits associated with the adoption of low-carbon technologies and relevant financing schemes through awareness campaigns, improved information dissemination and establishment of an Online Information and Learning Platform;
- Build the technical capacity on low-carbon technologies and EnMS of local technical experts, equipment and service providers, banking/financial institutions and industry;
- Increase adoption of low-carbon technologies and EnMS in SMEs by implementing demonstration projects in 30 factories in targeted sub-sectors (food and beverage, automotive, and ceramics).
