Double A (1991) Public Company Limited, a leading producer of pulp and paper with exports to over 145 countries worldwide, has announced its successful adoption of low-carbon oxygen from BIG, a leader in industrial gas and greenhouse gas emission reduction technology, in its pulp production process. This marks the first low-carbon applications in Thailand’s paper industry, contributing to greenhouse gas emission reduction and underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainable business practices towards achieving Net Zero. Consumers can be assured that Double A’s paper products are manufactured with environmental consciousness.
The low-carbon oxygen from BIG is an innovative product derived from an air separation process that reduces carbon dioxide emissions compared to conventional production methods. It has received certification from the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) or TGO, aligning with the policies of both companies that are committed to minimizing environmental impact and achieving Net Zero.
Mr. Chanwit Jarusombat, Executive Vice President of Double A (1991) Public Company Limited, stated “This is a new dimension for the paper industry, where Double A has partnered with BIG to introduce low-carbon oxygen, an environmental innovation, into our pulp production process, which plays a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This aligns with Double A’s sustainable business policy, which, in addition to producing high-quality products that are recognized by consumers worldwide, is also committed to environmental and social care, particularly in moving towards the Net Zero target by using Low-Carbon Oxygen to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the supply chain. In addition, Double A is ready to support Thailand in moving towards the Carbon Neutrality and Net Zero Emission goals. In 2023, Double A achieved its short-term goals faster and better than expected, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 48% from the base year assessed, and the next challenging goal is to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2040 and Net Zero by 2050, which is faster than the country’s target set in 2065.
We are confident that this collaboration with BIG will serve as a good model for the Thai paper industry to turn to cleaner energy and more environmentally friendly technologies, reinforcing our position as a low-carbon organization and enhancing the competitiveness of Thai businesses on the global stage, jointly creating growth in all dimensions on a sustainable green society.”
Mr. Piyabut Charuphen, Managing Director of BIG, added “BIG is driving the Thai industry towards sustainability. BIG’s low-carbon gas products have been certified by the TGO that BIG’s industrial gas production process significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions, ensuring that low-carbon industrial gases from BIG, whether oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen, etc., will contribute to reducing indirect greenhouse gas emissions for the factories that choose to use them, as well as increasing their competitiveness in the global market. Double A’s pioneering of the Thai paper industry in using low-carbon oxygen from BIG reflects the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in all dimensions of Double A and underscores BIG’s commitment to developing innovations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the Thai industrial sector under the Generating a Cleaner Future strategy. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the use of low-carbon industrial gas products from BIG also helps operators to increase production efficiency, reduce costs and create a positive image for their products, which is in line with the needs of today’s consumers who are increasingly focused on environmentally friendly products.”
