PTTEP preps carbon capture facilityListen to this articleThe Arthit gas block in the Gulf of Thailand, operated by PTTEP. PTT Exploration and Production Plc (PTTEP) is preparing to build Thailand's first carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility at its Arthit gas field this year, marking a major step in the country's efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reach its net-zero target. Chief executive Montri Rawanchaikul said the project, approved in September 2025, will be capable of capturing and storing up to 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. PTTEP's initiative is expected to accelerate Thailand's climate ambitions, as policymakers reset its net-zero target from 2065 to 2050. Once completed, the hub could store up to 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, while Thailand's current emissions total 320 tonnes per year.
