Program for reducing greenhouse gas in Scope 2

This program aims to reduce indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 2) resulting from the electricity purchased and used by the institution. It promotes energy efficiency across campus facilities through the implementation of smart electrical systems, optimized control of lighting and air conditioning, and the adoption of renewable energy sources.

Notably, Walailak University has installed a 2.54 MW rooftop solar photovoltaic system at the Center for Scientific and Technological Equipment, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1,585 tons of CO₂e per year. The project has been validated under the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER) and has received a Certificate of Recognition from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization).

In addition, the university has expanded the use of renewable energy through several initiatives, including Solar Energy for Car Parking, Solar-Powered Aerators, Solar Rooftop Systems at the Office Building of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, Rooftop Solar Panels at the Kla-Dee Building, Solar Lighting, a Biogas System, Wind Power, and a Biomass Energy Station.

By integrating efficient electricity management with diverse renewable energy systems, Walailak University continues to significantly reduce its carbon footprint while advancing toward its sustainability goals in alignment with international GHG accounting standards.
