Bangchak was the first Asian company to come up with EURO 5-standard E20 gasohol with less than 10 ppm in sulphur content, a five-fold reduction from that under the Euro 4 standard. In addition, the refinery is highly energy-efficient, thanks to the purchase of power and steam from a cogeneration power plant (an investment by PTT Plc) and to the use of clean-burning natural gas to power its processes in place of low-sulfur fuel oil.

  • The Assessment of New Mining Projects in Thailand from the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering of the RWTH Aachen
    The Assessment of New Mining Projects in Thailand From the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering of the RWTH Aachen University Submitted by Kridtaya Sakamornsnguan - Master of Sciences from Bangkok, Thailand in respect of the academic degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences approved thesis Advisors: apl. Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Jürgen Kretschmann Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Wirt.Ing. Per Nicolai Martens Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Helmut Mischo Date of the oral examination: 21.07.2017 This thesis is available in electronic format on the university library’s website ii Abstract Mining is an anthropogenic activity that creates both positive and negative impacts on society and the environment. Governmental authorities play an important role in managing mining activities throughout a project's life cycle. The concession granting process is a common mechanism applied at the early stage of every mining project to regulate and balance the positive and negative results. Inefficient decision-making in this process can lead to short- and long-term problems with extensive negative impacts. Thus, governments need to evaluate and ensure that a new mining project is worth developing before approving it. This study develops an assessment framework that will provide information for the Thai government for a better decision-making performance in relation to the development of new mining projects. The development of this assessment framework is based on Buddhist principles, which are the foundation of Thai values and national policies. It will help identify and overcome the weaknesses of the current assessment approaches which are driven by an emphasis on self- interest and the influence of reductionism within the concept of sustainable development.
