PM discusses green fuel, investment with Airbus execs
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul met Airbus executives on Friday to discuss the expansion of investment and technology transfer in Thailand and the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using Thai agricultural products.
In a meeting at Government House on Friday, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul discussed investing and technology transfer with Airbus executives Wouter van Wersch and Bert Porteman. The conversation centered on expanding cooperation in aviation, space technology, human resources development, and clean energy. Both parties aimed to strengthen Thailand's capabilities in these areas, with a focus on the aviation industry and the establishment of a Centre of Excellence in Thailand.
The prime minister emphasized the government's commitment to promoting the aviation industry and other future industries, praising Airbus for its existing cooperation in job creation, skills development, and support for Thailand's aviation sector. The PM suggested that Airbus consider expanding its existing cooperation and adapting successful models from other countries to further benefit from their global knowledge, technology, and networks.
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation, the PM proposed that Airbus support the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced in Thailand using agricultural materials. This would help generate new markets, increase the value of agricultural products, and provide additional income for Thai farmers. The PM also proposed expanding cooperation beyond aviation to include technology and knowledge transfers, as well as human resources development in space and related technologies.
