Congratulations to Mr Kanthaphan Punnaanan, our lab member, on receiving the Best Oral Presentation Award at the 34th Thai Institution of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry International Conference (TIChE2025) for his presentation on “Techno-Economic Analysis of Ulva spp. Cultivation for Capturing CO₂ Emissions from Natural Gas Power Plants in Thailand.”
This research was conducted under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Dr Pichaya Inna, Assoc. Prof. Dr Kasidit Noothong, and Dr Christopher Dickson.
Research Highlight:
The study explores seaweed cultivation systems (Ulva spp.) as a high-potential biological approach for carbon capture in Thailand’s energy sector. Through detailed techno-economic analysis, the research identifies optimal cultivation parameters that maximise both carbon capture efficiency and economic feasibility.
This work provides a practical pathway for implementing sustainable carbon capture technologies in Thailand, offering an innovative solution to mitigate emissions from natural gas power plants. At the same time, the system generates valuable biomass as a by-product, supporting Thailand’s mission to achieve environmental sustainability and carbon reduction goals through bio-innovation.
