Challenges, Risks,

and Impacts

Climate change is a critical global concern, evident in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 13: Climate Action) and regularly addressed at the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP). 

Thailand is committed to achieving the long-term goal of Net Zero GHG Emissions by 2065. This commitment is accelerating efforts for both public and private sectors to manage greenhouse gas emissions more effectively through the drafting of the National Climate Change Act, or Global Warming Act, which will take effect soon. Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on national clean energy production and utilization to respond to the forthcoming changes in consumption patterns and stakeholder expectations in the energy sector. Thaioil Group has recognized these challenges and considers them as risks and opportunities for the Company to determine the most effective targets and long-term strategies.

Commitments and Targets

The Board of Directors and executive management of Thaioil Group and its subsidiaries have acknowledged the importance of steering future business towards a clean energy business and a low-carbon society. The Company has established a policy in alignment with the Paris Agreement and Thailand’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

The Company focuses on feasibility studies of new businesses, including high-value environmentally friendly products and process optimization for maximum efficiency. Moreover, the Company has determined tangible strategies and established long-term targets in line with national commitments.

The Transition Scenario Analysis

Climate Strategy

Thaioil Group defines the Net Zero GHG Emissions Strategy, known as the 3Cs strategies, with the details as follows:

Operational Approach and 2023 Progress for 3Cs Strategy

Participation in trade associations to drive change

Thaioil Group collaborates with PTT Group, a leading energy company in Thailand, to study and brainstorm government laws and policies supporting Net Zero GHG Emissions under the PTT Group Net Zero Task Force (PTT G-NET) working team.

This working team consists of several sub-working groups to jointly study, advocate, and propose operational approaches to achieve the target. The approaches include Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source, increasing production potential by utilizing renewable energy to replace fossil fuels, and engaging in reforestation initiatives for the benefits of carbon credits.

Furthermore, Thaioil Group has been a member of Thailand Carbon Neutral Network (TCNN) since 2021, aiming to actively engage in public policy regarding climate change. TCNN operates under the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) with the objective of creating a network among public and private sectors to advocate for public policies that support the Carbon Neutrality and Net Zero goal in Thailand’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Thaioil Group consistently reviews and monitors TCNN’s objectives related to climate movement regularly to ensure that Thaioil Group’s climate position and net zero commitment are aligned with TCNN. In case of any misalignment between TCNN and Thaioil Group’s position in climate change policy, the Company may reconsider its membership.

Climate-related Risk and Opportunity Management

Thaioil Group has evaluated the resilience of the Net Zero GHG Emissions Strategy through a scenario analysis, as well as the business impacts of each climate change scenario. The analysis of climate-related risks and opportunities was assessed for the years 2030, 2040, and 2050. According to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendation, the analysis was conducted in 2 scenarios compared with the baseline scenario as described below:

The Transition Scenario Analysis

Thaioil Group assessed climate-related risks and opportunities by considering 4 factors, namely: regulatory; technological; market; and reputational. The two scenarios were assessed for the years 2030, 2040, and 2050 across the value chain, from upstream to downstream, as follows:

Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS)

This scenario represents a pathway that considers the current policies and targets announced by governments in alignment with the Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement.

Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS)

This scenario represents a “well below 2°C” pathway achieved through transitioning into a low-carbon economy and meeting all current net zero pledges of the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Climate-related risks and opportunities by considering 4 factors

Regulatory Risk

Risk and Opportunity

Thailand’s commitment to GHG emission reduction at the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the factor that may affect current business operations and future investments. This may pose risks for production cost of Thaioil Group once new laws and regulations are enforced to drive the country towards net zero goals.
For example, the Draft of National Climate Change Act or Global Warming Act requires GHG emissions disclosure and actions toward national GHG emissions reduction target. Meanwhile, economic mechanisms, such as carbon taxes, and emission trading schemes, may be applied in the near future.

Besides, carbon pricing can pose a risk in upstream operation. Particularly, in the case that the origin country of crude oil suppliers mandates the carbon price. This could result in an increase of the Company’s raw material costs. In downstream operations, likewise, the risks of carbon pricing can be posed by the execution of the EU’s Carbon Boarder Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This may impact the prices of some petrochemical products of the Company that is exported in the European market.

With these situations, the oil industry business might face challenges in adaptation. Also, the Company may encounter the risks on higher costs and long-term shift towards clean energy. However, the government initiatives present opportunities for the Thaioil Group to formulate its business strategy. For instance, if the government advocates or offers incentives for investing in clean energy ventures, such as hydrogen production or sustainable aviation fuel, it could facilitate Thaioil Group’s adaptation to change its business landscape.

Mitigation Measures

Financial Impact Assessment

More details of financial impact assessment for the Transition Scenario Analysis

Key Risks

  1. Impact of carbon pricing: This results from the release of carbon dioxide equivalents emissions from the Company’s production processes. The scenario analysis has been conducted under the assumption that Thailand adopts the GHG Emission Trading Scheme (ETS), and the control capacity is referred to the volume of GHG emission by Thaioil Group for the year 2023. References to carbon prices for the years 2030 and 2050 in the Asian regions are based on the IEA World Energy Outlook 2021. 
  2. Impact of declining demands on the Company’s products from the shift to use alternative energy (Downstream): These results are based on the demands for oil products in ASEAN, referencing the IEA World Energy Outlook 2021.
  3. Impact of carbon pricing from the increasing crude oil price by crude oil suppliers (Upstream): These results are based on the assumption the crude oil suppliers are affected by carbon taxes and pass on the costs to the Company’s cost at 100%. 

The Physical Scenario Analysis

Thaioil Group assessed physical risks of both acute and chronic impacts from rising global temperature. The scenario analysis has been conducted for the years 2030, 2040, 2050 across supply chain, from upstream to downstream. Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), an internationally recognized climate model of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has been applied in two scenarios as follows:

The RCP 2.6 scenario represents a stringent greenhouse gas reduction measure.

The RCP 8.5 scenario represents a rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate-related risks and opportunities by considering 2 factors

Water Scarcity

Risk

The most significant physical risk of Thaioil Group is water scarcity in the production process and investments in expansion projects, such as the Clean Fuel Project (CFP) and other future projects.
The water scarcity risk is classified as chronic impact because it is caused by the climate change that accelerate the water shortage and the economic expansion that increase water consumption demands, particularly in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), located in Eastern Region of Thailand. Thaioil Group recognizes the importance of being prepared to manage such risks to its operations, production, environment, and communities.
Thaioil Group has monitored and predicted water scarcity risks through water risk assessment, scenario analysis, and sensitivity analysis in situations where there are water shortages at various proportions within the production processes. The Enterprise Risk team regularly works together with Thaioil Group Water Management Working Committee to monitor such risks. The WRI Aqueduct Water Tools, an internationally recognized tool developed by the World Resource Institute, were adopted in the working processes. The Company also built a water management network with both government and non-government agencies, such as the PTT Group Water Committee in the Eastern region, Keyman Water War Room, and the Institute of Water and Environment for Sustainability (established under the Federation of Thai Industries), to create comprehensive water management and determine proactive measures. This helps reducing the potential risks in the production process and community as well as managing the risks in a timely manner.

Mitigation Measures

To balance between business interests and stakeholders’ expectations, Thaioil Group has agreed with government agencies to give importance to the community as the first priority during water shortages. This is to ensure the surrounding communities have adequate water irrigation for agriculture and consumption for their daily needs before any allocation to Thaioil Group. Furthermore, Thaioil Group has established a “Long-term Water Supply Strategy 2023–2033” to ensure water security and reduce the risk of water scarcity that may impact both business operations and future expansion projects. Thaioil Group’s water management is summarized as follows:

At the present, Thaioil Group uses two types of water. The seawater is processed to freshwater through the Thermal Desalination unit. The raw water is sourced from two different water distributors namely the Bang Phra Reservoir, which is operated by the Royal Irrigation Department, and the Nong Kho Reservoir, which is operated by the Eastern Water Resources Development and Management Public Company Limited. Both water distributors operate integrated water systems alongside Thaioil Group through aligning practices with government policies or the local context of shared water use in the area. This is to ensure adequate water supply within Thaioil Group’s production processes, such as the cooling tower system, demineralization for steam production, and other production processes. The Company consistently improves and monitors water quality to exceed the required standards before discharging into the environment. To further minimize the impacts on the ecosystem, the circular economy and 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principles are adopted in water management to maximize the utilization efficiency.

There are ongoing feasibility study projects under the “Long-term Water Supply Strategy 2023–2033” as follows:

1. A study project on installing additional desalination units from six existing units. This project aims to increase the proportion of water consumption from seawater, which is considered an unlimited natural resource, to replace freshwater consumption, which is considered a limited natural resource.
2. A study project on the recycled wastewater from the water treatment plant.
3. A study project on reverse osmosis system for recycling wastewater.
4. A study project on Pattaya wastewater recycle to reuse wastewater in the urban communities.

Moreover, under construction project is as follows:

A raw water utilization project from the private pond

which has a high potential without any impacts on the water consumption of communities and farmers. This project aims to maximize resource consumption, diversify water supply management, and minimize water scarcity risks. Currently, the Company has already signed a contract to purchase raw water from the private sector, and it is under construction for a raw water delivery system along with a quality control system using Reverse Osmosis (RO). The project is expected to be completed and deliver water to Thai Oil Group by 2026.

Financial Impact Assessment

More details of financial impact assessment for the Physical Scenario Analysis

Key Risk

  1. Impact of water shortage: In case that the government sector reduces water supply to the Company by 10%, the Company must align its investments with the Long-term Water Supply Strategy. The Company is required to consider increasing the volume of freshwater from private sources and freshwater production from seawater by the Thermal Desalination Unit. Additionally, the Company needs to prepare the water reservation plan in appropriate areas to provide adequate water in the production process. However, these measures could increase production cost. 
  2. Impact of offshore cyclone events: The Company’s revenue could decline from the cyclone event, particularly in the case that the Company is unable to deliver the products through marine freight during the offshore cyclone event. Also, pre and post-cyclone events could disrupt the production process. In the pre-cyclone event, the Company must ensure worker safety and prevent damage to machinery and equipment. In the post-cyclone event, workplace inspections need to be conducted before operating the business as usual.

2023

Performances

To achieve Thaioil Group’s Net Zero GHG Emissions target, the Company has implemented projects to reduce the direct GHG emissions in the production process. The performance of Thaioil Group in 2023 is outlined as follows:

Reduction of Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Scope 1)

(Scope 1)

Thaioil Group has implemented 23 Energy Efficiency Improvement (EE) projects. Key initiatives include the project to enhance power production efficiency by optimizing GHG utilization for Gas Turbines at TOP SPP Co., Ltd., and the project to optimize energy consumption by operating all Sulfur Recovery Units. These initiatives have resulted in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by more than 36,115 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). Consequently, the Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emission Intensity stood at 0.0316tons per million barrels of crude oil equivalent (MBOE), which is lower than the set target of 0.0354 tons per MBOE.

In addition, Thaioil Group has implemented renewable energy projects to support the greenhouse gas reduction goals and the national emission reduction targets. This includes the expansion of the Cogeneration Power Plant in Si Racha District, Chonburi Province, operated by TOP SPP Co., Ltd., which increased its capacity from 239 megawatts to 354 megawatts.

Moreover, the aforementioned greenhouse gas management has successfully controlled methane emissions within the specified targets, as the majority of Thaioil Group’s methane emissions originate from the same sources as its greenhouse gas emissions.

For the year 2025, Thaioil Group has received the following certifications and awards for its greenhouse gas emission reductions:

  • Climate Action Excellence Awards 2025: Thai Oil Public Company Limited received the Climate Action Excellence Award, the highest distinction within the Climate Change Awards, from the Climate Change Institute of the Federation of Thai Industries. This recognizes Thaioil Group as a leader in concrete, multidimensional climate management and its efforts in driving the expansion toward a Low Carbon Society.
  • T-VER Project Extension and Capacity Expansion: TOP SPP Co., Ltd. Has extended and expanded the scope of its T-VER project at the Si Racha Cogeneration Power Plant from 239 MW to 354 MW.

This plaque from the Royal Forest Department recognizes the Group’s support in planting and restoring 8,300 rai of forest in Phrae Province for both conservation and carbon credit benefits.

 

The Thai Oil Group has set long-term, medium-term, and annual targets. The annual targets are evaluated based on the energy consumption of the business plan for each year. Through the implementation of energy efficiency improvement projects in the production process in 2025, the Thai Oil Group is expected to achieve its greenhouse gas emissions target for Scope 1, as outlined, as follows:

Furthermore, Thaioil Group has implemented renewable energy projects to support the GHG reduction of Thaioil Group and the national GHG emissions reduction targets. The completed activities are outlined as follows:

Reduction of Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Scope 2)

Thaioil Group has indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2) from the purchased electricity with the total of 34,628 tons carbon dioxide equivalents (tCO2e) or 1.06% of greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2), which meets the target for greenhouse gas emissions under Scope 2, set at no more than 60,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. 

            Furthermore, Thaioil Group has implemented energy efficiency improvement projects through the use of renewable energy. This includes the utilization of electricity generated from solar rooftop systems installed at the Sattiwat Wirun Building, the Thaioil Auditorium, Parking Building 2 (in front of the laboratory), and the Engineering Office Building.

Reduction of Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Scope 3)

In 2025, Thaioil Group’s Other Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Scope 3) within the value chain totaled 42,607,525 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), successfully achieving the set target of less than 50,000,000 tCO2e. This performance was driven by the following key initiatives as follow:

Supported green procurement of environmentally friendly products and services from suppliers, achieving 99%, which was higher than the 97% target. The Company planned to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as leasing electric vehicles (EVs) for use at the Bangkok and Si Racha offices and replacing conventional light bulbs with LEDs.

Studied and created opportunities to increase the value of waste disposed to landfill. The 3Rs method was adopted to control and reduce GHG emissions. In 2025, Thaioil Group successfully maintained zero waste to landfill performance against the set target.

Conducted product study and development projects to prepare for the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC).

Sold low-carbon products to reduce downstream greenhouse gas emissions for consumers, including biodiesel, gasohol, bioethanol, Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB), Heavy Alkyl Benzene (HAB), Keen cleaning products, clean rubber oil, low-sulfur fuel oil with a sulfur content not exceeding 0.5%, and benzene-free solvents.

In addition, Thaioil aims to provide low-carbon products to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from both its production processes and end users. Although the Company is not subject to EU regulatory reporting requirements, and Thailand’s Taxonomy (Phase 1) currently applies only to the energy and transportation sectors – with other sectors, including manufacturing, still under review, Thaioil Group has voluntarily adopted the EU Taxonomy’s environmental objectives as a framework to identify and classify the Company’s green products.

In 2025, Thaioil Group had 5 environmentally friendly product categories, and 9 types of products that contribute to climate change mitigation in alignment with the objectives of the EU Taxonomy Framework as follows:
