PTT Public Company Limited, Thailand’s energy company, and BIG, Thailand’s Low-Carbon Industrial Gas Company, have signed an agreement to jointly develop a new Air Separation Unit (ASU) project, named MAP2. Located in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Rayong Province, this facility will utilize cold energy from the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) regasification process in its industrial gas production. This project builds upon the success of the MAP1 project, which has significantly driven industries towards Net Zero goals. Construction of the MAP2 ASU project is set to commence in Q1 2026.
The MAP2 Air Separation Unit project reflects the commitment of both organizations to drive Thailand towards a low-carbon society. It will employ advanced and environmentally friendly industrial gas production technology by maximizing the utilization of cold energy from the LNG receiving and regasification process. This will significantly reduce energy consumption, lower production costs, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
The MAP2 Air Separation Unit project will serve as another key mechanism to support various Thai industries, such as petrochemical, metal, automotive, electronics, and food, by providing access to high-quality, low-carbon industrial gases produced through carbon-reduction processes. This is a crucial global trend. Both PTT and BIG are committed to working closely together to ensure the successful completion of the MAP2 project as planned, contributing to the sustainable growth of the country’s economy based on environmental technology and innovation.
