The workshop provided the public and private stakeholders with an overview of the analysis and assessment of potential policy and regulatory options, as well as monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in the nitric acid and caprolactam industry in Thailand. The participants openly discussed these policy options, which would – if implemented – lead to a permanent N2O abatement in said industries.
Several organisations related to the N2O abatement from Thailand’s nitric acid and caprolactam industry were represented, including the Department of Industrial Works, Thailand Board of Investment, Office of Industrial Economics, Revenue Department, Pollution Control Department, the public organisation Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation, private companies, and GIZ Thailand. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Jiravat Ratisoontorn, Deputy Secretary-General of ONEP.
