TTCL Public Company, a Thai engineering firm, has entered into a significant contract worth approximately THB1.2 billion (USD 32 million) with the US-based Monolith Company.
This deal focuses on the construction of a green hydrogen and ammonia pilot plant located in Laos. The plant will have a production capacity of about 4,000 tons per year. TTCL is tasked with the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) responsibilities for the project.
The Laos-based plant will utilize a carbon-free innovative technology known as methane pyrolysis. This technology enables the production of hydrogen without releasing carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. By leveraging this cutting-edge method, the plant will contribute to reducing carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy practices.
The project is expected to bring both economic and environmental advantages to Laos. It will create local job opportunities during construction and operation stages, while the use of green hydrogen can play a role in reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Moreover, the project’s success could position Laos as a leader in renewable energy within the Southeast Asia region.
