Seminar on cleaner energy

The British Embassy and the UK Climate Change Projects Office will co-host a seminar entitled "Technology and Finance for CDM Projects in Thailand" to raise public awareness of both alternative energy and renewable energy.

The seminar on the clean development mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol will be held at the Nai Lert Park Hotel in Bangkok on Monday from 8am to 4pm.

The seminar will provide a forum for eight British experts involved in CDM projects and the subsequent delivery of carbon credits to share their experiences and the application of best practice with Thai counterparts.

During the seminar, the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Organisation, a newly established organisation, will also lecture on CDM implementation in Thailand.

For more information on the seminar, contact the commercial section of the British Embassy at 02-305 8228 or 8257.
