JGSEE, KMUTT, and IBG-2, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany hosted a workshop on “Agri-Photovoltaic Technology: Status and Business Opportunities” to support the sustainable agriculture and achieve KMUTT’s net-zero carbon emissions goals by 2040.
Date: April 24, 2024
Venue: Grand Ballroom, 3rd Floor, Century Park Hotel, Bangkok
On April 24, 2024, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) by the Joint Graduate School of Energy and Environment (JGSEE) and the Institute of Bio-and Geosciences Plant Sciences: IBG-2, Forschungzentrum Jülich Research Center, Federal Republic of Germany, together with the Development Office National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) under the support of the company PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited or PTTEP organized a workshop on “Integrating solar cell energy technology for agriculture and business opportunities. (Agri-Photovoltaic Technology Status and business Opportunities)” supports sustainable agriculture according to the goal of reducing carbon emissions to zero. The objective is to develop partnerships with institutions and individuals with expertise in integrating solar photovoltaic energy technology for agriculture (Agri-PV) and to discuss joint research. and develop a network of cooperation between domestic and foreign agencies, including the industrial sector. To be able to expand the scope to a group of researchers and users more broadly. In this regard, the President of KMUTT and Dr. Thorsten Clausing, Ambassador Advisor for Science and Technology Cooperation The German Embassy in Thailand and Singapore was honored to give opening remarks at the event. with faculty and researchers from both departments and those who are interested Participate in activities There were interesting lectures on the use of solar cell energy technology for sustainable agriculture. As well as business opportunities that can be expanded from sustainable agriculture using solar cell energy technology. by experts from KMUTT, IBG-2 and related agencies Department of Alternative Energy Development and Energy Efficiency Ministry of Energy Lecture on the topic “Renewable Energy for Green Future: Vision, Policy, and National Plan” KMUTT University Advisor lectures on the topic “Lesson learned: Photovoltaic Practices for Green and Inclusive Agriculture and Life” Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schurr from the research center IBG-2, Jülich, lecture on the topic “Introduction to principles for Agri-Photovoltaik (Agri-PV)” Dr. Matthias Meier from IBG-2 Research Center, Jülich lectures on “System designs and technology implementation for Agri-PV” Dr. Onno Muller from IBG-2 Research Center, Jülich Lectures on “Crop Growth under Agri-PV systems” and “Business perspective on Agri-PV” were given by Prof. Dr. Sandra Venghaus from the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK-STE), Jülich and Ms. Chantal Kierdorf from the Institute. of Energy and Climate Research (IEK-STE) and Research Center IBG-2, Jülich
There will also be a small exhibition at the event. that gives knowledge and tells the story of integrated sustainable farming methods combined with the use of solar cell energy technology. As well as providing advice for those interested in technology and related innovations.
