Thailand has enjoyed strong economic growth and energy demand in recent years. But the energy landscape – both internally and externally – is changing fast. The world is transitioning into new technologies, with the increasing roles of renewable energy, battery storage and electric vehicles. What does this mean for Thailand, and its fast growing gas market? How should refiners and petrochemical players respond? And as the country embarks on a new, restructured upstream journey what opportunities will this bring?
The Bangkok Cross- Commodity Forum will explore these changing trends across the energy value chain and consider how investors should respond to the shifting dynamics. Join us as we debate the crucial issues affecting the Thai energy market.
