The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) has secured a $100 million loan from the World Bank to support the development of low-carbon industrial hubs. This funding is part of a broader $200 million initiative focused on decarbonizing heavy industry and positioning Thailand in the global carbon credit market.

Pilot schemes at the Map Ta Phut and Laem Chabang industrial estates aim to cut 2.33 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, while also preparing Thai exporters for the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. The initiative involves collaboration with multiple national agencies and the World Bank to enhance green infrastructure.
