On January 27, 2025, at UNISERV in Chiang Mai University, the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), represented by the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Chiang Mai University’s Multidisciplinary Research Institute (MDRI) and UNISERV. The signing ceremony signifies a collaborative effort to advance academic research on BioChar for innovations in carbon sequestration
The event was honored by the presence of Associate Professor Toemsak Srikhirin, Director of MTEC; Professor Emeritus Dr. Sanchai Jaturasitha, Director of MDRI; and Associate Professor Sate Sampattagul, Director of UNISERV. Together, they officially signed the MoU, reaffirming their commitment to advancing research on biochar derived from sorted wastes. This collaboration seeks to foster technological innovations that enhance biochar applications in both the industrial and agricultural sectors, ultimately contributing to Thailand’s goals for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
The "Kick Off Thai BioChar Consortium" workshop, held in the afternoon, was part of the event. This session provided a platform for researchers, experts, and partner institutions, including Maejo University and Kasetsart University, to share insights and discuss strategies for expanding the applications of biochar technology.
