To promote low-carbon travel, Thailand and Japan does co-launch a fresh premium-grade diesel.
H-Fame, a premium biodiesel that lowers the rate of engine wear and is suitable for trucks, has been introduced by Thailand’s National Energy Technology Center ( ENTEC ) and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization ( NEDO ).
With the assistance of the Japan Science and Technology Agency ( JST ) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency ( JICA ), H-Fame biodiesel was created in 2017.
Sumittra Charojrochkul, ENTEC executive chairman, stated that the item has been thoroughly tested and is now ready for mass production.
Efficiency of true H-Fame is comparable to that of B7, a typical fuel, and it emits less particulate matter.
She claimed that the tests were carried out on a number of different types of cars, including a four-wheel vehicle traveling a distance of 10,000 kilometers, a big truck, and a forklift truck.
According to Yuji Yoshimura, a senior director at ENTEC, the cost of an H-Fame may drop as low as 1 baht per gallon while its level of greenhouse gas emissions is 47 % lower than usual.
The H-Fame advanced diesel is a novel, high-efficiency solution for the transportation industry, according to Nuwong Chollacoop, head of the ENTEC’s Low Carbon Energy Research Group.
H-Fame aims to assist businesses in adhering to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ( CBAM ) of the European Union while supporting Thailand in meeting its carbon neutrality goal by 2050 and achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065.
