The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, through the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) or TGO, has awarded Walailak University a Certificate of Registration for its Solar Rooftop Leasing Project for the Center for Scientific and Technological Equipment Buildings at Walailak University. The project has been officially registered as a voluntary greenhouse gas reduction initiative under Thailand’s T-VER Standard (Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program) as of September 23, 2025, with an estimated annual reduction or removal of 1,585 tCO₂eq. The crediting period of the project spans from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2032.

The 2.54 MW project was developed under the T-VER Program, initiated by TGO to encourage participation from all sectors in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The resulting emission reductions are converted into carbon credits, which can be traded in the national voluntary carbon market.

The T-VER Program aims to promote participation in greenhouse gas reduction, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and support sustainable economic growth toward a low-carbon society. The project underwent a validation process by an accredited Validation and Verification Body (VVB)—an essential step to ensure that all project conditions comply with TGO requirements. This process also guarantees the accuracy and transparency of the reported greenhouse gas reduction data.

To strengthen the credibility of T-VER projects, TGO mandates that validation and verification be conducted at a reasonable level of assurance. The evaluation of greenhouse gas data, both qualitative and quantitative, must be free from significant errors, omissions, or misrepresentations, with a materiality threshold set at 5 percent.

Walailak University, through collaboration among the Center for Academic Services, the School of Engineering and Technology, the Division of Landscaping and Building, the Center for Scientific and Technological Equipment, and other related units, jointly implemented the project to generate clean energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. With an estimated reduction of approximately 1,585 tCO₂eq per year, this initiative marks another significant milestone in advancing the university toward becoming an environmentally conscious and sustainable institution, reaffirming Walailak University’s strong commitment to achieving carbon neutrality.
