The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI)<\/strong><\/span> firmly supports the use of coal for electricity production, stating that renewable energy should not be the primary fuel source due to its instability. This is essential for continuous industrial production 24 hours a day.    
          Mr. Jan Namchaisiri, President of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI)<\/strong><\/span> revealed during a seminar titled "The Future of Thai Electricity: What to Do If We Don't Rely on Coal Power Plants"<\/strong><\/span>, organized by the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI), that he personally does not fully support the use of electricity from renewable energy, particularly solar energy, for industrial applications. This is because factories require electricity continuously for 24 hours, and such energy sources are currently unable to meet this demand due to their instability and high uncertainty, even with energy storage batteries in place.<\/p>

          <\/strong><\/span>"I confirm that Thailand still needs electricity from base load fuels (40-50%). The options for fuel in Thailand are limited. If we do not use coal, we will have to consider natural gas, which currently accounts for over 65% of our energy reliance. Moreover, one-third of this is imported, particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is dry and cannot be processed into raw materials for the petrochemical industry like domestically extracted gas," Mr. Jan stated.<\/p>
