Eastern Energy Plus Strengthens Environmental Management
Restores Over 159 Rai into Clean Water Resources While Reducing CO₂ Emissions
Samut Prakan, Thailand — Eastern Energy Plus Co., Ltd. (“Eastern Energy Plus”) continues to advance sustainable environmental management through the rehabilitation of more than 159 rai of land surrounding its landfill facilities. The restored area has been successfully transformed into clean water resources that support aquaculture and agricultural activities, demonstrating tangible ecosystem restoration and responsible resource use.
Since 2019, following a management restructuring led by Mr. Abinash Majhi, CEO of Eastern Energy Plus, the Company has accelerated the adoption of advanced environmental technologies to ensure harmonious coexistence with surrounding communities.
Key initiatives include the deployment of an E-Nose (Electronic Nose) system for real-time odor monitoring, operating 24 hours a day. In 2024, the system was expanded to four monitoring stations aligned with seasonal wind patterns, enabling effective odor prediction and mitigation. Odor intensity, previously measured at 15–20 Odor Units (OU) during certain periods, is now managed under an internal target of 4 OU, with controls ensuring levels do not exceed 6 OU on a 60-minute average.
The Company has also invested in advanced wastewater treatment using Ultra Filter Membrane and biological treatment processes, achieving treated water quality with BOD below 20 mg/L and COD below 120 mg/L, suitable for reuse within operations. Treatment sludge is converted into a soil conditioner for on-site landscaping, eliminating the need for chemical fertilizers and supporting circular resource management.
Through its waste-to-energy operations, Eastern Energy Plus has achieved avoided greenhouse gas emissions of up to 1.32 tCO₂e per MWh of electricity exported, equivalent to approximately 49,606 tCO₂e annually. In addition, engineered landfill operations have reduced carbon footprint by more than 25% per year, corresponding to an estimated 200,000 tCO₂e reduction annually, compared with conventional landfill practices. These results are independently verified in collaboration with the Joint Graduate School of Energy and Environment, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi.
Eastern Energy Plus remains committed to strong governance, environmental responsibility, and active community engagement, particularly with communities surrounding the Phraeksa Mai Waste Management Center, to foster long-term trust and sustainability.
