Mr. Somkid Wannalukkee, Chief Executive Officer, Egg Business, CPF, revealed that CPF is committed to sustainable business growth based on social and environmental responsibility. The success that has made the "Chanthaburi Egg Laying Farm Complex" a model farm using clean energy is not only about technology or investment in clean energy, but also about applying the "Waste to Value" concept, transforming waste into useful and added value. Chicken manure is used to generate electricity for farm use, enhancing energy management efficiency in the production process and reducing reliance on external electricity.

CPF developed a biogas production system from chicken manure at the egg laying farm complex to generate electricity for the farm and egg sorting process. Solar panels and an intelligent Energy Management System (EMS) were also installed to manage the use of biogas and solar energy in the production process efficiently, effectively, and stably 24 hours a day. As a result, the Chanthaburi Egg Laying Farm Complex is the first egg laying farm to use 100% renewable energy (Renewable Energy Farm: RE 100), without relying on external electricity. This allows the farm to save on energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Supporting the organization's goals of carbon neutrality by 2030 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

"Promoting renewable energy is one of CPF's approaches to reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The Thailand Energy Awards prove that the Chanthaburi Egg Laying Chicken Complex is a key model in driving the agro-industry forward and a significant step in bringing clean energy innovations to support an environmentally friendly food production system," said Mr. Somkid.

This approach led to the Chanthaburi Egg Laying Chicken Complex receiving the Thailand Energy Awards 2025 from the Ministry of Energy. Mr. Somkid Wannalukkee, Chief Executive Officer of the Egg Laying Chicken Business, CPF, accepted the award from Mr. Attapol Rerkpipibul, Minister of Energy, reflecting the role of the private sector in driving the use of clean energy in the country's food production. Prior to this, the Chanthaburi Egg Laying Chicken Complex was selected by the Ministry of Energy to represent Thailand in receiving a regional ASEAN award at the ASEAN Best Practices for Renewable Energy conference, held under the framework of the ASEAN Energy Ministers' Meeting. This is another example of driving renewable energy with innovation and technology in the food production sector, meeting consumer demand. While simultaneously creating social and environmental value.
