Driving change: Training multipliers in Sustainable Chemistry and Power-to-Chemicals in Thailand

This training brought together a carefully selected group of professionals from key sectors—public policy, industry, academia, and international cooperation—creating a unique space where diverse perspectives, experiences, and priorities converged. This multi-sector composition not only enriched the dialogue, but also reflected the reality of the challenge: the transition toward sustainable chemistry requires coordinated action from multiple stakeholders.

The objective was clear: to train multipliers capable of accelerating the transformation of the chemical sector. To achieve this, the program combined technical content, strategic vision, and pedagogical tools that enable participants to replicate and adapt the knowledge in their own contexts.

Over the course of three days, key topics included:

• The role of the chemical industry in the energy transition
• The fundamentals and transformative potential of Power-to-Chemicals
• The role of green hydrogen and renewable carbon
• Applications such as green methanol, ammonia, and synthetic fuels
• Circular economy approaches and Sustainable Chemistry

Beyond the content itself, the value of the ToT lay in its participatory approach: open discussions, practical exercises, and peer-to-peer learning enabled not only knowledge transfer, but also the development of real capacities for action.

The result is a network of professionals prepared to act as catalysts for change, carrying with them not only technical knowledge, but also a shared vision of how to transform the chemical industry toward a more sustainable, resilient model aligned with global challenges.
