Background
According to Indorama Ventures' 2012 sustainability report, TPT Petrochemicals owns and operates a 55 MW coal-fired power plant (and "generates other utilities at the same site").[1] The plant is located in Rayong, Thailand.[2]
Indorama Polyester Industries’ polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin facility is located in Map Ta Phut, Rayong Province, adjacent to the National Petrochemical Complex. The plant is virtually back-integrated with the TPT Petrochemicals’ purified terephthalic acid (PTA) facility and is supported by an adjacent 55 MW cogeneration operated by TPT Petrochemicals. The PET resin line serves the PET preform market for carbonated soft drinks, water, and other applications.[3]
The coal plant reportedly began operating in 1995.[4][5]
Indorama's 2022-23 Annual Report stated that the coal-fired power station was co-firing with rice husk and nutshells.[6]
