Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods) has transformed its layer chicken complex in Chanthaburi province into its first fully renewable energy (RE100) farm. By harnessing both biogas and solar energy on-site, the company is advancing its goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
In response to climate change, CP Foods is accelerating its shift to renewable energy across all stages of production—Feed, Farm, and Food—under its Agri-Tech strategy. The RE100 initiative forms a cornerstone of the company’s sustainable development roadmap, designed to ensure long-term energy resilience while minimising environmental impact.
Previously, the Chanthaburi complex operated on approximately 80% renewable energy, powered by biogas generated from chicken manure. With the integration of rooftop solar panels and enhanced biogas optimisation, the facility now operates on 100% renewable energy. This milestone earned CP Foods its first “RE100 Farm” certification from LRQA (Thailand), establishing the site as a model for green farming. The transformation embodies the “Waste to Value” concept, turning agricultural waste into clean energy and eliminating external pollution.
Somkid Wannalukkhee, Head of the Egg Business at CP Foods, emphasised the company’s commitment to sustainable farming practices and innovation as key drivers toward a net-zero future.
