Bangkok, Thailand, December 12, 2024 -- 
BIG, a climate technology company, and Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Company Limited, a global leader in power management and IoT-based smart green solutions today announced a strategic partnership with BIG to advance the decarbonization of Thailand's electronics industry. This collaboration introduces BIG's low-carbon nitrogen for the production of electronic components and parts (ITC), marking a significant milestone in sustainable manufacturing.
For the first time in Thailand, low-carbon industrial gas will be utilized in electronics production, setting a new industry standard for reducing emissions and enhancing environmental responsibility. This initiative reflects the shared vision of Delta Electronics Thailand and BIG to create innovative, sustainable solutions that address the pressing challenges of climate change.
A Significant Step Towards Carbon Neutrality
This collaboration between BIG and Delta is a significant milestone for Thailand's electronics industry in accelerating its journey towards carbon neutrality. BIG's low-carbon nitrogen, produced through environmentally friendly processes, will enable Delta Thailand to significantly reduce its Scope 3 carbon dioxide emissions, bringing both companies closer to their Net Zero targets.
Delta Thailand's inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for three consecutive years in the Electronics, Electrical Equipment, Components and Parts industry and its inclusion in the DJSI World reflect the company's commitment to sustainable business practices. This partnership with BIG further reinforces this commitment and represents another important step in building a sustainable future for the electronics industry.
BIG Drives Industrial Decarbonization
Mr. Piyabut Charuphen, Managing Director of BIG, further emphasized that both Delta and Air Products, BIG's parent company in the United States, have been selected for the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), reflecting the companies' shared commitment to sustainable business practices, particularly in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The introduction of BIG's low-carbon nitrogen into the electronics industry marks a significant step aligned with this goal and reinforces BIG's position as a leader in innovation and environmental technology for Thailand's industries.
The adoption of BIG's low-carbon nitrogen, certified by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) or TGO, not only reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 50% compared to conventional nitrogen but also effectively reduces Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. This enhances the production efficiency and product quality of Delta Electronics, aligning with BIG's "Generating a Cleaner Future" strategy, which focuses on creating a sustainable future through the application of Climate Technology and innovation to achieve the common goal of Net Zero in 2065.
Delta is committed to sustainable manufacturing
Mr. Jackie Chang Chief Operating Officer & President of Delta Electronics Thailand stated “Partnering with BIG to adopt sustainably produced low-carbon nitrogen marks a significant step toward decarbonizing our operations and complements our mission to transition to green supply chain and Net Zero by 2050. As a leader in Thailand’s electronics industry, we have been actively integrating the Delta Smart Manufacturing (DSM) solution to achieve Industry 4.0 standards. This partnership is particularly timely as we continue to expand and enhance our production capacity through sustainable practices, including initiatives like DSM and the use of sustainably sourced materials.”

Questions around this news
What is the partnership between BIG and Delta Electronics Thailand intended to do?
The companies say they will use low-carbon nitrogen in the production of electronic components and parts at Delta Electronics Thailand. The release describes the partnership as a step toward decarbonizing manufacturing and says the nitrogen is intended to reduce emissions associated with Delta’s operations and supply chain.
What are Scope 3 emissions?
Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with an organization’s value chain, rather than emissions from sources it owns or directly controls. They can arise both upstream and downstream, including from purchased goods and services, transportation, product use, and disposal.
How much does the release say low-carbon nitrogen reduces emissions?
The release says the nitrogen is certified by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 50% compared with conventional nitrogen. It also says its use can reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, but it does not provide a separate figure for that reduction.
What does Industry 4.0 mean in manufacturing?
Industry 4.0 refers to the use of connected digital technologies in manufacturing, such as sensors, data analytics, automation, and networked equipment. These tools can help factories monitor processes, coordinate machines, and make production more responsive and efficient.
