The Srivijaya Fair 2023 was held at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Trang Campus. The event showcased innovations and technologies in renewable energy aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting the BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) Economy concept. It also featured activities focused on enhancing knowledge for youth and local communities.
One of the main activities at the event was the “Smart PV Mobile,” a mobile solar-powered vehicle designed to educate youth on renewable energy use. This activity demonstrated a direct approach to reducing carbon emissions through the use of solar-powered vehicles. Additionally, it provided youth and attendees with hands-on experience with clean energy technology, inspiring the community to adopt environmentally friendly energy choices for the future.
Another highlight of the event was the “Smart Industrial to BCG Model” presentation, which introduced the BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) economy concept to local industries. The focus was on adopting sustainable production processes and systematic resource management. This activity aimed to show business owners the importance of reducing environmental impact through practices like reusing waste materials and using technology to lower greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative helped raise awareness in the community and industry sectors about efficient resource use and waste reduction.
Additionally, “Smart Engtech to Sustainable” was another activity promoting engineering technology research for sustainability. This activity provided an opportunity for researchers from the Faculty of Engineering to present their work on waste reduction and energy efficiency, focusing on studies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. This activity played a key role in helping the community and attendees understand the role of science and technology in mitigating environmental impacts.
Summary of the Role and Importance of Outreach and Engagement in Promoting Environmental Awareness and Sustainable Energy Use
The activities reflect Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya’s commitment to fostering collaboration with communities and local agencies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 13: Climate Action. This goal focuses on reducing the impact of climate change and promoting environmentally friendly energy use. The Srivijaya Fair and renewable energy lectures are concrete examples of applying science and technology in everyday life.
The university not only plays a role in innovating renewable energy and carbon reduction but also strives to be a community learning center, raising awareness and building knowledge for natural resource conservation. Additionally, it promotes community involvement in developing sustainable lifestyles by applying various eco-friendly innovations and methods. These activities not only enhance community understanding of sustainable energy and resource use but also encourage active participation in environmental conservation efforts.
