Bangkok (6 March 2025) – TCP Group, the manufacturer and distributor of Kratingdaeng (Red Bull), Ready, Som Plus, Sponsor, Mansome, Hi!, Puriku, Sunsnack, and Warrior, has partnered with BIG, A Climate Tech Company, to implement low-carbon nitrogen in TCP’s production processes. This initiative marks a significant step toward achieving net-zero emissions and promoting sustainability within the beverage industry. It applies to Krating Daeng (Red Bull) energy drinks, Sponsor sports drinks, Mansome functional drinks, and Sunsnack, a Thai snack brand, all of which will utilize low-carbon nitrogen produced through a reduced-electricity process. This Low-Carbon Nitrogen provided by BIG, reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 50% compared to conventional nitrogen production, significantly decreasing TCP’s environmental footprint.
A Significant Step Towards Sustainability
This collaboration aligns with TCP Group’s commitment to sustainable business practices by minimizing its environmental and climate impact. By choosing low-carbon nitrogen for its popular beverage and snack products, TCP is not only reducing its own carbon footprint but also setting a new environmental standard for Thailand’s food and beverage industry. BIG’s low-carbon nitrogen is certified by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) (TGO) to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 50% compared to conventional nitrogen production. The use of low-carbon nitrogen from BIG will contribute to the reduction of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, which are indirect emissions from production processes. This aligns with both companies’ policies to minimize environmental impact and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
TCP Group Aims for Sustainable Production and Net Zero
Mr. Saravoot Yoovidhya, Chief Executive Officer of TCP Group, said “At TCP Group, we are committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We have already reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by over 10% and now use more than 80% renewable energy.

As a House of Great Brands, TCP is transforming its manufacturing processes by adopting Smart Manufacturing, leveraging technology and innovation such as low-carbon nitrogen to enhance production efficiency and deliver high-quality products to consumers. This aligns with TCP Group’s purpose to ‘Energizing a Better World for All’”.
BIG Drives a Low-Carbon Society
Mr. Piyabut Charuphen, Managing Director of BIG, said “BIG is committed to leading innovation for climate solutions in Thai industry. As the first producer and distributor of low-carbon industrial gases in Thailand certified by TGO, BIG’s low-carbon nitrogen reduces carbon dioxide emissions by over 50%, supporting sustainable industrial decarbonization and enhancing global competitiveness regarding carbon tax. This also assures consumers of the safety of using BIG’s low-carbon nitrogen.
“The delivery of low-carbon nitrogen to TCP Group is a significant step in reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions, demonstrating the private sector’s role in addressing climate change.
