The Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square recently
partnered EnerGaia to launch a rooftop farming project that has it
growing Spirulina on the hotels rooftop.
Dedicating 130sqm of previously unused
roof space, the project is on track to produce more than 2 tons of
nutritious vegetarian protein per year utilizing ambient urban
carbon dioxide.
David Baldwin, the hotels General Manager, said,
This cooperation with EnerGaia complements our ongoing efforts to
be an environmentally responsible operator, and show that economic
and sustainable goals can work hand in hand.
Novotel Bangkok on Siam
Square earned the coveted ISO:9001 certification in 2000, and has
since followed that achievement as an enthusiastic champion of Accors
global sustainability program, Planet 21.
