CEFIA has built “Flagship projects” as leading activities of collaboration between public, private, and academic players. 
Specific themes of the flagship projects are being discussed in the “CEFIA Government-Private Forum”.
Policy makers, private sectors and experts are discussing and identifying the technologies and policies relevant to each theme. During the first meeting of the CEFIA Government-Private Forum organized in November 2019, good practices of public-private cooperation through technological innovations and policy/regulatory development were shared.

Following are themes and purposes of Flagship projects:

RENKEI: Disseminating control optimization (RENKEI) to reduce energy consumption throughout utility plants and manufacturing plants through IoT.

ZEB: Promoting and developing the Net-Zero Energy Building (ZEB) to contribute to the acceleration of energy efficiency in the demand side in ASEAN.

Microgrid: Introducing Microgrid system combining Magnus wind turbines, solar power, and energy storage functions into remote islands, to realize decarbonized energy and improving resilience.

SteelEcosol: Diagnosing and introducing the best available energy-saving technologies (BAT) to the steel industries.

Biochar: Introducing the technology of storing CO2 as bio-charcoal while biomass gasification and promoting the biochar in the ASEAN region.

AC system: Disseminating Air Conditioning System with Excessive Cooling Protection (currently being introduced on a trial basis in Thailand and Vietnam), which provides the same level of comfort even at high temperature settings.

Finance: Accelerating project formulation originating from the flagship projects.

Hydrogen & Ammonia: Accelerating the building of a hydrogen society and implement clean fuel ammonia.
