4. Biomass

• Research & Demonstration Projects • focusing on community-based size/technologies• heat generation from for small scale industries

• Developing potential biomass data base • Research on increasing agriculture productivity• Research for non-food energy crops

� Important Projects

� Current Status

Target in 2022: Electricity 3,700 MW/Heat 6,760 Ktoe

� Current Status

� Next Steps

• Promoting High Pressure Boiler to enhance

power generation efficiency in sugar factories • Data survey on biomass potential

with geographical information system by provinces

• Setting up Promotion Zone to create the balance of

energy supply• Creating awareness and understanding to people in the communities

5. Biogas

• Biogas from animal dropping.

• Household biogas production system (Thailand-China’s cooperation)

• Pilot project on biogas production in the zoos• Biogas containers/high pressure biomethane• Safety manual for biogas production

� Important projects

� Current Status

•Major raw materials sources comes fromwaste water of theagro industries and agroprocessed factories

• In 2010, the power plant

installed capacity was 137.98 MW.

• Safety manual for biogas production

• Development of biogas quality system to be used

in vehicles (CBG)

� Next Steps

• Developing safety standard/regulations

• Developing technology and spare parts to lowerthe cost

*Production capacity of Cassava Factories alone is more than 300 tons/day.
