Guideline for Biomass Development

Guideline for Biomass Development in Thailand

1. Promoting community to collaborate in broaden production and consumption of renewable energy

* Promote establishment of ‘‘Distributed Green Generation (DGG)’’ as

for community energy station by the local energy enterprise group as owner to integrated manage the station.

* Promote planting the fast growing trees in any wilderness/wasteful land or non-utilized area, and to process for distribution as fuel to DGG in order to extend using in electricity generation.

15

Guideline for Biomass Development in Thailand

2. Adjusting incentive measures for investment from private sector appropriated with the situation

* Consider to require supportive measures as adder or FIT and RHI

(Renewable HeatIncentive) specially for DGG project at community level in particular.

* Prepare the financial support measure on efficiency improvement of the old biomass powerplants for changing any low pressure boilers to high pressure boilers.

16

3. Improving infrastructure system

* Assign EGAT and PEA (the Provincial Electricity Authority) to consider extending the transmission and distribution lines to support the development of biomass power plant project, especially in area with high potential of energy from biomass, such as at the South.

Guideline for Biomass Development in Thailand

4. Public Relations and building up comprehensive knowledge of people

* Build up the collaborative process in target area to install the

biomass-derived energy system, campaign to educate children and juveniles in the detailed biomass management for energy and environment at local level.

* Establish the network of biomass energy entrepreneurs.

17

5. Promoting research work as mechanism in development of integrated renewable energy industry

* Develop the production, consumption and standard of Biomass Pallet

as for the future biomass fuel. * Develop the technologies of Gasifier and Gas Engine, including theirs

extended industrial plants for domestic production. * Develop the Biomass-to Liquid technology.
