Thailand's Biofuel Revolution: Ethanol and Biodiesel Development Progress

Thailand has made significant strides in biofuel development, particularly in ethanol and biodiesel production. Since the introduction of the National Ethanol Policy in 2000 and the revival of the program in 1999-2000, the country has positioned itself as a leader in Asia for renewable energy policies. With projects like the Royal Chitralada's molasses ethanol unit and extensive fleet trials, Thailand aims for an ethanol production capacity of 11.6 million liters per day by 2008. The government also incentivizes the use of gasohol and biodiesel, promoting local agricultural products.

  5. Ethanol Program in Thailand • Revival of National Ethanol Program since 1999-2000. Government Policy in Sept. 2000 • Inspiration from development initiatives by HM King Bhumipol since 1970s and pilot plant since1985 • Valuable experiences in technical/economic areas from Trindade’s study and later from ISAF XIII in 2000 in Stockholm, hosted ISAFXIV in Phuket Thailand in 2002. • International Member of Governor Ethanol Coalitions • 1st Country in Asia to announce National Policy for both Bioethanol(19.09.2000) and Biodiesel (10.07.2001)
