1 Public - Private Collaboration (Pracharat) - Bioeconomy Mr. Pravit Prakitsri Chief Operating Officer Energy Business Mitr Phol Group InnoBioPlast 2016: Smart Bioplastcs: Prospects and Challenges for Future Bio-economy Bitec Convention Center; 16 September 2016

2 Agenda Bioeconomy: Transformation's game changers Opportunities, challenges and key success factors Biorefinery concept: Modern farm and Biorefinery integration Learning from France Where are we today? Conclusion 2

3 Bioeconomy is the Next Generation of Agricultural Based Economy Thailand is ranked 8 th the most bio-diverse region in the world. #1 World Exporter Biodiversity Hotspots: Regions with high biodiversity Cassava Sugarcane #2 World Exporter (Sugar) Pilot Crops Total land for sugarcane plantation = 16.7 million rai (existing = 10 million rai; new = 6.7 million rai) Productivity to increase from 10 ton/rai to 12 ton/rai Product to increase from 104 million ton/year to 182 million ton/year Total land for cassava plantation = 8.5 million rai Productivity to increase from 3.5 ton/rai to 5 ton/rai Demand to increase from 39 million ton/year in 2014 to 55 million ton/year 1 Renewable Energy and Alternative Energy Development Plan

4 Bioeconomy Value Chain High value Low volume Pharmaceuticals Healthcare Fine Chemicals and Lifestyle Food Feed Nutrition Bulk Chemicals Performance Materials Chemicals and Materials Transportation Fuels Power and Heat Energy Low value High volume 4

5 Opportunities, Challenges, and Key Success Factors Opportunities Energy security New markets Rural economic development Challenges Early stage of commercialization Biorefinery/Biopharmaceutical ecosystems Policies/Mandates Key Successes Factors Leaders with common vision Research and Innovation (lab to scale-up to demonstration) Close collaboration among industries, government and R&D institutes Inter-connection of industries in bioeconomy value chain 5

6 Strategy to Accelerate Development of Bio-Industry Proximity of feedstock and plant Cost of transportation will kill the economies of feedstock if more than 150 km radius Highly specialized industrial zone Industry focus will leverage on the surrounding industry setup World class infrastructure Facilities with Central Utilities Facilities & Biomass Collection Center Hence, enabling us to STRUCTURALLY MOBILIZE 100s million tons of sugarcane and cassava 6

7 Bioeconomy: Transformation s Game Changers Bioplastics Sugarcane Bagasse/Cassava Pulp Bio-Fuel/ Bio-Energy Biochemical/ Materials Cassava Sugarcane Sugarcane/Cassava Pilot Crops 2 เกษตรแปลงใหญ (Modern Farm) 1 Feed Ingredients Food for the Future Pharmaceutical Cassava 7

8 How the BIOECONOMY Contributes to the Whole Economy 1 st phase: Two selected feedstock crops sugarcane cassava purchase of upstream inputs / production of downstream products / higher income for farmers / high-quality employments 8

9 Bioeconomy Target in 5-10 Years Economic Value Added Value for Sugarcane Added Value for Cassava CO 2 Reduction 2x >300,000 MB/Year ~100,000 MB/Year >70 Million Ton 1 Productive Growth Green Growth Inclusive Growth Farmers Income Rise to 65,000 85,000 THB/Year Employment 300, ,000 Households Bio-Based Energy >30 Million Ton Equivalent of Crude Oil 1 (in 20 years) 1 AEDP ( ) 9

10 Modern Farm Modern Farm Research/ Innovation/ Technology Precision Farming Land Leveling Precision Guidance Sugarcane Planting Cultivation Yield Mapping Variable Factor Control (soil/water/weather) Inclusive Growth Productive Growth Mechanization & Utilization Green Growth Land Consolidation Benchmarking 10

11 Efficiency Comparison: Sugarcane Harvester VS Labor Australia Thailand Sugarcane Harvester 750 Ton/Day Sugarcane Harvester 750 Ton/Day Labor 6 Persons Labor 620 Persons 11 11

12 Biorefinery in France 12

13 IAR: INDUSTRIES & AGRO-RESOURCES 13

14 What We Learn from France? Build Networking for Delivery Unit Research Centers/ Universities Networking IAR Model Identified Territory SMEs/ Start-ups/ Large Companies Local Authorities France Industrial Units 300 Members (50% SMEs) Public-Private- Partnership Thailand Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) BOI/ MOF Investors Public-Private- Partnership 14

15 Conclusion Modern Farm Integration Biorefinery Concept New Technology to Drive R&D: Lab Scale Commercial Scale 15
