5 Background In 2013, the Thai government raised its biogas targets from 600 to 3,600MW until Under the scheme, biogas plants of a combined capacity of 3,000MW running on energy crops shall be built within the next 8-10 years. In addition, 1,200 tons of Compressed Biogas (CBG) shall be produced daily. In order to support this technology development, the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE) has chosen 13 pilot projects that shall serve to demonstrate the use of Napier Grass as feedstock for biogas plants with a capacity of up to 1MW. Thai stakeholders have now expressed an interest in knowledge sharing between Germany and Thailand in order to assure that not only a quantitative but also a qualitative development takes place. Sustainability, quality and safety concerns need to be discussed and measures need to be put in place to ensure that the market can develop successfully. Coherent safety rules and guidelines for biogas as well as biomethane plants will not only ensure to protect the environment and the worker, but they will also lead to higher acceptance and trust in the technology which is necessary for a successful market development. In addition, quality standards will enable investors to compare different systems and to evaluate different technologies. Therefore, GIZ in cooperation with DEDE and the German-Thai Chamber of Commerce (GTCC) will bring together Thai stakeholders and German experts in this unique capacity building event. German company representatives and industry experts will share their long-standing experience on system planning, or operation and maintenance, thus enhancing the capacities of Thai companies and leading to a higher performance and safer installations. The partner training also offers a unique opportunity for German services and technology providers to demonstrate their value addition through professional training and support in order to position themselves as a trustworthy and reliable partner and to build lasting business relationships in Thailand. In addition, the event shall trigger the discussion on political support for biogas quality and safety regulation, and enhance safe operation, cost effective building of biogas plants as well as standardized authorizing procedures. renewables Made in Germany The partner training forms part of the renewables - Made in Germany Initiative by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The BMWi has commissioned the GTCC and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to jointly implement the initiative s regional activities in Thailand. The initiative aims at sharing knowledge and technology and creating business partnerships and sector-specific networks between German and Thai companies and business associations in order to join forces to maximize project opportunities in the field of renewable energies.
