1 Biogas Potential in Thailand Renewable Energy Biogas/Biomass Made in Germany Conrad Hotel, Bangkok 9 September 9 Sirikul Prasitpianchai Project Manager German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) page 1

2 Sources Industrial wastewater Tapioca/Palm Oil/Ethanol Food canning and process Frozen Seafood Agriculture wastewater Pig/Chicken/Duck/Cow Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) page

3 Industrial Wastewater Industry Total factories Biogas systems Data: 8 No Biogas 1. Starch/Tapioca Palm oil Ethanol Rubber Food processing Source: Chulalongkorn University, page 3

4 Industry - Starch/Tapioca No. of factory >5 Capacity (Ton/day) W/ biogas No biogas Starch/tapioca industry has high biogas technology penetration, nearly 7%. Remaining potential is in smaller factories (production capacity 1- Ton/day) Potential in tapioca wet cake Source: Chulalongkorn University, page 4

5 Industry Palm Oil N o. of factory < >6 Capacity (TFFB/hr) w/ biogas No biogas 4% of Palm oil industry has biogas plants Potential of EFB for biogas is being studied in GTZ Sustainable Palm Oil Project (Contact: Daniel.May@gtz.de) Source: Chulalongkorn University, page 5

6 Industry - Ethanol No. of Factory ,-1, 11,1-15, 15,1-,,1-5, Capacity (Litre/day) W/ Biogas No Biogas Existing biogas systems are nearly 5% of total potential Ethanol can be produced from cane molasses/cassava Source: Chulalongkorn University, page 6

7 Industry Food&Beverage Industry Total factory Potential No. of factory Meat processing Canned fish Frozen seafood Aqua products processing Fruit&Vegetable canning Dried fruit Bakery 66 factories are identified as good potential for biogas production (gas volume > 4 m 3 ) Majority of potential factories are in food canning and frozen seafood Source: Chulalongkorn University, page 7

8 Industry - Rubber No. of Factory >5 Ton/Month W/ Biogas No Biogas Technical barrier Need research cooperation May need enforcement of environmental regulations on wastewater Source: Chulalongkorn University, page 8

9 Agricultural Wastewater Pig farm is most developed in biogas installation with % of potential. With government subsidy target, pig farms will reach 4% of potential in 13 Other farms still behind in biogas development due to technical, financial barriers, collection of sources, and competing use in other sectors Buffalo, 169 mil m 3 /yr Pig, 48 mil m 3 /yr Installed biogas 89mil m 3 /yr Duck, 8 mil m 3 /yr Chicken, 9 mil m 3 /yr Cow, 1131 mil m 3 /yr Dairy, 58 mil m 3 /yr Source: Chulalongkorn University, page 9

10 MSW and Domestic Wastewater MSW No. Biogas Potential Biogas in operation Remaining Potential (mil m3/year) No. (mil m3/year) No. (mil m3/year) Municipality and Sub-district 7,948 1, ,946 1,15 Good potential for CDM projects Many landfill biogas projects are now being developed Source: Pollution Control Department, 4 page 1

11 Investment Cost Waste sources Baht/m3 biogas Baht/kWh Dried fruit.33.8 Tapioca Palm Oil.84.7 Pig farm.96.8 Starch Slaughter (pig).65.1 Paper Alcoholic beverage Beer Solid Waste Non-alcoholic beverage Cost of biogas systems depends on several factors. The above table shown average investment cost regardless of technology from field survey, interview, and secondary data from 19 systems in Thailand. - Only Initial Investment Cost - System life time 15 years - Overall biogas production Source: A Study on Biogas Potential, KMUTT, 6 page 11

12 GTZ Biogas Project Problems/barriers in Thai Biogas sector Human resource: under qualified operators leads to inefficient operation of systems/shut down Lack of mutual agreement on standards Lack of network for cooperation among several stakeholders GTZ Biogas Project Identify incentives/measures for impenetrate sub-sectors Quality system for operator/planner and human resource development Biogas network/association Project period: years (October 9 September 11) page 1

13 Biogas Producers Exchange of experiences Leverage framework conditions Biogas Network Research/Academic Exchange of information and compilation of database Cooperation on research and testing Policy Makers Agreement on standards and regulations DIW, Ministry of Industry (safety standards) PCD, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (environmental standards), DEDE, Ministry of Energy (quality/performance standards) Cooperation on database of biogas systems Private Companies Contact point for products information Access to market page 13
