1 2011/SOM1/ATCWG/029 Agenda Item: 6 Completion Report - ATC 16/2009A Biofuels from Agricultural and Agro-Industrial Wastes Purpose: Information Submitted by: Thailand 15 th Agricultural Technical Cooperation Working Group Meeting Washington, D.C., United States 2-4 March 2011
2 Completion Report Project Number: ATC 16/2009A Committee / WG / Fora: Project Name: Project Overseer: Agricultural Technical Cooperation Working Group (ATCWG) Biofuels from Agricultural and Agro-Industrial Wastes Assistant Professor Noppol Leksawasdi, PhD Assistant Professor Charin Techapun, PhD 1. Key Issues Outline two or three of the most important findings or recommendations arising from the project. Examples could include: results from surveys or case studies; fundamental lessons or insights provided by participants, speakers or experts; roadblocks to progressing an issue; or priorities for future action. a) Knowledge and cost reduction information regarding second/third generation biofuels from experienced APEC member economies had been shared to all seminar participants. The current status, future trends, and sustainability of 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd generations of biofuels have been discussed with the focus on bioethanol, biodiesel, as well as benefits for rural area people. The keynote speakers and active participants have learned numerous facts on the biofuels other than their expertise. The discussed topics included; - Concerns regarding to the use of food crops for production of biofuels - Examples of microorganisms to be used for biofuels production - Will microalgae be a future fuel? - Energy crisis and global warming lead to a quest for new sustainable energy - Which biofuels to be used? - Greenhouse gases elevated from the use of croplands for biofuels - Biofuels carbon debt is created from first generation biofuels. - Marine biomass to bioenergy - How to decrease the cost of bioenergy to overcome fossil fuels selection by people? - Sustainable biofuel implementation requires governmental supports in terms of mandatory or regulation - Commercialization of second generation biofuels The respondents were asked to rate their biofuels knowledge before and after participating in the symposium. It was found that 43.4% rated their biofuels knowledge level at high or highest level before participating in the event, this was compared to 92.4% after participation, an improve of 49.0%. b) The technical, economics, and environmental information and experiences regarding the bioconversion of agricultural and agro-industrial wastes to biofuels among APEC member economies had been exchanged. There will be a huge paradigm shift (including economy) from fossil fuel/petroleum based era to bio-based era. The food and energy securities of the public can be enhanced while the environment will be protected (cleaner air and water) as biofuels technology generates a much less wastes. The development of practical biofuels technology on the commercial scale will create jobs. Although the majority of symposium participating respondents (57.7%) were awared that second/third generation biofuels development in their respective economies were not at sufficient level, they realized the importance of biofuels in the future at high or highest level (94.3%). In addition, the majority of respondents (61.5%) were willing to select biofuels as an alternative to the normal biofuels at high or highest levels even though the prices of the
3 former fuels were more expensive. c) A new network of biofuels researchers/scientists and industry leaders working the importance of shifting the research direction from the first generation towards the second generation of biofuels had been established with the collection of benchmark on sex-aggregated data. The new international network of biofuels experts from governmental and private sectors have been established across APEC economies leading to a future cooperation and collaboration which allows for the possibility of mutual benefits based on the network as well as common problems & challenges. The group will disperse the knowledge learned to their respective communities and would like to schedule a regular meeting for this network. The best strategy for biofuels policy might be considered on a case by case basis for each economy to ensure food and energy securities in a win-win scenario. The specific policy might concentrate on the other types of raw materials such as feedstock other than the well recognized palm oil. The panelist of this network will play important roles in providing suggestion and recommendation for the upcoming APEC funded biofuels network symposium and training workshop (ATC 08/2010A) to reach the overall goal of cost-effective development of second generation biofuels. More than 40% of female (43.4%) had participated in the symposium as general and active participants. The majority of respondents (more than 80%) had education level higher than Master Degree with age range of years old (32.1%). The respondents opinioned that the level of opportunities/roles of women in biofuels related agency/organization in their respective economies were relatively at high or highest levels (52.0%) while only 4.0% of respondents rated the level of women participation in biofuels at low level. 2. Outputs Provide a list of the outputs (tangible things you can count) from the project. This may include how many workshops were held and the number of people that attended, the number of case studies / reports / guides developed, or the number of project CDs produced and distributed. a) 3-day symposium held; b) Welcome Remarks: Mr. Apichart Jongskul, Secretary General, Office of Agricultural Economics, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, THAILAND c) 97 participants attended the 3-day symposium; d) One biofuels network of experts was established; and a) Project documentation (downloaded at _id=1082) and video record of the entire conference were produced in DVD format and will be mailed to participated economies upon approval from APEC 3. Participant information Provide details on: - The number of participants (or subjects if the project was a survey) - Which APEC member economies participated - Any non-apec member participants - The relative number of women and men participants Number of Participants Nature of Participation Sex disaggregation 10 active participants Official APEC-delegates 6 male and 4 female 2 Indonesia participants 1 Malaysia 2 Mexico 1 Philippines 2 Thailand 2 Viet Nam 82 participants (81 Thai, 1 Indonesian) Non-APEC funded delegates 46 males and 36 females
