Biomass Renewable Energy Business
The biomass power business is one of the operational approaches that
runs alongside the sugar business, with a focus on efficiently utilizing renewable resources.
To create added value in the production process, bagasse—a by-product of sugar production—and sugarcane leaves collected by cane farmers are used as raw materials for generating steam and electricity. The energy produced is utilized both internally within the organization and sold to the national power utilities.
At present, the Group has a total installed generation capacity of 175.9 megawatts, with the capability to efficiently produce and supply up to 71.29 megawatts of electricity to the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).
The biomass power business, as a form of renewable energy, not only helps reduce pollution caused by the burning of agricultural residues, but also plays a significant role in improving quality of life and increasing farmers’ income through the procurement of sugarcane leaves as supplementary fuel. This contributes to the sustainable development of Thailand’s sugarcane and sugar industry, both in terms of energy and environmental sustainability.
