Thai policy helping to drive push for more biogas and biomass power production

In Thailand, a new research report says the country’s biogas market should grow 10% while its biomass market should grow 4% between 2017 and 2022 for a total installed capacity of 4,750MW. The country’s northeastern region, home to many host industries providing feedstock for the energy production facilities, is expected to continue to lead growth in the sector, followed by central and southern provinces. Government policy has been the key driver, recent changes to which have been made to promote both biogas and biomass energy.
