Asia Biogas to Generate Power From Palm-Oil Waste in Thailand
03/05/2014 (Bloomberg) - Asia Biogas Group will build a plant in Thailand for Pupanich Palm Oil Co. to turn waste into power.
The electricity generated from the 2-megawatt biogas plant will be sold to Thailand’s Provincial Electricity Authority, Asia Biogas said today in an e-mailed statement. Construction will start once regulatory approvals have been given, it said.
“The biogas sector has a great deal to offer palm oil mill owners as we can not only treat their wastes but produce usable energy and compost in a sustainable manner,” said Desmond Godson, chief executive officer of Asia Biogas.
