Recognizing the problem promoted His Majesty the King to seek methods for renewable energy production to benefit the people and national development at large. In the beginning, he initiated a study on the use of wind, water and sunlight energy to be used at royal development projects. Later, he granted another initiative to study the use of agricultural products to replace oil. This study concerned production of gasohol to mix with low octane benzene to increase the octane value. Importantly, His Majesty granted an initiative to conduct a study on the use of palm oil to replace diesel oil used by machines. This led to the establishment of the Royally-Initiated Project for Improvement of Small-sized Palm Oil Industry at the Pikul Thong Royal Development Study Center, which is under the responsibility of Office of the Royal Development Projects Board (RDPB), in Muang district of Narathiwat district..
