B. Project Objectives
The project development objective is to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
through the capture of methane from an improved wastewater management system of an ethanol
plant and the displacement of fossil fuel from the national electricity grid with the captured
methane.
C. Project Description
The project will involve the upgrading of an existing wastewater treatment system of an ethanol
plant, the Thai Sugar Ethanol (T8E), which produces 100 m3 of fuel grade ethanol per day using
molasses as a feedstock. The TSE generates approximately 1,100 m3
about 600 m
wastewater, on a daily basis after evaporation to reduce the volume of wastewater.
