For the past 20 years the world has been faced with an energy crisis. As the problem became more severe, it imposed a serious impact on Thailand owing to its need for tremendous oil imports. 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. Importantly, His Majesty granted an initiative to conduct a study on the use of palm oil to replace diesel oil used by machines.
