has been launched with the goal of generating an initial
electricity amount of 3,700 MW by the year 2022,
representing a major increase from the current total installed
capacity of 1,610 MW
However, the potential of biomass is scattered in and
around the agricultural areas, so that it has the restrictions on
the collection. Moreover, the transportation and storage cost
of biomass are high. In addition, agriculturists have not
recognized the need to utilize the agriculture waste due to the
low adder rate, which is the cost of selling agriculture wastes.
As a result, the current management system of raw materials
for biomass power plant in Thailand is not very efficient.
Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the
current problems in managing bamboo as raw material for
generating electricity in biomass power plants in Thailand
