Fig. 1 shows that the WFEPs in Thailand have sharply increased
since 2006. The WFEP of 2010 was 5130 millionm3, about nine
times that of 1986. At the same time, bioenergy’s share of the total
WFEP rose rapidly and reached 65% in 2010. Bioethanol (E8b) and
biodiesel (E8c) also grew rapidly, although there was almost no
change in solid biomass (E8a). Apparently, then, bioethanol and
biodiesel production were the main reason for the overall increase.
We also see that although hydro (E7e) was the major factor in the
total WFEP in the first five years, but it has been replaced by petroleum
products (E6) since 1992.
