It can handle various types of solid fuels such as coal, biomass or agricultural wastes. Coal and biomass have been used as fuel to generate heat for a boiler in many industries. To predict the proper amount of mixed fuel and to reduce the emission from coal burning, a

The major challenge of using dedicated energy crops, especially in Thailand, is the competition of land use for food. The other important concern is the loss of biodiversity. Therefore, use of agricultural residues as bioenergy resource represents an appropriate option

This study investigated the case of the sugar industry in Thailand and identified scenarios offering GHG emissions reduction benefits. Electricity generation potential from using sugarcane residues and/or upgrading power generation systems represent beneficial options. The largest potential of electricity export to the national grid can be achieved by upgrading boiler systems of all sugar mills to 103 bar and 515 °C. Using 19% of the generated sugarcane tops and leaves along with bagasse can generate 9 TWh electricity and would reduce GHG emissions by 4.8 Mt CO2 equivalent a year. The economic analysis shows that using high steam pressure boiler configurations for power generation results in substantial reduction in production cost and increase in benefit.

The quantified environmental and socio-economic benefits of this potential renewable energy source could be a driving force noted by the decision makers and communities. Converting rice straw residues to electricity or ethanol would directly increase the standard of living of regional households (in terms of expenditure fulfillments). Direct contributions to the housing, healthcare, education, and necessities, as well as the share of straw logistics on regional wise basis are estimated. Furthermore, one environmental and four socio-economic indicators are quantified for 1-MJ of dry rice straw delivered and used in assumed commercial 10-MWe and 24-ML ethanol conversion facilities using the same yearly quantity of ∼116,000 t rice straw. All the indicators show favor in the ethanol option. Comparison ratios of value added of straw to energy, life-cycle GHG reductions, net currency savings, direct value-added GDP, and employment (direct/indirect/unemployed) beneficiaries for ethanol and power options would be, respectively, 1:0.07, 1:0.89, 1:0.96, 1:0.11, and 1:0.35. Total yearly employment beneficiaries of 15,000–18,000 and 41,000–51,000 are expected for power and ethanol options, respectively.
