According to Ken Research report titled “Thailand Biogas and Biomass Market Outlook to 2022 – By Revenue Streams (Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), Power Generation), By Biomass Industries (Bagasse, Rice husk, Rice straw, Bark, Bark, Lumber, Black liquor, Others), By Region” Availability of new technology at low cost to small players is the major growth driver behind the growth of biogas sector. In the biogas segment, northern Thailand is expected to grow the fastest among other regions, whereas in the biomass sector southern regions seem to have the highest potential.
Government introduced the Feed in tariff scheme (FiT) to boost the investments in the sector by opening up the market by competitive pricing.
