Currently, the depletion of global fossil energy sources is a concern due to the constantly increasing energy consumption by the increasing population, expanding global economy, and advancements in industrial productivity. Thus, an increase in the burning of commercial fuel has increased the amount of environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Among representative alternative energy sources, biomass from harvesting and its residuals has recently been attracting considerable attention as a renewable feedstock to obtain super clean fuels with zero net carbon emissions; thus, these fuels are distinguished candidates for use as petroleum fossil fuel replacements.
Associate Professor Dr. Witchakorn Charusiri, Researcher from Faculty of Environmental Culture and Ecotourism, Srinkharinwirot University has received financial support from the National Higher Education Science Research and Innovation Policy Council in 2020. He has been emphasised researching the utilization of biomass to convert it into super-clean renewable energy. Thailand is an agro-industrial country, has a large amount of biomass residue leftover from harvesting or processing of agricultural products. Especially, Biomass residual after agricultural harvesting, farmers usually tend to burn its before planting the next crop cycle affects the occurrence of small particles, smoke and air pollution to the environment.
He has collaborated with the Center for Fuels and Energy from Biomass, Chulalongkorn University to create a prototype pyrolysis reactor for bio-oil production and chemicals which is a new generation of bio-fuels (4th bio-fuels generation). This bio-oil also used as replacement fossil fuels and a zero carbon dioxide emission alternative energy fuels, provide the technology transfers to the industrial sector to promote clean energy use in the near future.
1. Promote the conversion of biomass into super-clean energy that is also used as replacement fossil fuels and alternative fuels in the near future.
2. Organise and provide the technological technology transfer and innovation knowledge to the industrial sector to commercialize super clean fuels.
3. Create awareness and a well-understanding of the impact of burning valuable biomass residual that can be utilized as a feedstock to superclean fuels production
