In Thailand, a tropical agricultural country, large amounts of agricultural residues including those from processing of agricultural products are being wasted. The project aims to create renewable energy resources as an alternative to fossil fuels by developing gasification technologies to obtain gas from such agricultural residues and catalyst technologies to convert the gas to liquid fuel. We will not only develop technologies for characterization of resources, conversion to gas suitable for catalytic reaction, and catalytic conversion of gas to diesel, gasoline, LPG or methanol, but will also build a platform for the social implementation of these technologies through verification of product utilization characteristics as well as human resource development.
Contribute to solving resource and environmental issues by producing liquid fuel from renewable energy resources as an alternative to fossil fuels.
Alternative fuels to fossil fuels and chemical products from abundant biomass resources are produced in Thailand. The obtained biofuels will serve to improve Thailand’s energy self-sufficiency ratio, promote agriculture and rural communities, and conserve the environment of Thailand. In the future, it will also contribute to the development of fuel production from biomass that does not compete with the food supply and prevent global warming by the use of alternative fuels to fossil fuels.
The Overall Goal : The technologies for alternatives to fossil fuel are utilized for creating as bases to industrialization.
Project Purpose : Production technology of alternatives to fossil fuel using biomass and waste resources (quality of wood, farm outputs, waste systems, etc.) is developed, and the Project proposes for the social implementation.
Results : The Project started in August 2017. For the past two years, the Project's activities had been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and has faced many restrictions, which have caused progress to be delayed. Now that the project period has been extended by one year, until August 2023, there is a strong determination to accomplish the Project's outputs.
On July 7th, 2023 the project held the fifth Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) meeting at Chulalongkorn University with committee members including Japanese researchers, Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), Japan Science Technology Agency etc., which consisted of key drivers of the project in attendance. The JCC is held in order to monitor the progress, to discuss problems, and to find solutions for the project. The meeting was chaired by Prof. Tharapong Vitidsant, Director of Centre of Fuels and Energyfrom Biomass, Chulalongkorn University and 26 members were attended.
Prof. Tsubaki, Toyama University, reported that all catalysts, which are catalytic technologies of bio-gasoline, biodiesel, bio-methanol and bio-LPG, have already been prepared for the project. As for the research on catalytic technologies bio-gasoline, capsule catalyst was developed, which is the first in the world to produce premium bio-gasoline from syngas by just one-step and low-cost.
Mr. Watanabe, Japan Coal Energy Center, shared the last gasification operation results. Gasified eucalyptus chips (620kg) resulted to produce total of 540m3 syngas and the syngas is currently stored in the buffer tank at a pressure of about 12 MPa. The H2/CO ratio is 1.6-2.0. Also, the troubles and its countermeasure/improvements taken during the test as well as safety measures were presented.
Dr. Witchakorn Charusiri, Srinakharinwirot University, presented the current status of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study for rubberwood pellet to successfully 4 target products e.g., bio-gasoline, bio-diesel , bio-methane and bio-methanol by gasification and FT catalytic chemical conversion.
1.A synthesis gas production technology from biomass and waste resources is developed.
2.Production technologies such as biofuel by catalytic conversion are developed.
3.Proposals for social implementation are made by verification of the Project products and formulation of a whole system.
