Globally
 11/02/2019  admin  Praj, Thailand, Thailand Sugar

The demand of fuel, particularly bioethanol, in Thailand is likely to

be higher, thanks to the expansion of the numbers of vehicle in
country. The trend, however, has made competition in global
bioethanol market more intensi ed. Bioethanol global production
has gone from 101 billion liters to 119 billion liters, according to a
Krungsri Bank’s document. This means that farmer, entrepreneurs,
and those manufacturers in the industry must be prepared and be

business in Southeast Asia, revealing the company’s points of view
towards the current situation in the market and forecast how its
future would be.

Technology Can Retain Thailand’s Leading Position in Bioethanol

Market
Mr. Joshi says that Thailand is one of front runners in the
bioethanol market in Southeast Asia. The country is producing 1.5
billion liters this year, compared to just 500 million liters of ethanol
10 years ago. That means that Thailand has trebled its bioethanol
production in past decade. Its government also set the target of
bioethanol production to 3 billion liters by 2026 with their
Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP). He says that Praj is
ready for the goal, thanks to its leadership in Technology and also
with a strong foothold in Thailand with their 12 plants in the

country and 50 plants located in the South East Asian region. This
could make his company participate in Thailand’s market
improvement plan in the years to come

“Praj,
Praj is a part of this journey of Bioethanol development in
Thailand and would like to continue to be a part of this journey
all along the next decade by o ering its technology and
engineering expertise.” said Mr. Joshi.

The answer to the development plan is nothing other than

technology. Mr. Joshi says that he is expecting Thailand to have a
similar growth in the second generation bioethanol market as the
previous era. Because of the company’s expertise in bioethanol
engineering, it can o er state-of-art technologies like it has done
before for Thai market for second generation ethanol production
also. Praj has built its own 2nd generation bioethanol plant in India
and it is operating on bagasse, rice straw and corn cobs. This
second generation bioethanol based on non-molasses / sugarcane
feedstock can boost the Thai Bioethanol industry in the coming
years to mitigate the feedstock challenge for the industry.

The company has gained trust from many Thai clients such as Khon
Kaen Alcohol, Thai Suger Ethanol, KI Ethanol, Sap Thip, Double A
Ethanol, Thai Alcohol and Thai Roong Ruang. This doesn’t include a
long list of customers in other countries of the region from
Vietnam, The Philippines, to Australia.
