Biogas Production from Agricultural Wastes in Thailand

The demand of energy has been increased over the years as the sequence by increasing of the world population. Currently, the energy consumption in Thailand was rising in relation to economic growth. Thai government announced its needs to increase the acquired share of alternative energy from 6.4% to 20.3% of commercial primary energy by 2022. In this situation, Thailand with the abundant and varieties of biomass and agricultural wastes should have the great challenge and opportunity for this supply to anaerobic digestion for biogas production accordingly by the strategy of government. Thus, this paper illustrated sources of biogas feedstock from biomass and agricultural wastes, status and potential of biogas production and utilization, biogas technology used, driving forces, and future perspectives in country.
