Energy Ministry to raise alternate energy target
(BangkokPost.com) – The Energy Ministry has revealed plans to increase its production target of alternative energy to 8 million litres per day.
Kurijit Nakorntap, deputy permanent secretary to the Energy Ministry, said the hike in production from 6 million litres per day will begin next year.
It is hoped the move will help boost the consumption of alternative energy from 4 percent to about 8 percent of the overall rate of energy consumption.
Farmers are encouraged to breed livestock as animal faeces, especially pig waste, is regarded as one of the main ingredients for alternative energy production.
The Board of Investment (BOI) will also offer full support to small manufacturers of alternative energy, in line with government policies.
