Thai biogas project uses factory wastes as fuel
Modular power provider Aggreko is working with developer RE Power to produce electricity from biogas for a facility in Thailand.
Aggreko is delivering 6 MW of biogas-fuelled generator power, providing a flexible way of scaling-up the biogas project and delivering cleaner energy for the facility and the wider region.
The site’s biogas generation gets its feedstock from a tapioca factory. The wastewater and biomass is then captured in Thailand’s first and largest dual feedstock anaerobic digester. The same tapioca factory has been buying biogas to substitute 18,000 litres per day of heavy fuel oil to dry its starch since August 2018.
The solution will allow RE Power Group and its customer PTR to use its waste products to produce clean energy, with the potential to significantly lower the factory’s electricity costs and emissions as a result.
