As part of the GIZ TGC EMC framework, REpoweri is developing four utility-scale biomass power plants with a combined installed capacity of 168.36 MWe. These facilities will utilize 1,628,474 tons of rice straw and 1,065,721 tons of sugarcane leaves per year as sustainable feedstock, secured through long-term contracted farming and cooperative agreements.
Instead of being openly burned, these residues will be transformed into:
Clean Electricity – Supplying both the national grid and industrial estates with stable, renewable power.
Green Boiler Fuels & Thermal Energy – Supporting industries in replacing coal and HFO in their processes.
Certified Carbon Credits – Generated under T-VER, Verra, and Gold Standard frameworks, creating additional value for investors and communities.
Each plant contributes directly to Thailand’s PDP renewable energy targets, supports CBAM compliance for export industries, and avoids significant emissions of both CO₂ and PM2.5 particulate matter. Together, the four plants form one of the largest agricultural-residue-based renewable energy initiatives in Thailand, combining climate action, air quality improvement, and rural development into a single, scalable platform.
Compost & Soil Enrichment Plants: Residual biomass not used for energy is converted into organic compost and biochar, enhancing soil fertility, water retention, and carbon sequestration. This circular approach not only reduces emissions but also supports sustainable agriculture and farmer incomes.
PM2.5 Reduction: By diverting agricultural residues from open burning, our projects directly reduce fine particulate emissions that cause severe air quality problems in northern and central Thailand. Each project is positioned to create measurable health and environmental benefits at the community level.
Community Engagement & Contracted Farming: Feedstock supply is secured through contracted farming programs with cooperatives, enabling farmers to participate in the clean energy value chain. This ensures supply stability, predictable incomes, and rural job creation.

Typical CO₂e emissions from open burning (including CO₂, CH₄, N₂O):
Rice straw: ~1.5 tCO₂e per ton burned
Sugarcane leaves: ~1.0 tCO₂e per ton burned
Rice straw: 1,628,474 × 1.5 = 2,442,711 tCO₂e/year avoided
Sugarcane leaves: 1,065,721 × 1.0 = 1,065,721 tCO₂e/year avoided
