No results found.In Thailand, as in other countries, numerous industries use wood or other biomass as their main fuel. Many of these industries are small scale, are located in a rural or urban environment, and employ traditional production process. Some of these industries avail of modern technology to make efficient use of wood and biomass fuels in a local, cost-effective way. Some years ago, Thailand, within the framework of the Thai Forestry Sector Masterplan, implemented a nation-wide survey of rural in dustrial wood consumption. This generated a wealth of data on types and characteristics of industries utilising fuelwood. As this type of information will be of interest to many people, RWEDP in close cooperation with staff from the Royal Forest Department decided to compile the information in the form of a photo-illustrated publication. This publication gives an overview of the main wood/biomass-fuel based industries in Thailand, such as agro-processing, food-processing, metal processing, fores t products, mineral based industries and textile. It also provides some information about production, technologies, fuel characteristics and enterpreneurial aspects. This type of information will be relevant for strategies, policies and programmes not only in the energy and forestry sectors, but also with respect to industrial development, employment generation, technology development, regional development, and others. The overview may be equally relevant for other countries where similar indust rial activities take place. -
DocumentMultiple uses of forest biomass as nature-based solution in order to increase the share of green and renewable energy at the energy matrix of several industries

No results found.The Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá) is the association responsible for institutionally representing the planted tree production chain with its main stakeholders. Ibá represents 50 companies and 9 state entities for products originating from planted trees, most notably wood panels, laminate flooring, pulp, paper, charcoal steel industry and biomass, as well as independent producers and financial investors which together contribute with 7% of Brazil’s industrial Gross Domestic Product.
The sector holds 9 million hectares of planted trees and 5.9 million hectares for conservation. The total forest area removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores the carbon into six carbon pools with the potential of storing 4,48 bi TCO2e.
Forest biomass also plays an important role of avoiding carbon emission to the atmosphere when used in industry. By investing in circular bioeconomy this industry has transformed a residue from pulp mills into a source of renewable bioenergy - the black liquor, which represents 69% of the total energy needed by the sector. Adding 20% of forest biomass chip and shavings, the energy matrix of this sector reaches 89% of renewability. Additionally, Brazil is the global leader of charcoal production (12%). 1.8 ton CO2eq is avoided for each ton of pig iron. Such contribution has gained attention from ENDP and GEF, both organizations support an initiative called Sustainable Steelmaking Project - unique from Brazil and that has significant importance in social, environmental and economic aspects. The charcoal industry may also be able to increase energy production by using the gases from pyrolysis through a cogeneration process. Looking at the future, the sector has been investing in innovation to, in the mid-long term, offer bio-oils and 2nd generation ethanol which may contribute mostly for transportation industry – road and aviation. The forest carbon has an innate role at circular economy and provides renewable services and products, especially bioenergy. Keywords: Climate change, Value chain, Innovation ID: 3487071 -

No results found.The end of the second phase of RWEDP was considered to be an opportune time to reflect on the progress made in our understanding of wood energy issues in RWEDP's member countries and on possible issues to be addressed in a follow-up project. Thus, from 22 February to 3 March 1993, two consecutive regional meetings were conducted in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The first one, aimed at planners from RWEDP member countries, was an "Expert Consultation on Data Analysis and Assessment for Wood Energy P lanning" while the second one, aimed at policy makers, was a "Seminar on Policy Instruments for the Implementation of Wood Energy Development Programmes". 36 participants came from the member countries to the two meetings, and a total of 29 papers by 23 resource persons were presented.
