Summary Report of the Project to Increase the Efficiency of Ethanol Production from Fresh Cassava and Cassava Chips
(Project implemented in B.E. 2559) As the Ministry of Energy has an Integrated Energy Plan consisting of 5 main plans for the period B.E. 2558–2579, namely the Power Development Plan, Energy Conservation Plan, Natural Gas Procurement Plan, Fuel Oil Management Plan, and Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP2015). The AEDP2015 plan emphasizes promoting the production of energy from domestic renewable energy raw materials to their full potential, including the development of renewable energy production potential with appropriate technology. The AEDP plan has a target ethanol usage of 11.3 million liters/day in B.E. 2579. In B.E. 2559, Thailand had an ethanol production capacity of ~4.7 million liters/day and average ethanol usage of 3.7 million liters/day, calculated as a ratio of ethanol produced from molasses to ethanol produced from cassava at 67% to 33%, respectively. A major obstacle in increasing ethanol production capacity to meet the AEDP 2015 plan targets is the issue of ethanol prices being higher than gasoline prices, which is a problem arising from ethanol production costs, particularly ethanol production from cassava. The reason production costs for ethanol from cassava are higher than ethanol from molasses is due to the process of converting cassava into sugar form. The concept currently of interest to the industrial sector for increasing ethanol production from cassava and reducing production costs per unit is increasing the concentration of the feedstock by changing from using cassava with a concentration of approximately 20% by weight, or Normal gravity fermentation (NG), to using cassava with a concentration of approximately 30% by weight, or High gravity fermentation (HG), which theoretically...
