Integrated Management of Biomass Energy in Thailand

บทคัดย่อ

Biomass energy is expected to be one of the future main renewable energy in Thailand when considering their potentiality and raw material from the agriculture and the agriculture industry sectors. However, the increase of biomass power plant in Thailand is unable to contribute the progress of biomass energy technology because of the lack of the integrated management for both supply chain management and social management including the supporting information system. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to analyze the issue of biomass energy technology in Thailand; subsequently proposing the integrated management model of biomass energy technology in Thailand with the supporting information system. The model of the management attempts to establish the technology flow process of biomass energy addressing the technical issues, human resource management and environmental and social acceptance by building 3 new specific units; the biomass national center (BNC), the biomass training center (BTC) and the biomass information center (BIC).In addition, the biomass information system for the administration of the biomass information center consists of 2 functional parts based on the client and server theory. The server is divided into 2 levels, the external server as the government and the internal server as the biomass information center (the main server) connected with the supply chain management and the social management. The client is divided into 3 sectors, the farmer, the vendor and the community.
