Location >> Thailand BOI Policy Acceleration: Biomass & Waste-to-Energy Become New Growth Engine for Thailand & ASEAN
Dateļ¼2025-12-23
Thailand has officially launched the Thailand FastPass policy led by BOI, prioritizing strategic industries, clean energy, and high-demand power sectors. This move will unlock large-scale investments, accelerate infrastructure development, and significantly boost renewable energy deployment — especially biomass and waste-to-energy (WtE).
Why will BOI FastPass strongly drive Biomass & WtE development?
FastPass focuses on sectors such as:
-data centers
-industrial parks
-manufacturing clusters
-renewable & low-carbon power supply
These sectors all share one requirement: stable, dispatchable, and low-carbon power — which makes biomass and WtE uniquely valuable.
Biomass & WtE are taking on critical strategic roles:
-Providing firm, 24/7 baseload renewable power
-Supporting national energy security
-Reducing landfill pressure and waste management challenges
-Creating rural economic value and agricultural income
-Supporting decarbonization targets while ensuring power stability
Unlike intermittent renewables, biomass and WtE deliver reliable, controllable energy, making them essential for ASEAN’s real energy transition.
ASEAN Biomass Market: Policy Momentum + Real Demand
Driven by government incentives, industrial electrification, and sustainability commitments, ASEAN is entering a new acceleration stage for biomass power.
Countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia are rapidly expanding:
-agricultural waste utilization
-biomass co-firing
-municipal solid waste to power
-industrial and captive biomass energy projects
This marks the transition from small pilot plants to large-scale, commercially competitive biomass systems.
What Does This Mean for Biomass & Energy Companies?
ASEAN is becoming one of the most promising biomass & WtE growth markets globally
The policy window is opening fast — early movers will lead the next 5–10 years
Technology providers, EPCs, equipment manufacturers, fuel solution suppliers and project developers will all find strong market opportunities
ASEAN Biomass Energy Expo 2026 & ASEE-ASEAN Smart Energy & Energy Storage Expo
As part of ASEAN Smart Energy & Energy Storage Expo 2026, the ASEAN Biomass Energy Expo will become a key platform connecting:
-policy
-industry
-investors
-project owners
to promote real business cooperation and accelerate biomass development across ASEAN.
Date: March 25–27, 2026
