Invited Lectures	9/3（Mon）　14:10～15:30
Status of Biomass Utilization in Thailand Mr. Yongvut Saovapruk Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Researc Biomass is the most important renewable energy source used in Thailand, particularly it is the source of energy production to share the demand of energy from economic growth. Bagasse, paddy husk, fuel wood, and agricultural waste are the potential biomass energy resource. In order to increase the effective and efficient of biomass utilization in Thailand, various technologies should be developed through the research studies.
Current Status of Biofuels Industry in Indonesia Dr. Marzan A. Iskandar The Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology The biofuels industry in Indonesia grew only through government suppoort, reaching a production capacity up to 4.3 mmillion tons per annum for biodiesel and 153 thousands tons per annum for bioethanol. The increase in feedstock prices increases biofuels price such that it becomes much more expensive than that of oil fuels. This creates a condition where only 9 % of biofuels total production capacity can be absorebed by the Indonesian energy market. To overcome this, it becomes necessary to integrate the biofuel industry form upstream to downstream to stabilize and reduce feedstock cost which ultimately will lead to lower biofuels price.
Current Status of Biofuels Technology Development in Indonesia Dr. Unggul Priyanto The Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology In the research field of Biofuel, to anticipate the competition between energy and foods, a number of research, development and engineering (R, D and E) are conducted by Government Research Institutes and universities such as BPPT in the field of first generation biofuel technology at laboratories and pilot plant scales by using various feedstock types and second generation biofuel technology at laboratory scale using agricultural waste as feedstock.
