At the end of 2007 more than 4000 service stations distribute E10 gasohol all over the country and all stations distribute B2 as mandated by the government. B5 biodiesel blend is now available in more than 3000 stations. Bioethanol used in December was 600 KL/day in average. Biodiesel used was 150 KL/day in for low-blend of 2-5% before the mandatory period. After the mandate of blending 2% biodiesel in all highspeed diesel, the use of biodiesel jumped to above 1 million l./day level in February 2008. Renewable eletricity production reached 2057 MWe and biomass-based heat and steam was 1840 KTOE in 2007.

Amount of biofuel production

Biodiesel Production is about 1,150 KL/day; production capacity is 2,185 KL/day. Bioethanol Production is 700 KL/day (Feb.2008) and the production capacity is 1,150 KL/day.

Situation of biofuel introduction

Biofuel introduction is now accelerating in Thailand. Bioethanol-blended gasoline (E10) is now reaching 6 ML/day out of 20 ML/day of total gasoline consumption and the bioethanol blends(E10) gained a market share of 23% of all gasoline use at the end of 2007. Biodiesel-blended diesel is now 3 ML/day out of 50 ML/day total diesel consumption in December 2007. The consumption figure for Feb. 2008, the market for B5 was 5ML/day of the total diesel market of 50 ML/day, the rest of the fuels were B2 blended as mandated by the government.
