Total Societal Impact(TSI) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Biomass Power plant

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Power plant

Contribute to the Paris Agreement Decreasing greenhouse gas emission.

Future Potential To provide base-load to grid in place of conventional energy

• Saves government’s spending on putting down forest fires and farm fires

• Saves government’s spending on PM 2.5 related health problems such as respiratory

complications, masks distributions and water spraying in cities, to from PM 2.5 particle.

• Prevents economic loss from the decrease in tourism due to PM 2.5 problems.

Solves PM 2.5 problem at the root

• Additional income to farmers

• Stabilize income for farmers under market uncertainty → reduce empty subsidies that

the government has to give out

• Distribution of revenue to grassroots : Shift from LNG imports to purchasing fuel from individual Thai

farmers
