Biomass Wood Plantation Project for Power Generation
MDX Public Company Limited partnered with Kasetsart Agricultural and Agro-Industrial Product Improvement Institute (KAPI) of Kasetsart University for Eucalyptus plantation (specifically K7 and K2019) on the area of approximately 842 Rai. Eucalyptus is a perennial plant of 25 – 50 M in height and 1-2 M diametre. It takes 3 – 5 years to grow, with a calorific value of 5,000 – 7,000 Cal/g.
This implementation started in 2019, with the approximate volume of 300,000 trees. The expected result is 15 ton per Rai. The trees are used as fuel for nearby biomass power plants of Gateway City Industrial Estate further.
