Main Biomass Resouces For Boilers In Southeast Asia

A recent report by Transparency Market Research stats that “global biomass boiler market stood at US $68.2 Bn in 2015 and is predicted to touch US $193.1 Bn by 2025, by rising at an 11.10% CAGR between 2016 and 2025.”

Biomass boilers, well-known as eco-friendly heating solutions, are more cost-effective and efficient as compared to fossil fuel boilers. And they are rapidly occupying the global boiler market.

Southeast Asia countries have rich biomass resources, here let’s take it as example to further analyze the biomass boiler using conditions. Companies there are encouraged to use the clean biomass fuels for both generating power and heating applications. And the energy generating capacity of biomass based CHP plants is comparatively much higher than other alternative energy technologies like solar, wind and geothermal energy.

• Sugar mills in Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam generate 34 million tonnes of bagasse.
• Rubber wood industries are the main source of wood waste in Thailand. In 2003, there were 599 sawmills in Thailand which processed sawdust and wood wastes.
• In Malaysia, the palm oil mills produced 46 million tons of palm oil mill effluent (POME)
• The MSW generation in Indonesia is the highest in the region and many of its cities are comparable to any other city in the developed world in terms of solid waste generation.
• Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand account for 90% of global palm oil production leading to the generation of thousands of tonnes of waste per-annum in the form of empty fruit bunches (EFBs), fibers and shells, as well as liquid effluent.
• Rice industries in the Philippines have good potential for CHP plants as one-third of the agricultural land produces rice and consequently large volumes of rice straw and hulls are generated with an estimated potential of 1,500 GWh.

ZBG provides biomass boilers burning various fuels to generate steam and hot water for textile industry, wood factory, paper industry, rice mill, food plants, palm oil plants, power plant, and many other industries in Southeast Asia countries, as well as other countries.
