Benefits/Advantages of project: |
|
|
| |
Provincial level
- Economy: increase employment and continuous commercial transaction i.e. fuel transportation in the province, generate revenue
into the community both government units, and private entity in term of local administration tax, and related commercial sign tax.
- Society: community will obtain the contribution from the Community Development and Environment Fund nearby the power plant
whose fund has setup to support the overall community's activities.
- Hygiene: clean air in the community keeps increasing due to the clean technology of rice husk fired power plant and its better efficiency
than the traditionally outdoor rice husk fired system which stimulate the high smoke and ash. ATB had equipped with the modern and efficient
technology to detect ash, and smoke which can control particles before release to open-aired almost 10 times.
- Indirect and useful benefit from the efficient process: steam for agricultural industries i.e. paddy rice drying which is helpful for farmers to sell
at higher price.
Country level
- Help saving tremendously amount of nation's fuel cost due to the reduction of fossil fuel import.
- Decrease the number of air pollution since the power production will not incur the NOx and SO2 .
- Increasing supportive role by government to private company in term of development of utility and infrastructure. This project has consistently
highlighted the policy of EPPO in order to improve and adopt the new structure of nation's energy industry.
Global level
- Decreasing Greenhouse gases, cause of Global Warming.
