WHAUP supports waste-to-energy as an alternative power source in Thailand. Through generating electricity or heat from the primary treatment of waste, it can become a source of fuel.

Biogas captures gases that are created when organic matter is decomposing through anaerobic digestion, which can then be used as a new energy source. Biomass burns organic materials such as oil palm fronds and fibre, sugarcane bagasse and leaf, rice straw, corn trunk, cassava rhizome, and waste products from wood. Municipal solid waste (MSW) can also be incinerated, and these materials produce heat or electricity and become a source of green energy as they are recycled and fully sustainable.

Waste-to-Energy

Ecologically Sound, Cost-Effective Energy

Waste-to-energy (WtE), also known as energy-from waste (EfW), is a vital part of a strong and sustainable waste management chain. Fully complementary to recycling, it is an economically and ecologically sound way to provide a renewable source for energy while diverting waste from landfills.

A WtE plant converts solid waste into electricity and/or heat - an ecological, cost-effective way of energy recovery.
 
A waste-to-energy plant converts municipal and industrial solid waste into electricity and/or heat for industrial processing and for district heating systems – an ecologically sound, cost-effective means of energy recovery. The energy plant works by burning waste at high temperatures and using the heat to make steam. The steam then drives a turbine that creates electricity.

Chonburi Clean Energy Plant is an industrial waste to energy power plant in WHA CIE 1, Chonburi province. This power plant has an installed power generating capacity of 8.6 MW with total investment of approximately 1.8 billion baht. This power plant is scheduled to start the commercial operations in November 2019.

CCE power plant or Chonburi Clean Energy Company Limited is a subsidiary of Eastern Seaboard Clean Energy Company Limited, a joint venture between Glow IPP 3 Company Limited (a subsidiary of Global Power Synergy PCL.) with WHA Energy Company Limited (a subsidiary of WHA Utilities and Power Plc.) and Suez Services (Thailand) Company Limited (a subsidiary of Suez (Asia) Limited) for development of industrial waste energy projects. WHAUP owns 33.33% proportion of shares. The total investment on the project is approximately 1.8 billion baht.

High-standard waste incineration technologies by JFE Engineering Corporation (Japan) will provide a safe and environmentally sustainable method for industrial waste disposal.
