Thailand's Alternative Energy Use Soars In First 10 Months
Thailand's consumption of alternative energy has soared with bio-diesel use skyrocketing by over 1,000 per cent and natural gas for vehicles (NGV) more than doubling, Thailand News Agency (TNA) reported.
Mettha Bunthuengsuk, director-general of the Energy Business Department, conceded that NGV is now unavailable for sale in some areas since there is a shortage of gas cylinders. Thailand's state-owned energy giant PTT Plc had already shifted a purchase order for the cylinders to companies in Brazil from South Korean companies in order to address the shortage. It is expected the problem would be solved in a few months. He said NGV had gained more popularity worldwide. In Thailand, the consumption of alternative energy including NGV, gasohol (a blend of 90 per cent gasoline and 10 per cent ethanol) and bio-diesel had increased considerably in the past several months. Simultaneously, most oil traders affirmed they would stop distribution of premium gasoline after the New Year festival. Certain premium gasoline will be available only in major cities. Mettha said the local consumption of fuel in the first 10 months of this year increased at a much slower pace than that in the same period last year.

The daily consumption of premium gasoline totalled 15.7 million litres, down 2.7 per cent, that of diesel 51.1 million litres, up 2.2 per cent, and that of gasohol 4.5 million litres, up 28.1 per cent.
The daily use of NGV totalled 21.2 million cubic feet, up 107.6 per cent, that of bio-diesel 1.34 million litres, up 1,393.9 per cent, that of cooking gas 9.9 million kilogrammes, up 13.2 per cent. The daily crude oil imports totalled 814,000 barrels, down 3.3 per cent, and the value of oil imports totaled Bt576 billion, down 11.2 per cent. -- BERNAMA http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v3/news_world.php?id=298966
