This research aims to examine the energy potential of the elephant camps located in Tumbon Maewin, Apmphoe Maewang, Chiang Mai, Thailand.A questionnaire survey was given to the research participants. The questions mainly focused on the energy consumption, monthly budget for buying energy, and their understanding on energy. The results from the participants in 16 elephant camps, handling 133 animals, indicated that the camps paid more than 3000, 10000, and 400 baths in average monthly for electricity, fuel oil, and cooking gas, respectively. However, the generated elephant dung of 4 tons per day has the gross and net heating values of 63600 and 58600 MJ which can be used as a renewable resource to produce renewable energy for replacing the fossil fuels serving the elephant camp activities.

The ground-mounted solar farms are the most common type of Thailand solar power plant. Presently, the area under the solar panels in Thailand had not been utilized. This work was to investigate a suitable configuration for space utilization under the PV panels which could promote power production. The effect of space utilization was investigated for 3 configurations: a water pond, chili cultivation, and a grass plantation. Under the first PV string, the pond sizing 2.4 × 15 meter was created. Under the 2nd PV string, 60 chilies samples were planted. Moreover, the grass was planted under the third string. The intensity of solar radiation (W/m2), temperature, voltage and current of solar panels were also monitoring. The impact of all configurations on the power generation was evaluated and compared with a control. Results indicated that the space utilization of the first string (the pond) and of the second string (the chili cultivation) generated electricity at 1.6 kW. Both configurations could generate more power than control. The pond and the vegetable plantation were suitable configurations for promoting power production.

This research aims to perform the techno-economic feasibility of the applied hybrid biomass stove to produce hot water for serving Child Development Center (CDC) in Omkoi District, Chiang Mai, Thailand. The hot water generated from the stove could help to decrease LPG usage and enhance household economics. Many activities in CDC (i.e., children showering during the winter season, cloth washing, and utensils cleaning among others) require hot water to prevent the contamination of harmful germs which could cause many diseases such as diarrhea in young children. Presently, Asian Development College for Community Economy and Technology, Chiang Mai Rajabhat University (adiCET) has installed the hybrid stove to the in Omkoi district. The biomass stove could generate 90 °C hot water using plant/agriculture waste as the fuel. However, the economical parameters (i.e., Payback Period, Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return) could strengthen the technology. The results from this study could be used as one of the guidelines for policymakers to design the appropriate programs for enhancing the CDC using the waste-to-energy concept.

This work focuses on the design of the household biomass gas stove which is suitable for the lifestyle of the Thai northern people. In addition, the performance and exhaust emission of the stove - updraft gasifier - was design per the community requirement were evaluated. The stove consists of a combustion chamber – a primary chamber - and a secondary chamber with the primary and secondary air inlet of 0.016 and 0.002 m2, respectively. Moreover, the flow rate of primary air and secondary air was 0.456 and 1.340 kg/s, respectively. The performance of the stove was analyzed by the water boiling test technique and the emission of exhaust gas was evaluated with a fuel gas analyzer. The result indicated that the thermal efficiency of the stove was 44.84%. The specific fuel consumption was 0.029 kg/kg of water. Comparing the designed stove with the traditional clay brazier stove, the performance of the designed stove was higher than the traditional stove. The emission comparison between the designed household biomass gas stove, the traditional stove and the Thai exhaust gas emission standard indicated that both stoves released NOx and SO2 which are less than the standard whereas CO emission of the designed stove conformed to the standard. This work confirmed that the efficiency and the exhaust gas emission of the designed stove are better than the traditional stove. Therefore, this household biomass gas stove could replace the conventional stove

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of starch wastewater for biogas production has been widely installed in Thailand for a decade. Unfortunately, this specific waste stream contains low alkalinity (Alk) and high volatile fatty acids (VFAs) which could easily lead to system instability. The appropriate monitoring indicators could help to decrease chance of reactor failure. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of the AD system and the effect of operating parameters i.e. oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and pH on the system in a continuous stirred tank reactor operated in semi-continuous mode at organic loading rate (OLR) of 1.0 kg COD/m3.day. The temperature was controlled at a mesophilic condition (35±2°C) for the whole experiment. The results showed that the average ORP and pH were -400 ±50 mV and 7.0 ± 0.2, respectively. The average biogas and methane yields were 0.901±0.128 NL/g VS added and 0.528±0.076 NL/g VS added, respectively. The methane composition was 58.43±4.76 %. The total COD and filtrated COD removal efficiencies were 94.75±1.42% and 97.88±0.53%, respectively. It could be concluded that at the low OLR (i.e. 1.0 kg COD/m3.day), pH and ORP was stable and fell within the recommended range for AD and indicated the stability of the system.

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines produced by transesterification and esterification of vegetable oils or animal fats with short-chain alcohols such as methanol. The reaction requires a catalyst, which is generally a strong base, thus producing a new chemical compound called methyl ester. One of the most common sources of biodiesel feedstock is CPO (Crude Palm Oil). CPO production in Indonesia is very high at 30.2 million tons in 2016, but CPO prices are low. Biodiesel can be produced using conventional methods, this method is less efficient because of its very slow and inefficient heating resulting from the transfer of energy to materials that depend on the convection currents and the thermal conductivity of the reaction mixture) which causes researchers to use new methods of producing Biodiesel, that is by using induction heating method. An induction heater is a technology that has been applied both in industry and households. The weight of the catalyst used uses variations of 0.6; 0.8; 1.0; 1.2; 1.4 %. The analysis showed that for optimal catalyst weight of 1.4%, yield biodiesel of 83.94%, density of 0.875 gr/cm3, the viscosity of 5.78 cSt, and flash point >100 oC. The use of 1.4% catalyst concentration produced biodiesel product that has a high yield and according to SNI 7128: 2015

The biochemical methane potentials for common reed (Phragmites australis) and cow dung from northern Thailand, Chiang Mai city were investigated. This study aims to evaluate optimal parameters for the substrate of common reed and cow dung with different ratios (i.e. 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2) for improving the quality of methane content and biogas production. The effect of the co-substrate mixture was carried out in a batch reactor operated under room temperature and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 45 days. The experiments were conducted in the fermenter with a working volume of 2.5 L and a total volume of 3L. The substrate was containing 15% of total solids (TS) and fermentation at initial pH 7. Biodegradation of substrate stated that chemical oxidation demand (COD) removal was 52.38%, the utilization of volatile solid was 75.46%. The results were achieved at ratio 2:1 (common reed and cow dung) reached the highest methane content and total biogas yield are 70% and 20,015 ml, respectively. Consequently, the results of this study suggested that mixing ratios of influence on the fermentation process and monitoring parameters were significant for further scale up or large-scale design of enriched methane content and biogas production.

Mae Cham district is located only 156 kilometers from the center for Chiang Mai, but the road trip would take at least 3 hours on the meandering mountains road. The first dirt road that provides access between Mae Cham in Chiang Mai was completed in 1963. The result of the road network and access to the global market has both positive and negative impacts on the people pf Mae Cham. The access to Mae Cham has transformed the food production system in Mae Cham from being self sufficient to becoming a part of the national and international food chain. The crops on the field have changed from rice to cash crops like animal feed corn and from local vegetables to commercial crops like cabbages, to feed into the national and international food chains. The consumption of local food has been transformed as well. The local dishes remain the same, while the added ingredient such as monosodium glutamate, fish sauce, seasoning powders that have increase the chance of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
