Bioenergy: The Renewable Energy Becoming the “Heart” of the Future World Article by SO OK TRADING | April 5, 2026
Bioenergy is no longer just an alternative energy source — it is being elevated into a “key engine” for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially in industries that are difficult to electrify such as aviation, heavy transport, and manufacturing. Its unique appeal lies in the use of natural resources and agricultural residues, turning waste into clean energy while reducing environmental impact.
Main Forms of Bioenergy
Biomass Power & Heat: Burning rice husks, bagasse, and wood chips to produce steam for turbines
Biogas: Anaerobic digestion of animal waste and wastewater to generate methane for cooking or electricity
Liquid Biofuels:
Ethanol: Produced from sugarcane, cassava, and corn
Biodiesel: Produced from palm oil and animal fats
Global Trends Toward 2030
Advanced Biofuels: Derived from waste and algae, reducing food competition
SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel): The star of aviation, tripling in growth within a year
Bio-LNG & Biomethane: Emerging fuels for heavy transport and industry in Europe and America
Flexible Bioenergy: Enhancing grid stability alongside solar and wind power
2030 Projections
Market Size: USD 207–283 billion
CAGR: 7.7–11.3% annually
Global Energy Share: Rising from 13% to nearly 20%
Thailand’s Situation
2024: Bioenergy accounted for over 50% of all renewable energy
PDP 2024: Targeting 51% clean energy share by 2037
Thailand remains ASEAN’s leader in biomass and biogas
Popular Fuels: Ethanol vs Wood Pellets
Ethanol:
Main markets: USA and Brazil
Trend: Increasing use in SAF production despite EV reducing demand in cars
Wood Pellets:
Main markets: Europe, Japan, South Korea
Trend: Rising prices due to demand exceeding fast-growing wood supply
New materials: Straw pellets, palm shells
RDF-3 vs Solar vs Wind
RDF-3 (Refuse-Derived Fuel): Rising star in cement plants and waste-to-energy facilities, providing 24-hour power
Solar Cells: Easy to install, lowest cost, suitable for homes and large farms
Wind Turbines: Stable growth, especially offshore wind delivering massive electricity
Global Overview
USA: Ethanol and SAF for aviation
Europe: Biomethane and wood pellets replacing gas and coal
China: Biomass power and waste-to-energy
Japan & South Korea: Massive imports of wood pellets
Australia: Developing biomethane and algae-based fuels
Middle East: Producing biogas and bio-hydrogen
Africa: Transitioning from firewood to clean cookstoves
Bioenergy is the “energy of the future,” driving sustainability in aviation, transport, and electricity generation. Thailand has strong potential to become the regional hub for bioenergy.

Europe Slows Down, Thailand Adapts, The World Transforms – New Opportunities in 2026
2026 is not a year of stagnation but a turning point for the global economy — as Europe slows down, Thailand must adapt, and the world accelerates into the era of clean energy and digital transformation.
While Europe remains the “global standard‑setter” in food safety, precision agriculture, and green industries, Thailand is pursuing proactive economic diplomacy to open new markets and strengthen its global competitiveness. From Kazakhstan – the Gateway to Eurasia, to EFTA – premium high‑income markets, and the EU – new FTA negotiations, Thailand is positioning its exports to meet international standards.
The world is fully entering the Net Zero and Digital Economy era — clean energy, future foods, and high‑value industries are the new drivers of growth. Thailand can leverage its strengths in agriculture and food, combined with new technologies, to build a competitive edge in the global market.
For Thailand, 2026 is the golden year of proactive adaptation — a year that will define the future of global trade.
