11-4-2019–Energy Minister disclosed after Songkrant Greeting at Energy Ministry yesterday(10Apil) that European and American automakers still do not accept biodiesel B10, causing the standard announcement plan to be upgraded from B7 to B10 in every gas station.The Energy Minister pushed B10 as an alternative to absorb 2.6 million tons of CPO. Minister Siri accepted that he was”sleepless” concerns about palm oil prices are still falling after try very hard.
Mr. Siri Chiraphongphan, Minister of Energy, said that from discussions with various car makers today to drive the use of B10 substitutes for B7 to help absorb crude palm oil (CPO) help farmers to raise palm prices. Found that European and US automakers have not accepted the use of B10 in the matter. this It is the story of each car that will declare their own reasons.
However, Japanese car makers have accepted after the Japan Automobile Industry Association (JAMA) says that cars can use B10 but have to adjust the production system of B100 to be of quality to be accepted.
Therefore, the sale of biodiesel Therefore can not add all the ingredients from B7 to B10 in May, but B10 will be an alternative oil The meeting of the Energy Policy Administration Committee (MOF) will discuss how to promote, for example, the pricing of B10 to be lower than B7, which is proposed that the price should be cheaper than 1 baht / liter.
“Each gas station will consider that What will be sold both B7, B10 and B20, which have to admit that the pump will have too many fuel types, in the future will try to support B10 as the most versatile oil If using both B10 and B20 as much as planned, it will absorb 2.5-2.6 million tons of CPO. From this year, Thailand will have 3 million tons of CPO production, “Energy Minister said.
Mr. Siri admited that he does not understand the palm product market and can’t sleep Because of the past, the energy sector is accelerating to absorb the CPO both used to produce oil and used in Bangpakong power plant But found that the price of crude palm oil is even lower from last week 2.40 baht / kg to about 1.90-2.00 baht / kg this week.
However, thanks to Ms. Chutima Bunyaprapasorn, Minister of Commerce That confirms that the purchase process of the palm by EGAT does not have “robber” that is benefited by the Ministry of Energy intending to solve the problem The sale must be signed by the farmer. By purchasing CPO at 18 baht / kg to help pull the price of palm fruit not less than 3 baht / kg, but the purchasing mechanism must require the Ministry of Commerce to jointly oversee by EGAT to receive delivery The total of 1.6 hundred thousand tons of CPO to be stored in the warehouse by the end of April and Bangpakong Power Plant will be gradually used in June.
According to JAMA’s proposal, specify the B100 production plant must adjust the standard of the monoglyceride to reduce from not more than 0.7 percent to not more than 0.4 percent by weight and the refinery must adjust the diesel standard, the water content from the original is not more than 300 ppm is not more than 200 ppm in which only 100 factories in Thailand have produced such standards, only 20-25%, therefore every factory must gradually adjust production to meet such standards.
