The energy sector is currently facing different challenges. It is necessary for business leaders to understand the forthcoming changes that will affect their businesses in order to prepare themselves for any uncertainties and take advantage of new opportunities. This paper identifies changes that are expected to have an impact on Thailand’s energy system in the next 30 years and explores plausible scenarios for Thailand’s energy sector under such changes. The study starts with an examination of global and local circumstances. The examination pinpoints a focal issue as “to achieve sustainable development goals (SDG) by 2050”. Then, STEEP analysis is implemented to identify business drivers in social (S), technological (T), economical (E), ecological (E), and political (P) aspects. Subsequently, consultations with stakeholders are arranged to finalize the critical uncertainties. Policy and technology are fo

Monday, 25 January 2021 Bioenergy Europe welcomes the report by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission on the use of woody biomass for energy production in the EU. With the sustainability of biomass firmly at the center of media attention, the report calls for an honest and explicit discussion to “de-toxify the debate surrounding the sustainability of wood-based bioenergy.” The bioenergy industry reiterates its commitment to contribute towards this debate in a constructive manner, putting its data and know-how at the service of decision-makers and scientific community.
The study underlines that a swift and robust implementation of REDII sustainability criteria will effectively minimize negative impacts associated with the use of woody biomass for energy. For the implementation to be optimal, forest legislation and guidelines must be fit-for-purpose, properly enforced and monitored.
