HIV temple plans biomass power plant

Thailand's first biomass power plant, fuelled by the fast-growing taramba tree and operated by A Plus Power Co, is expected to be operational early next year.

Workers supervise the loading of taramba chips at the biomass plant near Wat Phra BatNam Phu, in Lop Buri province.

The 1.8-megawatt gasification biomass plant started its development in 2008, and aims to help debt-ridden farmers living nearby the hospital, said founder Phra Alongkot Dikkapanyo.
