Thai private and state sectors are working together to promote Thailand’s first use of ED95 fuel by large passenger buses.
The move is intended to help the country achieve its 15-year alternative energy development goal and become the world’s ethanol export center in the future.
The Energy Ministry and the Industry Ministry have signed an MOU on the pilot use of ethanol as fuel for large passenger buses.
The project is focusing on the utilization of ED95, a diesel-free fuel made up of 95 percent ethanol mixed with 5 percent additives.
Energy Minister Wannarat Channukul noted that Thailand’s daily fuel consumption currently stands at 70 million liters a day.
Of this, 50 million liters are diesel, and the remaining 20 million liters are benzene.
