The company aims to play a leading role in steering the country towards the global mega-trend of being environmentally friendly. The disclosure at Thursday's online press conference also comes at a time when the company is preparing to list on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and launch its first initial public offering (IPO) next week. The firm's earnings at present are derived from three biomass power generation plants in Surat Thani province. To generate electricity, the plants burned agricultural waste such as palm leaves and wood chips from rubber farms. The biomass power plants have a total capacity of 29.7 megawatts.
