Bid to add value to biofuels by using them as feedstocksFrom left Mr Kittiphong, Mr Sanchai and Mrs Arawadee share their optimism on biochemical production in Thailand at a webinar. PTT Plc and Bangchak Corporation Plc have vowed to help Thailand become a regional production base for high-value biochemical products in the post-pandemic period. Thailand wants to add value to biofuels by using them as feedstocks for the biochemical industry, which requires them to produce a range of products from food and medicine to personal care products such as cosmetics. BBGI chief executive Kittiphong Limsuwannarot said his firm is developing a 1.2-billion-baht synbio production factory. "Construction of BBGI's synbio facility began last year and it is scheduled to start operating in 2023," he said.
