Renewable Energy Asia 2009

Over the past 15 years the Thai government has strongly promoted Renewable Energy technology in all its forms. 2011 has been set as the target date for ensuring that 8% of the nation's energy production is derived from these sources. This presents tremendous opportunities for all businesses associated with these areas. Green power is the future and whether you're involved in biomass, ethanol, wind, hydro or solar power, now is the time to capitalise on the many government-mandated programs being implemented in Thailand. Renewable Energy is also taking off in a big way in other South East Asian countries. Hydro-power already provides over 50% of Vietnamz's local electric capacity and that percentage is growing year by year. It is estimated that over US$20 million in investment is needed.
