Fast-growing trees for energy project

The "Fast-Growing Trees for Energy" project focuses on planting various fast-growing tree species, such as Leucaena leucocephala, Giant Leucaena, Narong Leucaena, Eucalyptus, Mahogany, and Rain Tree. The project involves planting and harvesting in rotation every 2-5 years to use as a sustainable renewable energy source for the alternative energy business within the cogeneration group. Additionally, it contributes to increasing green spaces and reducing global warming.
This project has been in operation since 2007. Currently, there is a total of 3,219 Rais of fast-growing trees planted, with ages ranging from 1 to 5 years, in the Lamphun and Lampang provinces. Over 859,473 trees have been planted so far.
In addition to promoting renewable energy, this project also provides economic and social benefits to local communities. It creates employment for over 200 people annually and generates income for farmers in the area, totaling more than 1,000,000 baht per year. This project is therefore an important approach that helps drive the local economy while simultaneously contributing to sustainable environmental conservation.
