Overcoming Policy, Market and Technological Barriers to Support
Technological Innovation and South-South Technology Transfer:
GEF / UNIDO / KMUTT
The Global Environment Facility (GEF)
United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT)
OVERCOMING POLICY, MARKET AND TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIER S TO SUPPORT TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND SOUTH-SOUTH TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER:
THE PILOT CASE OF ETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM CASSAVA
Location: Thailand, Viet Nam and Laos PDR (South-South Cooperation)
Project partner(s): - National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA)
under the Ministry of Science and Technology, Thailand
- Food Industries Research Intitute (FIRI), Vietnam
- Interested ethanol producers in Thailand and CLMV
Project Objective: Removing barriers, and creating conducive environment, to promote
ethanol technology and South-South technology transfer
COMPONENTS Component 1 Technology improvement and institutional capacity strengthening - one institution and one package of improved technology developed for ethanol production processes from cassava - A hub established to be cassava-ethanol information clearing house and support south - south TT - Database on ethanol technology developed, maintained and disseminated by Thailand hub
Component 2 South-South technology transfer: Capacity building and policy dialogue with participants from LMV - Trainings organized for local farmers, technicians, entrepreneurs from LMV in Thailand - Improved Pricing Practices and Policy Environment
Component 3 Technology transfer, Commercialization of improved technologies and private sector development - One pilot plant established to implement improved technologies and to be a training facility to support South-South TT -Technical training/learning centre established in Vietnam to disseminate and provide trainings of the technology package in Viet Nam - Financing opportunities improved to support TT - At least one production line in plant established in Vietnam

Cassava bioethanol: The Thai experience
- National policy
- Bioethanol from cassava
Ethanol Production Cost in Thailand
Source:
WeerapatSessomboon, 2012
Raw material cost: Cassava roots
Production cost: Technology
Raw materials: Increasing Root Productivity
Improved varieties + Cost-effective agricultural practices = High productivity
Increase yields / Lower production cost of roots
Cassava feedstocks
Root Chip
Starch Pulp
Sun drying
Mechanical
extraction
Residue waste
Cassava bioethanol: multi-form of feedstock
Raw materials Advantages Disadvantages
Starch - Easy to stock and transport - Easy to adjust total solid content in fermenter
- High feedstock cost - Less nutrients
Chip - Extended shelf-life - Can be stored - Easy to transport
- Higher cost than fresh roots - Must be dried before stored - High soil & sand contamination - Limit to high solid content for HG/ VHG*
Root - Low cost during harvest - Easy to remove soil & sand - Contain some nutrients
- Not available for whole year - Cannot stock / short shelf-life - Difficult to adjust total dry solid content in fermenter - Limit to high solid content for HG/ VHG
*High Gravity and Very High Gravity with Total soluble solids 230 – 280 g/L and > 300g/L, respectively
