Mitr Phol Bio-Power is part of Mir Phol Group’s renewable energy business. We produce bio-power and steam from bagasse and other farming byproducts to use in our sugar mills and other factories within the Mitr Phol Group.  
An excess power is also sold to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and the Provincial Electricity Authority to distribute to homes and communities.

Raw material sourcing and management
Mitr Phol Group’s bio-power plants use raw materials that are derived from farming byproducts. The main raw material used is bagasse from sugar production. For every ton of cane pressed, 0.25 ton or 25% is bagasse. The bio-power plants also source other types of fuels including sugarcane leaves, husks, bark and rice straw. The sourcing of these raw materials not only generates additional income for local farmers, but also protects the ecosystem and the environment.
