Background

Myanmar is rich in natural resources, yet its national energy structure and power supply have long faced challenges. Hydropower serves as the primary source of electricity in Myanmar, accounting for over half of the total power generation, followed by natural gas. However, this energy structure is highly dependent on seasonal variations and region-specific resources, leading to unstable and regionally uneven power supply across the country.

In 2023, Myanmar's grid electricity supply remained severe. Particularly in the location of this project, the grid could only provide about two hours of electricity per day. This situation is a microcosm of the conditions in many rural and industrial areas of Myanmar: major cities frequently experience scheduled power cuts, while regions with weak grid coverage suffer from long-term "energy poverty" in both industrial operations and daily life. A stable power supply has become one of the most pressing bottlenecks restricting local socio-economic development.

This reality creates vast opportunities for distributed and renewable clean energy solutions. Utilizing localized, readily available biomass resources for off-grid or grid-connected power generation can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of the national grid, providing a stable and reliable electricity supply. Moreover, it serves as a crucial pathway toward promoting green and sustainable regional economic development.

Pioneering solution

Based on the challenging energy background in Myanmar, we have provided a groundbreaking, all-in-one solution that ensures a stable and sustainable power supply for the client's operations.

Our innovative system includes 12 sets of gasifiers specifically designed for rice husk waste, coupled with 12 sets of syngas purification equipment and 27 sets of 500kW gas power generator sets (including 3 standby units). A large gas storage tank is integrated to ensure stable pressure and continuous fuel supply to the generators.
This robust setup is designed to operate for over 8,000 hours annually, providing 24/7 electricity to the entire facility, which encompasses rice mill, feed mill, fish farm and etc.

Beyond solving the power crisis, the project fully embodies a circular economy model:
●The produced rice husk biochar is recycled as a fertilizer, returned to the paddy fields to improve soil health.
●The waste heat boiler captures excess heat from the generators to produce steam and hot water for other processes within the facility.

Furthermore, to maximize its environmental and economic benefits, our Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) department is actively pursuing carbon credits for this project. This initiative not only replaces grid dependency with green electricity but also creates a replicable model of clean, sustainable, and self-sufficient industrial power in Myanmar.

Key Customer Benefits

1.Energy Independence & Uninterrupted Production
Achieve 24/7 stable power, completely overcoming the limitation of only 2 hours of grid supply daily, and ensure continuous operation for rice, feed, and fish farming facilities.

2.Significant Reduction in Energy Costs
Utilize low-cost agricultural waste (rice husks) as fuel, replacing expensive and unreliable diesel or grid electricity, directly reducing operational costs.

3.Creation of Additional Revenue Streams
The by-product, rice husk biochar, can be sold or used as high-value fertilizer; recovered waste heat generates steam/hot water, saving further energy costs; future carbon credits offer potential direct revenue.

4.Enhanced Environmental Credentials & Compliance
Enable "zero-carbon" or "low-carbon" operations, establishing a model for green industry, enhancing brand reputation and international market competitiveness.

5.Achievement of a Circular Economy Model
Transform rice husks from waste to wealth: power generation, biochar production, and heating create a closed-loop system with 100% resource utilization, delivering both economic and environmental wins.
