| Abstract | Global warming and climate change are the critical energy sector challenges, due to the increase of population, economic growth, energy demands and the growing awareness of climate change. In the past twenty years, Thailand has encouraged private sector to generate energy from biomass, as an important source of renewable energy, in order to control the emission of greenhouse gases and responsible for climate change. However, some biomass power plants in the Middle Region of Thailand have resulted in negative environmental impacts and social problems. This study aimed to explore the key problems and barriers hindering biomass power generation in Thailand and find out appropriate strategies to address biomass problems and sustainability barriers in the future. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and Critical Systems Heuristic (CSH) are applied through interview, participant observation and focus group in the process of information gathering among relevant stakeholders. Two biomass power plants in Pichit Province and Uthai Thani Province are chosen as case studies. The results reveals that the key problems of renewable energy using biomass as power generation are environmental injustices and public resistance. This research found that the factor guaranteeing future success for sustainable renewable energy development was public support. People should be allowed to participate in every stage of energy policy development. In addition, the government, therefore, had to understand their behaviour, the relationships among different groups of people, and the differences of local cultures in order to develop appropriate public participation for different circumstances and areas. The findings have both theoretical and practical contributions. In terms of the theoretical contribution, the applications of systemic approach provide a significant contribution to the body of knowledge surrounding biomass problem solving. For the practical implications, the findings suggest strategies to address biomass problems and barriers. |
