Dear all:

 

Happy lunar new year.

 

I have to reiterate some points I had made to Chankrisna regarding a potential visit to Thailand.

 

1. I can't tell you it's ok to visit Thailand because while I, our staff, family and friends are all safe, there is ongoing and likely prolonged protests despite a general election this Sunday.

 

2. We could potentially have you visit Thu-Fri 6-7 Feb. We would need 1 full day to transport you to/from and show you some husk related sites.

 

3. I could recommend 2 hotels (in Bangna, out of city center to East, closer to BKK airport, near Riceland office) and 1 in the Eastern edge of city next to a Skytrain BTS station (would allow some distance away from protest area whilst still afford freedom to use public transportation):

Please let us know your itinerary. Thanks.

GE Engines to power Cambodian rice husk power project

By Anna Simet | July 17, 2012

GE and the Soma Group signed a gas engine supply contract during a U.S.-ASEAN Business Council and U.S. Chamber of Commerce-sponsored forum in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

 

GE Energy has signed a contract with Cambodian industrial conglomerate Soma Group to supply two of its engines to power a biomass gasification facility.

 

India-based Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies Pvt. Ltd is developing the facility for Soma, where rice husks will be converted into biogas to power two GE VHP 5904 Waukesha engines.  About 1.5 MW of electricity will be generated in total; part of the power will support the rice mill’s operations while surplus electricity will be sold to the local grid.
