On September 4, 2026, on the 5th floor of Sunee Grand Hotel, Northeastern 19 Provinces Federation of Industry held a meeting.Federation of Northeastern IndustriesNo. 1/2569, chaired by Mrs. Pimjai Lee-rai Nukul, President of the Federation of Thai Industries, and Mr. Phusit Noi Sopakul, Deputy Governor of Ubon Ratchathani Province, attended the meeting to welcome businessmen who are members of the Federation of Industries throughout the Northeast.

Mr. Adul NilpremThe Chairman of the Ubon Ratchathani Provincial Council of Industry revealed that one of the interesting matters that was raised at this meeting was the problem ofHigh Oil CrisisThis is due to the difficulty in importing in relation to the state of war that affects the people and the industry that causes the rising cost of energy.
.
In that case, cassava ethanol operators such as the Ubon Bioethanol Group presented to the meeting, trying to propose to the government to encourage its use.Oil E20in the country to reduce the impact of problems with foreign crude oil imports as well as to try to pushEthanolIt has moved on to the aerospace fuel industry, which is considered an environmentally friendly fuel and also helps to promote cassava and sugarcane growers well.
.
Mr. Adul said that in this case, he sees that both people and the industrial sector are currently faced with the ongoing price of oil, which is considered as a cost in both the industrial sector and people's livelihoods, causing a significant increase in the cost of living of people at this time. If the government has considered in the long term by encouraging the use of oil, whether it is E20 or E10, the opportunity to push Thailand out of the long-term pricey oil crisis is greater because the production of oil from domestic energy crops for its own use.In addition to reducing imports of crude oil from abroad, it also generates income for growers.มันสำปะหลังและอ้อยIt can be used to sustainably produce ethanol blended in E10 and E20 oils.

“I think that if we become self-reliant in the long run by focusing on domestic oil production from the energy crops that we grow ourselves, we can have oil wells that can be used by ourselves forever. Stability and energy security Our fuel will also reduce our dependence on oil from foreign fossils. In addition to the industrial sector promoting energy security, it will also promote the careers and incomes of farmers in a sustainable way. Some are concerned that the use of the E20 will only be possible for certain cars that are manufactured to support it.In such cases, if the government is serious, it can encourage the automobile manufacturing sector to come out and support more of this fuel.
.
And I am afraid that if the campaign is used extensively, the production of energy crops such as sugarcane and cassava will not be enough. In this regard, I think that if the relevant government agencies such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Department of Farmers Promotion and the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Irrigation, play a role in promoting and supporting the concentration of more productive farmers. Energy crop production is stable to feed into the production process. I think it will be more than we have underground oil wells. Because it will make energy crop growers sustainable income.
.
However, regarding this matter, it is known that the Ministry of Energy has invited representatives of tapioca ethanol producers to provide information before considering any measures in the future, ”said the Chairman of the Ubon Ratchathani Provincial Industrial Council.
