One of Mitr Phol’s commitments to return some good deeds to the society today is to integrate a bio-mass development plan into the sugar development strategies. With the expertise of our employees and the new technology on today’s business, bagasse waste from sugar production is brought back to serve as fuel for production of steam and electricity. The energy obtained from this process is partially utilized in the sugar production process and other businesses of Mitr Phol, i.e. particle board and ethanol. The excess power is exported to national grid for further distribution to local communities. By 2009, we can export 76 megawatt.

| Power for Clean Development Mechanism |
| |
| Dan Chang Bio-Energy Cogeneration Project and Phu Khieo Bio-Energy Project are among the very few Thai projects that pioneer for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the mechanism to promote sustainable development under the Kyoto Protocol. The two cases have already been registered by UNFCCC and are proceeding for carbon reduction certification (carbon credit) of 200,000 tons per year.
