this is an educational presentation of bio diesel and how the King Rama 9 was the first to discover it. This also shows Thailand's advances and how great their king was.

3. What was the problem?

4. • The problem was that the normal diesel price was expensive especially for
farmers who need it for the farm. The new tractors needed to run on
something. The country’s economic growth also was bad due to the diesel
price. The king went on to do some research on agricultural produce on
energy , he studied that some plants can be transformed into a clean
combustible energy resource for the the tractors thanks from the researchers
at the prince of Songkla. They predicted that PALM OIL can be converted into
fuel.

5. The solution

6. • A report prepared by researchers at Prince of Songkhla University and presented to the HM the King in 2000 showed, as His Majesty had
predicted, that palm oil could be converted into a combustible form through a process called trans-esterification, in which palm oil is turned into
methyl ester, a combustible compound capable of driving a diesel engine.
• Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn saw for herself biodiesel drive agricultural machinery during a visit toward the end of
2000 to a royally initiated palm oil mill at the Pikul Thong Royal Development Study Center in Narathiwat. And in 2001, the Chaipattana
Foundation, a charitable organization of which HM the King is honorary president and Sumet the secretary-general, began funding biodiesel
projects.
• The first step to producing a home-grown alternative to petroleum was to turn out industrial quantities of crude palm oil (CPO). In 2002, an
11.3-million-baht mill, capable of producing 50 tons of CPO per month, was built at the Ao Luek Land Settlement Cooperatives in Krabi. The
plant is fed by oil palms grown on 25,000 rai of land that is worked by 3,700 farmers.
• The next stage was to build biodiesel plants to convert large quantities of raw palm oil into a combustible form. In 2003, two biodiesel plants
were built, one at Pikul Thong, capable of producing 400 liters per day, and a second at Prince of Songkhla University (PSU) that is capable of
producing 1,000 liters of biodiesel per day.

7. • The king Rama 9 HM came up with a solution of using agricultural resources
to create a type of fuel that can replace normal diesel and is advanced in a
way. The king looked towards palm oil and thought “what if it can be turned
into gasoline” just like gasohol the created asked the university of prince
songkla in the next slide. The King successfully created something very
helpful and stable increasing Thailand’s economy by farming ( tractors ) and
peoples lives,
