Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Professor Dr. Yoschanin Wongsawat, along with Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Miss Piyarat Chaiyaphruek, visited Chiang Rai Province to follow up on the progress of the "No Burn, Wallet" project under the PMUC Zero Burn to Earn initiative, which aims to address the burning of agricultural waste through economic mechanisms. The project builds on the success in Chiang Mai Province two months ago and aims to expand across the North and the entire country. The key mechanism is creating a market for purchasing agricultural waste, with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation collaborating with five private companies: Precision Corporation Public Company Limited, Sahacogen Green Company Limited, Green Leaf Power Company Limited, EPC Sustainable Energy Company Limited, and Siam Wattana Company Limited. Under a one-year cooperation, agreements have been signed to purchase a total of 40,000 tons of agricultural waste, valued at over 30 million baht per year, to be processed into biomass pellets, mechanical pulp for packaging, biochar, and fiber insulation. In the first four months of the project, from eight pilot routes, 330,000 kilograms of waste have been brought into the system, helping reduce PM2.5 dust by approximately 270 kilograms. For the five-year goal, the project aims to expand coverage across the North, bringing a total of 200,000 tons of waste into the system, generating over 3 billion baht in economic value, and reducing cumulative PM2.5 dust by approximately 1.6 million kilograms.
