    In Thailand, the use of biomass for electricity generation has been implemented with incineration technology for many years. However, recent reports indicate that electricity demand is still high and biomass power plant is one of the key factors for electricity management. The major purpose of this research paper is to analyze the energy, economic and environmental features of biomass power plant for the national sustainable development strategy. An existing 9.9 MW biomass power plant located in Suphanburi is selected as the case study to assess thermal combustion for electricity generation. The in-house operations of biomass-based power plant and the process flow of energy in terms of electricity generation using agricultural wastes and forestry residues are provided. Different expenses like capital cost, processing cost, and transportation cost and the major revenue from the sale of electricity are taken into consideration. Five environmental factors (air, sound, water, ash, and transportation) of biomass power plant for sustainability are investigated. Findings from this research project indicate that incineration is a suitable technology for biomass-based electricity generation with considerable profit for all stakeholders.

    The environmental impact of electricity generation is becoming more critical as electricity consumption continues to increase. This is because the world's population is growing very fast and modern communities use large amounts of electric power. This paper presents the assessment and management of environmental risk of 7.5 and 9.9 MW biomass power plants in Thailand. Three environmental factors (air, sound, and water) have been examined in this research project. In the environmental analysis, comparisons of measured environmental data from the sites and environmental standards by USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and Thailand's PCD (Pollution Control Department) are performed. This research project focuses on sustainability that impacts economic, social, and environment aspects by communities, companies, and individuals. The sustainable development of the research project can lead to a coherent and long-term balance between these three aspects. Recent findings from the environmental monitoring system revealed that quality levels of all three environmental factors are under the standards. It is implied that these two biomass power plants do not negatively affect the environment and satisfy the essential needs of humanity.
