EC-ASEAN COGEN Programme Phase III
Proven, Clean & Efficient Biomass, Coal, Gas Cogeneration
Cogen 3 Programme
• is the third phase of the European Commission (EC)-ASEAN
cooperation programme
• promotes the implementation of Proven, Clean and Efficient
Biomass, Coal and Gas cogeneration projects by facilitating
business partnerships between EU suppliers and ASEAN
industries
• The Full-Scale Demonstration Project (FSDP) – a grant of 15%
of the cost of the equipment will be given to a project that
qualifies as FSDP. An FSDP is a showcase in ASEAN aiming to
convince other potential end-users to select the appropriate
technology in order to replicate successes.

Cogeneration
Cogeneration (Combined Heat and
Power or CHP) is the simultaneous
production of electricity and heat,
both of which are used.

The rich, fertile soil of Central Cambodia provides optimal
environment for growing Neang Malis rice

Angkor Rice’s carefully selected planting area is in four provinces
in Central Cambodia: Kandal, Kampong Speu, Takeo and Kampot

The region’s (central Cambodia) naturally fertile and sandy soil
enables farmers to grow Angkor Rice’s premium-quality Neang
Malis rice in a traditional way without chemicals.

More than 25,000 families are Angkor Rice’s members and growing
Neang Malis rice. There are no middlemen. Angkor Rice sets a
high standard. The Agriculture Division distributes high quality
seeds and instructs the farmers in planting rice.

Proposed Rice Husk-Fired Cogeneration Power Plant
Angkor Rice Mill
• Steam turbine system with 1 MW electric capacity
• Present capacity of the mill is 10 tons/hour. Proposed
expansion of another 10 tons/hour
• Rice husk will be used as fuel
• Two scenarios:
– steam has no value
– steam has value equal to 50% of the cost for steam
generation in a boiler using fuel oil
• Excess Electricity exported to other customers
• Utilization of heat for drying

Cogen3 Pre-evaluation and Recommendations
• Project seems feasible
• Further investigations are recommended, concerning:
– detailed design (electricity capacity of steam turbine,
utilization of capacity)
– necessary investment
– real value of steam (benefits of drying using steam)
– necessary investment in drying process
– necessary investment in electricity distribution grid
– all issues, (especially government regulations) related to
selling of electricity to other parties
• Requires a full feasibility study and investigation

Benefits of the Rice-Husk Cogeneration
Power Plant
Environmental Benefits
• Less pollution
• Uses rice husk, which is considered an agricultural
waste
Economic Benefits
• Savings (electricity production)
• Income generating (selling excess electricity, ash
sales)
• Generates job
• Saves on fuel, no foreign currency needed

Opportunities in Cambodia
Biomass – opportunities in rice mill, rubber processing
plants, palm oil refinery
Gas – gas supply in Cambodia is in the exploratory
stage. If gas is available, there will be opportunities
in Buildings (hotels, restaurants, hospitals, schools,
offices, supermarkets,etc.) and Industries (cement,
pharmaceuticals, garments)
