Thai workers check palms at a bio-diesel production factory in Ao Luek district, Krabi province, 814 kilometers from Bangkok, Southern Thailand, 09 June 2007. More than 60 per cent of Thailand's vehicles use diesel, because of the popularity of the one-ton pickup truck, but according to the Energy Minister, Piyasvasti Amranand, Thailand will enforce the mandatory use of bio-diesel at 10,000 petrol stations nationwide on 01 April 2008. As part of Thailand‘s efforts to reduce oil imports and assist in cutting carbon emissions and global warming, the kingdom plans to replace 20 per cent of its vehicle fuel consumption with renewable energy sources such as ethanol and palm oil within the next five
years. EPA/NARONG SANGNAK
