As a pioneer in agricultural sustainability, Mitr Phol Group is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of Thai sugarcane. Guided by the vision "Sugarcane Energizes the World," Mitr Phol elevates this remarkable crop from native soil into a vital force powering the planet across three essential dimensions.
Energy for a Clean Environment and National Stability
The story of sugarcane begins as "oil on land"—a renewable, home-grown energy source native to Thailand. By converting sugarcane molasses into high-grade ethanol for gasohol blends, it actively reduces vehicular emissions on public roads.
As ASEAN's leading ethanol producer with a capacity of 500 million liters annually, Mitr Phol helps slash Thailand's refined oil imports by 350 million liters per year. Looking ahead, this green foundation is expanding into next-generation frontiers, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and high-value raw materials for the pharmaceutical and beauty industries.
Beyond ethanol, Mitr Phol operates 22 biomass power plants with a total capacity of over 700 megawatts annually, supplying clean electricity to industrial sectors and households across Thailand. This offsets national fossil fuel imports by over 3,000 million units, or approximately 8% of total 2024 imports, while generating 1,000,000 tCO2e per year in carbon credits and 1,000,000 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) annually—serving as a vital gear in driving Thailand toward its Net Zero 2050 target.
Energy That Brings Smiles to Everyday Life
Sugarcane innovations meet people's diverse lifestyles and everyday self-care needs. It starts with pure sugar, flavored syrups, and healthy sugar alternatives that serve as key ingredients for business owners, chefs, and consumers to create their favorite meals, baked goods, and drinks—allowing everyone to enjoy their favorite tastes with happiness and peace of mind.
From food, this extends into health and personal care. Natural prebiotic fibers extracted from sugarcane help restore gut health from within, while botanical sugarcane extracts are formulated into gentle skincare products that nourish skin without harsh chemicals.
For environmentally conscious consumers embracing an eco-living lifestyle, sugarcane fibers and cassava are reimagined as 100% bio-based packaging. Capable of fully biodegrading back into natural nutrients within just six months, these materials turn everyday waste into a gift back to the Earth.
Energy Driving Societal Growth
Behind every technological breakthrough and megawatt of clean power, Mitr Phol's ultimate commitment remains "Growing Together with Society." To Mitr Phol, a sugarcane harvest is far more than a commercial commodity; it is an economic engine that stimulates industrial employment, strengthens local supply chains, and distributes wealth directly back to rural communities.
Delivered directly to local communities, this stability becomes a driving force for sustainable growth and happiness—strengthening household economies, supporting education, and nurturing healthy, abundant surroundings for local environments.
Most importantly, this approach creates sustainable careers for more than 120,000 people, including farmers, laborers, and suppliers in the ecosystem. Through hands-on training in modern farming, yield optimization, and sustainable land management, farmers are equipped for long-term independence. Programs like the sugarcane leaf purchasing initiative—targeting over 4 million tons collected by 2026—provide farmers with supplemental income while eliminating crop burning practices, clearing the air of pollution and securing a resilient future for Thailand's grassroots economy.
From a single crystal of sugar dissolved in a morning cup to the clean energy fueling national economies and protecting our environment... sugarcane has proven itself to be an agricultural marvel for the modern era. It is a pure, earth-born energy that Mitr Phol Group is proud to cultivate—enriching lives today while building a brighter, more sustainable world for tomorrow.
