On 25–26 March 2026, the King Prajadhipok’s Institute, in collaboration with King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, organized a participatory workshop on “Transforming Agricultural Waste into Biochar and Biogas for Sustainable Environmental Management.” The workshop was part of an ongoing research initiative aimed at promoting sustainable waste management solutions at the community level.

The program featured a series of expert-led sessions covering key topics, including the conversion of agricultural waste into biochar and biogas, policy frameworks supporting circular economy approaches, and sustainable environmental management practices. Delivered by project researchers and policy specialists, the sessions provided both technical insights and policy perspectives. The initiative emphasized key objectives: reducing pollution by minimizing open burning and lowering greenhouse gas emissions and PM2.5 levels; creating added value by converting waste into renewable energy and high-quality soil amendments; and promoting a circular economy that enhances income opportunities while reducing costs for local communities.
