Abstract: In this study, we provide a sample conceptual design and explanation of existing biogas plants that can be attached to various kinds of plants that release wastewater with suitable amounts of chemical oxygen demand. Financial information was collected and analysed in terms of investment costs, operational costs and historical data of electricity generation from biogas. The results show that in order to promote biogas business in Thailand, the government should provide feed-in-tariff (FiT) remuneration of 5 baht/KWh when contract capacity is 0.02-2 MW. When contract capacity is increased to >2 MW, but 4 MW, the government need not provide any FiT remuneration
