Global Warming Potential of GHGs

Changes in shares of GHG emissions (between 2000 and 2035):

CO2: 58% to 82% CH4: 36% to 16% N2O: 5% to 2%

CO2 equivalent GHG:

316 million ton (2000) to 1,176 million (2035) ~ 3.7 times increase AAGR 3.8%

Among the Sources of GHG emissions, energy use is estimated to account for 57% of total GHG emissions in 2035 as compared to 54% in 2000.

Promotion of Bio-fuels in Transport sector and Their Impacts on Energy Systems and the Environment

  • Based on AIM/Enduse [Thailand]
  • Time period: 30 years (2000 to 2030)
  • 2 Types of biofuel considered: Gasohol and Biodiesel
  • Biofuels are considered only in transport sector
  • Thai Government’s roadmap of gasohol and biodiesel development and

promotion:

Gasohol roadmap:

  • Phase I: Replacement of MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) by ethanol from 2006
  • Phase II: 10% gasohol in all types of gasoline by 2007
  • Biodiesel roadmap:
  • Phase I: Introduction of biodiesel in targeted areas during 2006-2010
  • Phase II: Introduction of biodiesel nationwide from 2010

Scenario 1: (S1) The Base Case –- No biofuels Scenario 2: (S2) Government Plan

  • Based on the government biofuel plan and resources availability
  • Land limit for biodiesel production is 0.8 Million ha (5 Million Rais)

Scenario 3: (S3)High biofuel availability Scenario 5: (S5) Subsidy for gasohol 95

Fuel share in CO2 emission:

By 2030, industry and transport sectors combined contribute more than two-thirds of total CO2 emissions. Over time, share of transport increases (from 25% in 2000 to 28% in 2030) and share of industry sector falls (from 58% in 2000 to 45% in 2030).
