Aims at reducing HCFC consumption in the air-conditioning and foam sectors. This is a grant of USD $23 million administered by the World Bank.
Voluntary scheme that attaches a ‘green label’ to specific products. Products must be manufactured or assembled by ISO 9002 certified plants, quality control plant according to the test method number 5.6.1, or certified by other standardized tests of product quality that may be set in the future. Products must also be manufactured, transported and disposed of in a manner meeting requirements of all applicable governmental acts and regulations.
Sets carbon intensity from power sector targets: Amount of carbon dioxide emission per unit (kgCO2/kWh): 2021 – 0.399; 2026 – 0.370; 2030 – 0.342; and 2036 – 0.319 Amount of carbon dioxide emission per annum (thousand tons of CO2): 2021 – 93,689; 2026 – 98,950; 2030 – 99,822; and 2036 – 104,075 To achieve these targets, the Plan sets target shares of energy consumption for individual energy sources to be reached in the sector: Imported hydro power: 10-15% (2026), 15-20% (2036) Clean coal including lignite: 20-25% (2026), 20-25% (2036) Renewable energy including hydro: 10-20% (2026), 15-20% (2036) Natural gas: 45-50% (2026), 30-40% (2036) Nuclear: 0% (2026), 0-5% (2036) Diesel/Fuel: 0% (2026), 0% (2036)
Emphasizes importance of improving power system reliability, reducing dependence on natural gas power generation, increasing clean coal technology deployment, and developing renewable energy. Focuses on: Energy Security: coping with the increasing power demand to correspond to National Economic and Social Development Plan and taking into account fuel diversification Economy: maintaining an appropriate cost of power generation for long-term economic competitiveness Ecology: lessening carbon dioxide intensity of power generation. Thailand Power Development Plan (2015-2036)
Aims to support fossil fuel management in line with the goals of the Energy Efficiency Plan (EEP) and Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP 2015), while taking into account the environment and potential risks to the country’s energy security. Sets five key management principles and details each with proposed measures: Support measures to save fuel in the transportation sector Promote optimal type of fuel according to uses Restructuring prices of fuel to reflect cost of pollution, road damage and other externalities Enhance ethanol and biodiesel consumption Encourage investment in the fuel infrastructure
Establishes the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) as regulatory body for the energy industry, with the following authority and duties: ensure security and reliability of the power system; inspect the energy industry operations of licensees to ensure efficiency and transparency; promote knowledge and awareness in relation to energy; promote and support human resources development in order to increase efficiency in the energy industry; promote economical and efficient use of energy and the use of renewable energy and low-impact energy, with due consideration of the efficiency of the electricity industry operations and the balance of natural resources.
Requires large-scale energy businesses, e.g. those in the electricity, oil and natural gas industry, to implement energy conservation promotion measures to encourage their customers to reduce energy use by a specified minimum standard (Energy Efficiency Resource Standards: EERS), instead of allowing such measures to be voluntarily undertaken as previously practiced.
Aims to reduce energy elasticity (the percentage change in energy consumption to achieve 1% change in national GDP) from an average of 0.98 in the past 20 years to 0.7 in the next 20 years.
Prioritizes the transportation sector for energy efficiency conservation measures.
By 2030, reduce energy intensity by 25%, compared with 2005 levels.
Requires “designated” factories and buildings to conduct energy audits and set targets for energy conservation. Establishes the Energy Conservation Promotion Fund to finance projects and research related to energy conservation.
Establishes the Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO), which serves as the Designated National Authority for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in Thailand. It reviews CDM projects for approval and provides technical assistance.
