Thailand’s greenhouse gas emission ratesIn the case of normal operations All regions and branches, for a total of 318.66 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. (MtCO2e), of which 61.175 million tons were released by the transport sector, which accounted for 25.82% of the energy sector’s total greenhouse gas emissions, or 19.2% of Thailand’s total greenhouse gas emissions.
Ministry of Transport ofOffice for Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) He prepared the country’s action plan for the reduction of greenhouse gases for the years 2021-2030 in the transport sector. To support the country’s greenhouse gas reduction target of 20% or 111 million tons by 2030, the OTP has prepared an action plan for the transport sector.capable of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 2030 by 41 million tons It is a measure to increase the energy efficiency of transport by 31 million tons and a measure to use biofuels for vehicles by 10 million tons.

during the implementation of the above action plan There is an important issue that will be driven through the ASI or “avoid-change-improve” approach, which is the principle used to create sustainable transport change. reduce the consumption of ecological energy and accessible to all with the development of infrastructures and services with 3 components as follows:
1. Reduce (avoid / reduce) encourage people to avoid travel or reduce unnecessary travel distances by integrating urban planning and adequate transport planning
2. Edit (Shift / Keep) Use more efficient and environmentally friendly modes of transport, including public transport. and motorized travel
3. Develop (Enhance) Measures to improve the efficiency of vehicles and the use of existing infrastructure, such as promoting the use of electric cars and bicycles

In addition, the Ministry of Transport has plans to improve and develop energy efficiency in the transport sector, such as the modification of electric trucks. Procurement of electric diesel locomotives
Pichet Kunathammarak Director General of the Department of Railway Transport (Khor.) revealed that it has discussed with railway operators from all sectors to ask for collaboration each year for the determination of environmental indicators Collect statistics on the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the last year and evaluate performance each year.
“Right now, rail operators are becoming increasingly active to continue collecting carbon credits.”
