| Abstract | This research analyzed pattern in energy demand and CO2 emission and analyzed potential solution of energy demand and CO2 emission reduction in transport sector in Bangkok. An econometric model is used to estimate the trend of energy demand and CO2 emission from 2011-2050 based on historical data. Fuel switching and energy efficiency scenarios have been used to analyze a solution for reducing energy consumption and CO2 emission in Bangkok compared with the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. The results shown that alternate policy scenario can reduce the energy demand and CO2 emission differently. The fuel switching options could significantly reduce the level of CO2 emission, whereas the energy efficiency options are more effective for reduction both of energy demand and CO2 emissions. Both scenarios shown that the consumption of petroleum product and electricity have been dominated over the study periods. As a result, it is indicated the close linkage between final energy consumption and CO2 emission. Under alternate policy scenario, energy demand and CO2 emission in Bangkok would be reduced by 3.58 and 2.76 % respectively from business-as-usual scenario in 2050 in accordance with objective of the study. |
