| Abstract | Emission Inventory (EI) is a powerful tool created for dealing with environmental problems, management strategies and measurements. Since Thailand did not have non-road emission standards, EI fulfilled the necessity for an emission tool for regulatory strategies.This study focused on developing non-road emission inventory covered four activity sectors; agricultural, construction, industrial and railroad system in year 2016, excluding gardening engines, marine industry, and aircraft industry. This EI built mainly with the collection of national level primary and secondary data. A combination of top-down, secondary data from national level organization and bottom up, surveys, approaches were utilized. The data from both surveys and data collection based largely on activities ineach sector. The information consisted of fuel consumption, engine specification, and engine population. Following the EI development, temporal variations and spatial distribution were applied with Geographic Information System (GIS) and Application Program to Thailand’s area. Total pollutants in 4 sectors for non-road emission in Thailand in year 2016 resulted as followed: BC =5kt, CO = 43kt, HC =15kt, NOx = 118kt, OC =3kt, and PM =12kt. Agricultural: BC =0.13 kt, CO = 10.16 kt, HC =21 kt, NOx = 11.14 kt, OC =0.31 kt, and PM =0.75 kt. Industrial sector was the largest contributor to non-road engine emission in Thailand. In comparison with GAINS EI, construction and railroad system were equitant to GAINS (2015) estimation. Agricultural and agricultural GAINS EI were substantially differs because GAINS EI included open burning activities. The monthly non-road emission was also available for all sectors while the spatial distribution of non-road emission showed the highest emission level of al pollutants are in Bangkok and Northeast of Thailand. |
