| Abstract | The energy demand is developed in this study in order to project final energy demand in Greater Bangkok Region (BMR) in the period of 2002 to 2030. The detailed end-use models are applied for the projection of final energy demands in different sectors those have adequate information and data. This study has focused on all sectors of energy demand, transport sector, industrial sector, commercial sector and residential sector forecasted until year 2030 and all the analyses under three economic 5 technological scenarios and 2 transport project scenarios. This study has been carried out using the Long range Energy Alternative Planning system (LEAP) model for the forecasting of energy demand and emission levels. This study also analyzes the pollutant emitted from all sector energy demand, their impacts on air quality with different alternative options. Total energy demand in 2030 would be 21,183.5 ktoe. Along with economic development, energy use in BMR would increase. The total energy demand by 2030 would be between 65,242.1and 98,083.2 ktoe for low and high economic growth respectively as compare to 21183.5 ktoe in 2020. Total emission of selected pollutant was more than 74,520.6 million kilograms in 2002, which about 86 % was C02; total emissions in 2030 are estimated to be about 4 times higher than those in 2002. Analysis of economic scenarios, high and low economic growth scenarios show that the total emission in 2030 would be between 249,841.9 and 370,061.5 million kilograms. For PMIO concentration for BMR compare with PM10 standard (50 tg/m3), but all of PM 10 concentration under all scenario are exceed standard that effect to healthy of that area people |
