| Abstract | The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions built up in the atmosphere increases the surface temperature which worsen the climate change. Industrial activities play an important role in the global GHG emissions from energy sector. However, estimation of GHG emission from small and medium scale industries is not available. This study assesses the GHG emissions and greenhouse gas emission reduction in selected small and medium scale industries in selected Indonesia and Thailand. A detailed energy audit was conducted in three SMis in Indonesia: one dyeing factory and two tofu factories. The estimation of C02 emission by IPCC-based method in dyeing factory, medium scale tofu factory and small scale tofu factory was found to be 1804.6 ton of CO:Jyear, 184.3 ton of C02/year and 4.3 ton of CO:v'year respectively. In dyeing factory, the C02 mitigation potential achievable by implementing simple energy conservation measures was estimated as 3.3%. In small and medium tofu factory, 13.5 % and 6.7% C02 reduction may be achieved. Actual measurement of C02 and CO emission was conducted in dyeing and medium scale tofu factories. Comparison between IPCC and actual method showed similar result for C02 emission, while it was different for CO emission. The energy-GHG audit procedure obtained from institutional sources was used as audit data from Indonesia and Thailand. Based on facto1ywise classification, the highest C02/unit in SMis in Indonesia and Thailand is given by a batik factories (code 3 2117) and finished textile industry (32118). Based on subsectorwise classification, the subsector emitting the highest C02/unit product among audited SMI sub sectors in Indonesia is batik sub sector (code 3 2117) and in Thailand is finished textile subsector. Based on sectorwise classification, the highest average C02 emission/unit product is given by textile sector in SMis both in Thailand and Indonesia. The analysis of institutional data using specific energy consumption and C02/unit product indicates that C02 emission mitigation potential should focus on textile sector while the analyses based on energy intensity and C02 emission/value added shows that C02 emission should focus on food and beverages sector and chemical product sector. In small industries in Indonesia, the highest contribution to C02 emission is by food and beverages sector (467.1 ton of C02/year) based on energy consumption data. The comparison between C02 emitted from small industries and total industrial sector (in Indonesia) shows that the contribution of small Industries is about 2% of the C02 emitted due to fuel combustion in industrial sector. |
