Greenhouse Gas Inventory in Thailand

Abstract

In 1992, in preparation for the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, Thailand's first inventory of greenhouse gas emissions was completed with support from the Asian Development Bank. The 1991 version of the IPCC Methodology was used to calculate emissions. The COPATH model, developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was used in the forestry sector. The base year was 1989, but data on other years are included in the paper when available. The inventory focuses on carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and non-methane volatile organic compounds from energy, industry, agriculture, and forestry.
