Thailand has a CO2 emissions in 2019 at an average of 1.89 KtCO2/ 1 KTOE of energy use,
which is a relatively low rate compared to the average of Europe countries and Asian
countries.which are in the range of 2.02 - 3.05 KtCO2/ 1 KTOE of energy use.

 Conclusion
• The government has promoted the use of renewable
energy, such as
– Use biofuels instead diesel and benzene.
– Use renewable energy in electricity generation.
• renewable energy is environmentally friendly and does
not cause air pollution.
