Thailand's demand side management initiative: a practical response to global warming and Som thaw in Patanavanich Introduction

ABSTRACT

Today, Thailand's power sector accounts for nearly 33 per cent of the country's total carbon dioxide (C 02) emissions. During the next decade, the power sector will surpass transportation as the major source of COz emissions in Thailand. By the year 2011, we project that the sector will account for 43 per cent of Thailand's C 0 2 emissions.
