Thailand's manufacturing sector emits more CO2 annually, driven by rising energy intensity, calling for policies to curb emissions.
An analysis looked at why carbon emissions from manufacturing in Thailand have been increasing since the 1990s. They studied changes in how much carbon is being produced and how intense it is. Over the years, both carbon emissions and intensity went up each year. The kind of things being made affected emissions, but what's more important is how industries are using energy – especially coal and electricity. These factors are raising carbon emissions. To help reduce emissions, it's necessary to make industries use less coal and cut down on electricity. By focusing on this, Thailand can play its part in reducing carbon emissions worldwide.
