BANGKOK - Thailand emitted 247.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide last year, up 1.5 per cent year on year as the country’s economy recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic, the Energy Policy and Planning Office said on Sunday.
The transport sector emitted 79.6 million tonnes of CO2 last year, up 14.9 per cent year-on-year, while businesses and households emitted 13.7 million tonnes of CO2, up 8.4 per cent year-on-year, Mr Wattanapong said. Thailand emits less CO2 than other countries because it promotes the use of renewable energy as part of an energy-policy framework that aims to minimise environmental impacts, he said.
