Carbon Dioxide Emission from Human Activities: A Case Study of Watthana Nakhon Municipal District, Watthana Nakhon District, Sa Kaeo Province

Likhit Noichaisin

Abstract


This research aimed to study the greenhouse gases emission from two human activities; (1) energy consumption (2) food consumption. In research performed, the volume of greenhouse gases emission was assessed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). The study area was Watthana Nakhon municipal district, Watthana Nakhon district, Sa Kaeo Province. The results showed that carbon dioxide emission in the area of Watthana Nakhon municipal district  was 1.87 thousand metric tons CO2e/month. The emission resulted from energy consumption of 1.60 thousand metric tons CO2e /month and from the food consumption of 0.27 thousand metric tons CO2e /month. By considering activity type, energy consumption emitted more carbon dioxide than the food consumption especially electricity consumption and gasoline combustion. Based on the results, Watthana Nakhon municipal District should promote a campaign focusing energy saving in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well as to reduce household expense.
