Energy Intensity (Compare with Developing Countries)
Thailand’s Energy Situations • Energy is basic factor of economic development • In 2005, energy costs accounted to about 15% of GDP • Oil imports accounted to 12% of total import values • 60% of commercial energy was imported or about 700 billion baht • Still rooms for energy efficiency improvement Agriculture 6% Resident & Commercial 21% Industry 36% Transport 37%
Energy Efficiency Improvement Target Strategy Indicators Objective 1 Energy Efficiency Improvement 1. Improve EE in Transportation Energy Elasticity = 1:1 in 5 years 2. Improve EE in Industry 2 3. Awareness raising campaign ประเทศไทยมีพลังงานใช้อย่างต่อเนื่อง เพียงพอต่อความต้องการไปอีก 50 ปี Energy Elasticity = ∆tEnergy Consumption/ ∆tGDP 3 ประชาชนมีพลังงานใช้อย่างทั่วถึง ในราคาที่เป็นธรรมและเพื่อคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีขึ้น Ave. Energy Elasticity 1.4 : 1.0 Ratio of energy growth rate to GDP growth rate = 1.0 by 2008 4 ประเทศไทยเป็นศูนย์กลางพลังงานในภูมิภาค
