Life cycle assessment of bamboo residue management pathways
Stakeholder perspectives on decarbonizing Thailand's power sector
Measuring progress toward a circular economy of the Asean Community
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which necessitates accelerated progress in sustainable production and consumption. This study employs an economy‐wide material flow analysis to assess the ASEAN community's material use, waste generation, emissions, resource efficiency, and circularity rate. The analysis encompasses the entire ASEAN economy, with a detailed focu…
A Blueprint for Data-Driven Climate Action
This study develops a replicable, data-driven framework for subnational climate action, demonstrated through a case study of Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. The framework integrates a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory with spatial analysis to identify and quantify location-specific mitigation strategies. Using 2019 as the base year, total emissions were 5,387,482 tCO2e (BASIC+), dominated by stationary energy (40%) and transportation (3…
Policy implications and recommendations for sustainable bioenergy development in Ethiopia
Ethiopia, with its abundant biomass resources, has significant potential to develop a sustainable bioenergy sector. However, current bioenergy policies face challenges that hinder the sector's development, including inefficient resource utilization, lack of technological innovation, and inadequate regulatory frameworks. This study evaluates the existing bioenergy policy landscape in Ethiopia, with a focus on identifying gaps and opportunities for…
Integrated management of surface water and groundwater for climate change adaptation using hydrological modeling
Environmental impact assessment of electricity production from municipal solid waste in Yangon, Myanmar
Life-cycle GHG emissions of standard houses in Thailand
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from building activities are one of the most prominent contributors to the problem of global warming. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a widely used tool to investigate GHG emissions from buildings. However, there appears to be a lack of LCA studies on buildings in tropical climates, and especially in Thailand. This study aims to improve the understanding of GHG emissions from standard Thai residential buildings. LCA …
Towards more sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (Wash) projects in Magway Region, Myanmar
Clean water and sanitation are essential for human development. Governments, international and national aid organizations have implemented water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects worldwide, notably in low- and middle-income countries. However, the majority of such projects experience failure. As a result, 2.4 billion people worldwide are deprived of improved WASH services. Research revealing how WASH projects can be sustained and which fac…
The nutrition-environment nexus assessment of Thai Riceberry product for supporting environmental product declaration
Riceberry rice has a special characteristic of being specially bred with high nutrients. High-value added products from riceberry are being promoted targeting health-conscious consumers. To provide supporting information for sustainable food systems, environmental footprinting was applied for evaluating the environmental performance of a ready-to-eat product of riceberry rice mixed with kidney red bean called “Riceberry + KU”, developed by Kasets…
Evaluating the absolute eco-efficiency of food products
International trade, dietary change, and cardiovascular disease health outcomes
United Nations (UN) member states have, since 2011, worked to address the emerging global NCD crisis, but progress has, so far, been insufficient. Food trade policy is recognised to have the potential to impact certain major diet-related health and environmental outcomes. We study the potential for using import tariff protection as a health and environmental policy instrument. Specifically, we apply a rigorous and consistent Macroeconomic-Environ…
A policy-based life cycle impact assessment method for Thailand
Palm oil and dietary change
Palm oil is a cooking oil and food ingredient in widespread use in the global food system. However, as a highly saturated fat, palm oil consumption has been associated with negative effects on cardiovascular health, while large scale oil palm production has been linked to deforestation. We construct an innovative fully integrated Macroeconomic-Environmental-Demographic-health (MED-health) model to undertake integrated health, environmental, and e…
Environmental impacts reduction potential through a PV based transition from typical to energy plus houses in Thailand
The Life Cycle Assessment of an Energy‐Positive Peri‐Urban Residence in a Tropical Regime
Urban settlements are home to the greatest levels of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption globally, with unprecedented rates of urban expansion occurring today. With the majority of global urbanization occurring along the periphery of urban areas in developing countries, investigation of “green” building practices designed specifically for “peri‐urban” regions is critical for a low‐emitting future society. This study assesses a state‐o…
Policies for healthy and sustainable edible oil consumption
Objective Palm oil is a cheap and versatile edible oil in widespread use as a food ingredient that has been linked to negative health and environmental outcomes. The current study aimed to understand the prospects for future health-focused policy development to limit food use of palm oil and promote a greater diversity of oils in Thailand’s food system. Design Eighteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with a range of stakeholders. The in…
Electric Motorcycles in Thailand
Battery electric motorcycles offer the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption in road transportation, but result in problem shifting when considering potential environmental impacts during vehicle production and disposal. This study evaluates the life cycle environmental impacts of implementing lithium‐ion and lead‐acid battery electric motorcycles in Thailand's motorcycle fleet to meet the government's motorcycl…
Biofuels
Biofuels are being supported by many governments for a range of perceived benefits including improved domestic energy security, reduced greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions when compared with fossil‐fuel counterparts, and economic development and employment generation, particularly in rural areas. Life‐cycle, cost‐benefit, and systems analyses, however, indicate that the expansion of biofuels can have complex effects on, and interactions with, land u…
Food, Fuel, and Climate Change
This study evaluates the sustainability of biodiesel for transport in Thailand in terms of the availability of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and crude palm oil (CPO) supply to satisfy the future demands for food and fuel, and the contribution of palm biodiesel to mitigating climate change if biodiesel induces land‐use change (LUC). Five land conversions including rubber, cassava, paddy field, set‐aside land, and forest land to oil palm are considered…
Innovation cycles, niches and sustainability in the shrimp aquaculture industry in Thailand
Central and individual air-conditioning systems — A comparison of environmental impacts and resource consumption in a life cycle perspective
This paper compares individual (split) and central systems of air-conditioning in a life cycle perspective, taking into account the environmental impacts and resource consumption during resource extraction, material production, production of the air-conditioning units, their use, disposal and recycling. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is used in conducting this comparison. Central systems have a longer lifetime than individual systems, lower electric…
