“…Locating in the center of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) mainland region coupled with the emergence of the Asian Economic Community (AEC) [1] makes Thais' advantages in terms of trading accessibility to the neighboring countries through transportation system serving as a backbone driving the national economy [2]. The Thai government, therefore, aims to establish the policy of being a logistics and transportation hub of ASEAN in order to enhance the competitiveness through logistics cost reduction [4].…”

To take advantage from locating in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) mainland region, the Thai government has established a policy of being logistics and transportation hub. The policy has, therefore, challenged the Department of Rural Roads (DRR) and particularly the Bureau of Rural Roads (BRR) 11, 12, and 14 undertaking responsibility for all rural roads in the south part of Thailand. The BRR strategic plan and implementation have been demanded to reform. This research aimed to create the conceptual framework of route project improvement execution plan for BRRs' decisionmaking on project investment prioritization. The focus group interview method was applied to gather factors influencing transportation investment projects in order to develop the criteria of route project improvement prioritization. In addition, the score level of each criterion was also collected through this method. Then, to rank the important criteria, the questionnaire was developed to gain the data of pairwise comparison and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied to analyze the data. The results showed that the framework was suitable for the BRRs' long-term route project improvement execution plan while the instant application was appropriated for the BRRs' short-term plan.

Sustainable energy is a global issue with significant sustainable development implications. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has specific goal to the energy sector so-called SDG 7. The SDG 7 focuses on accessing to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy services. It has three main targets and involves international cooperative actions. This paper examines the trends and analyzes the profiles of the SDG 7 in Thailand. It estimates SDG 7 indicators in the future under different energy scenarios. This paper contributes to energy studies by analyzing recent trends in SDG 7 and pathways to achieving the goal. The paper presents energy policies and measures related to SDG 7 in Thailand and other South-East Asian nations. It is found that under the three targets of SDG 7, namely energy access, renewable energy, and energy efficiency, Thailand has performed better than the global average. The paper calculates the indicators using findings from existing modeling studies to analyze the pathways for achieving SDG 7. The findings highlight an opportunity for Thailand to achieve SDG 7 by 2030.

“…The result indicated that the cement industry has the highest GHG emission among the industrial ones [3]. The GHG inventory of the transport sector in Thailand was presented for the GHG emission reduction potentials, together with several mitigation options such as fuel switching and use of high performance vehicles [4,5]. The GHG reduction potential of the transport sector in Thailand by using ethanol as an alternative fuel is analyzed by developing the energy demand modeling [6].…”

Abstract. The GHG inventory from the cement sector in Thailand is analyzed by using the CSI protocol. The data are provided by five participated cement industries in the country starting from the year 2001 to 2014. The key performance indices corresponding to the GHG reduction technologies are calculated and presented. The results indicate that the annual average of the direct CO2 emission from the cement sector is 33.1 million tonnes of CO2, which contributes nearly 15% of the total national GHG emission. This amount of CO2 emission originates from the calcination and the fuel combustion parts by 21.3 and 11.8 million tonnes of CO2, respectively. The average specific net and gross CO2 emissions are 727 and 733 kg of CO2 per tonne cementitious, respectively. The average specific indirect CO2 emission from external electricity production is 60.5 kg of CO2 per tonne cement. The average specific thermal and electrical consumption is 3.32 GJ per tonne clinker and 117 kWh per tonne cement, respectively. The average alternative and bio fuel thermal ratios are 2.51 and 5.24%, respectively. The average clinker-to-cement ratio is 82.4%. From the analysis, it is indicated that the use of the bio fuels have been an effective mitigation action in the past decade, and the use of the alternative fuels have been employed in the last few years. The implementation of the electrical energy efficiency and the WHR unit causes the specific indirect CO2 emission from external electricity generation decreasing steadily over the past decade. On the other hand, the key technology for the direct CO2 reduction potential is the clinker substitution. The availability of the clinker substitutes in the country is very limited, but opportunity of using these substitutes should be increased in the future.
