Abstract
This study is a documented research work that determines the emission quantities
of HFCs, PFCs, and SF6 in Thailand. The information included in this study is
comprised of secondary data that have been collected from relevant government agency
sources and the results of a field survey. The field survey provides information about
the production process, the production output, and the emission factors for each specific
production process, extracted from the Revised 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National
GHG Inventories, Volume 3. The effect of the use of HFC-134a in the manufacturing
and servicing of household refrigerators and automobile air-conditionings was
calculated during 2001-2006 and the results indicated that the direct emission of HFCs
based on CO2 and carbon equivalent was 59,280,394 and 16,300,616 MT Carbon,
respectively. Similarly, the effect of the use of SF6 in the manufacture was calculated
during 2001-2006 and the results indicated that the direct emission of SF6 based on CO2
and carbon equivalent was 29,473 and 8,038 MT Carbon, respectively. The direct
emission was calculated from the amount of HFCs, PFCs, and SF6 that had leaked or
had purged directly into the atmosphere. It was found that the direct emissions from
manufacturing and servicing refrigerator had increased and the different emissions
depend on the amount of GHG that was converted which was compared to the amount
of equivalent CO2.
