Abstract：
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the primary drivers of global climate change. Human activities, particularly those related to energy production, transportation, and industry, have long contributed to the escalating levels of GHGs in the Earth\'s atmosphere. Recognizing the significance of this issue, universities, including Thammasat University, play a vital role in Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions research and education, carrying a responsibility to address the matter. This study is aimed aims to assess the greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation measures at Thammasat University (Lampang campus), Thailand. The emissions are categorized into 3 types: (1) direct GHG emissions; (2) energy-related indirect GHG emissions; and (3) other indirect GHG emissions. Activity data from the years 2019 to 2022 was used for the calculations, resulting in GHG emissions of 1051.70, 778.28, 558.64, and 1034.531 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. Among these emissions, energy-related indirect GHG emissions from electricity purchases represent the majority, accounting for approximately 78.55% of the total emissions. Consequently, implementing mitigation strategies, such as solar panel installations and solid waste reduction (combined scenario), has the potential to reduce GHG emissions by up to 57.78%. Furthermore, the university should actively promote GHG emissions reduction through the enactment of energy-saving policies and the adoption of energy-efficient technologies to reduce reliance on energy purchases.
摘要：
温室气体（GHGs）是全球气候变化的主要驱动因素。人类活动,特别是那些与能源生产有关的，交通运输,和工业，长期以来，地球大气层中温室气体的含量不断上升。认识到这个问题的重要性，大学,包括Thammasat大学,在温室气体(GHG)排放研究和教育中发挥着至关重要的作用，承担责任来解决这个问题。这项研究旨在评估Thammasat大学（兰邦校区）的温室气体排放和缓解措施，泰国。排放分为3种类型：（1）直接温室气体排放；（2）与能源相关的间接温室气体排放；（3）其他间接温室气体排放。2019年至2022年的活动数据用于计算，导致温室气体排放量为1051.70、778.28、558.64和1034.531吨二氧化碳当量。在这些排放中，购电产生的与能源相关的间接温室气体排放量占大多数，约占总排放量的78.55%。因此,实施缓解策略，如太阳能电池板安装和固体废物减少(组合方案)，有可能减少高达57.78%的温室气体排放。此外，大学应通过制定节能政策和采用节能技术来积极促进温室气体减排，以减少对能源购买的依赖。
