The total carbon dioxide emissions in Thailand have shown a steady increase from 2013 to 2024. In 2023, the emissions stood at 269.89 million metric tons. Over the last two years, the year-on-year variation was approximately 1.15% in 2023, reflecting a slight decreasing trend in growth rate compared to previous years. However, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the last five years until 2023 was around 1.23%, indicating moderate growth in emissions.
Looking forward, the forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a continued rise in emissions, albeit at a slower pace. The five-year CAGR from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be 0.82%, with an overall growth rate of 4.19% over this period. This indicates a gradual deceleration in the rate of increase of carbon dioxide emissions.
Future trends to watch for include the implementation of stricter environmental regulations and the adoption of cleaner technologies, which could significantly impact the emission trajectory. Economic developments and energy consumption patterns will also play a crucial role in shaping future emissions. Monitoring these factors will be essential for understanding and potentially mitigating future carbon dioxide emissions in Thailand.
