The Study of Greenhouse Gas Emission from Transportation of Waste under Green Logistic Concept with The Study Case of Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy

Abstract

The study of Greenhouse gas emission from transportation of waste under green logistic concept with the study case of Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy aimed to observe the amount of Greenhouse gas emission from transportation of waste of Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy, and to compare Greenhouse gas emission from waste trucks that use general diesel engine and ones that are electric. According to the data collected during September 1st – November 30th , 2024, it was found that when using HINO diesel-engine trucks model FG8JJ1A-JJT, which is a compact garbage truck, as vehicles for transportation with 10 tons loading, running 4 routes that equals 12,174.24 km/year, 27,612 liters of diesel fuel was used created 74,516.50 kgCO₂eq/year of Greenhouse gas emission. Therefore, the author proposed the guidelines for reducing the emissions by using electric vehicles. It will help decrease 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions which equals 44,709.9 kgCO₂eq/year. And when calculating marginal cost, it was found that net costs were reduced by 4.97 baht/ 1 kgCO₂eq. This indicates that the project can create benefits by reducing the emissions and enhance the significance of changes and improvements of using different types of vehicles that also environment-friendly and economic benefits. It can be used as a case study for improvement in other areas, for sustainability and environment in the future. And it is a response to the measures driving the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions under the Thailand 4.0 policy.
