The objective of this study is to develop a database for the evaluation of environmental impacts in Thailand. We estimate
sectoral CO
2 intensities based on input-output analysis with energy balance table in Thailand. The results show that the
electricity sector is the largest source of CO
2 emissions whereas the cement sector has the highest CO
2 intensity. As a case
study, we perform an analysis of CO
2 emission structure of agricultural sectors by using the developed database. This analysis
finds that the indirect CO
2 emissions from the agricultural services sector and the overseas production of import goods,
particularly chemical fertilizers, are significant on the production of agricultural goods in Thailand. The developed database
can be applied for various analyses such as the assessment of macro-level environmental impacts as well as the Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) of products, services, technologies and systems.
