STRATEGY 2 Support greenhouse gas emissions
reduction and add more carbon dioxide sinks on
integrity development

• Objective
• To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve
  production technology base to clean technology

5
1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in energy
sector

• Increase efficiency electricity use and
  production
• Increasing efficiency of electricity generation
  system from fossil fuel power plant
• Reducing energy loss in transmission system and
  distribution system
• Supporting production and use of energy efficient
  in machine and electric equipment in business,
  civic and government sector

6

• Promoting electricity saving activity in private,
  civic and government sector
• Supporting improvement and building of energy
  saving building, including household building,
  office building and commercial building
• Supporting the motivation of increase efficiency
  of production and energy use

7

• Increase efficiency of energy using and saving in
  transportation sector
• Promoting travel by mass transit system
• Promoting travel by walking for motorcycle in
  short distance
• Reducing travel wanted by communication support
  in private sector and government sector
• Controlling amount of private vehicle using in
  the high traffic area

8

• Specific fuel economy standards along with new
  vehicle standards improving, including private
  vehicle and mass transit
• Promoting engine maintenance in order to save
  energy, including private vehicles and mass
  transit
• Developing and promoting efficiency
  transportation system by logistics management
• Supporting in the motivation increase efficiency
  in energy using transportation sector

9

• Supporting and developing alternative energy use
• Promoting surveying and potential evaluation and
  prioritizing of alternative energy source for
  commercial use development, including make
  bio-energy map
• Promoting energy plants
• Developing alternative energy technology to
  complete with the price of fossil fuel
• Supporting production and usage of alternative
  energy without making greenhouse gas emissions

10

• Improving law, rule, regulations and formulating
  economical measures in order to create motivation
  and helpful for
• electricity generation and usage from alternative
  energy source, including alternative energy
  without making greenhouse gas emissions
• bio- energy production and usage
• alternative energy production technology
  development and usage in household and
  industrial sector

11
2.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in waste
sector

• Reducing waste amount from source
• Improving law, rule, regulations and formulating
  economical measures in order to create motivation
  on waste reduction from industrial, agriculture,
  business and household sector
• Supporting deposit refund system for plastic
  bottles, glass bottles, aluminum bottle etc

12

• Supporting decayable container use such as
  bio-plastic
• Supporting entrepreneur to reduce waste container
  use and promoting safety reuse container
• Promoting sufficiency economy on consuming
• Promoting e-communication in order to decrease
  paper, ink use in business and government
  agencies
• Supporting waste reduction from source by life
  cycle assessment and eco-design etc

13

• Efficiency waste management
• Supporting provincial administrative organization
  clustering in order to make waste management
  system, reuse system or convert to electrical
  energy
• Creating motivation in public sector to separate
  the garbage
• Reducing outdoor burning
• Supporting the operation on clean development
  mechanism in order to create motivation for
  efficiently waste management and reduce
  greenhouse gas

14
3.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from
industrial process

• Specifying the entrepreneur that produce a lot of
  greenhouse gas such as cement production, iron
  production etc. to put greenhouse gas reduction
  plan and measures in the companys policy, and
  require to have yearly greenhouse gas emissions
  evaluation

15

• Promotion clean technology and environmental
  friendly in production process by create the
  motivation to the entrepreneur
• Formulating incentive measure for bank sector to
  use environmental regulations for loan approval
  consideration to the entrepreneur

16
4. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from
agricultural process

• Promoting agricultural process improvement among
  agriculturist by efficiency in utilization of
  resources and less chemical use
• Developing low greenhouse gas emission for
  agricultural management system
• Increasing efficiency in outdoor burning by
  incentive measures and law measures
• Promoting animal food quality improvement, in
  order to reduce greenhouse gas emission from
  digestive system

17
5. Adding more carbon sink

• Creating the motivation of growing economic tree
  in private land for pulp industry and small wood
  industry
• Promoting conservation, rehabilitation and
  increase area of mangrove forest. In order to be
  carbon sink and reduce coastal scouring
• Promoting wood saving and use wood material
  substitute
• Reducing steps of forest gardening, in order to
  create motivation of forest gardening

18

• Promoting reforestation by three type of forests
  with four benefits principle (edible,
  construction, equipment wood/benefit edible,
  construction, equipment, conservation)
• Promoting increase of natural forest outside
  forest conservation area, by supporting public
  land used for community forest
• Promoting green area development at every level
• Monitoring and evaluation of forest plantation
  results by private and public sector, in order to
  specify forest plantation extension plan

19
6. Creating and supporting the proper mechanism
in order to push greenhouse gas emissions
reduction by improving production technology base
to clean technology

• Improving the consideration criterion for clean
  development mechanism project of each sector, and
  considering about greenhouse gas emission
  reduction, sustainable development and production
  technology base improving to a clean technology
• Formulating regulations, rules and measures on
  carbon credit trading
