The transport sector is one of the important contributors of increasing energy consumption and CO emissions in Thailand. Due to rapid development of transport infrastructure and technologies, patterns of energy consumption in this sector, as well as emissions, have changed considerably. To understand changes of aggregate energy consumption and CO emissions in this sector, this study employs the decomposition technique of the additive LMDI-I index method to analyze influencing factors in the road passenger transport in Thailand during 2007-2017. Results indicate that major energy consumption and GHG emissions in Thailand's road passenger transport come from sedans, vans, and taxis. The decreasing GHG emissions from fuel share and emission factors revealed the success of biofuel promotion in the road transport. The policy implication on energy efficiency and CO mitigation suggests that Thailand should continue promotion of energy efficiency improvement, public transport, biofuels and electric vehicles.
交通运输部门是泰国能源消耗和碳排放增加的重要贡献者之一。由于交通基础设施和技术的快速发展，该部门的能源消耗模式以及排放情况发生了显著变化。为了解该部门总能源消耗和碳排放的变化，本研究采用加法LMDI-I指数方法的分解技术，分析2007-2017年泰国道路客运中的影响因素。结果表明，泰国道路客运中的主要能源消耗和温室气体排放来自轿车、面包车和出租车。燃料份额和排放因子导致的温室气体排放减少表明道路运输中生物燃料推广取得了成功。关于能源效率和碳排放减排的政策启示表明，泰国应继续推动能源效率提升、公共交通、生物燃料和电动汽车的发展。
