Abstract

Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate MTPIE located in Rayong province eastern of Thailand was developed by the state enterprise Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand Ministry of Industry to serve industries that use natural gas as the main raw material development. There are 31 factories in the petroleum and petrochemical group which can be divided into 3 categories upstream intermediate and downstream. The eco-efficiency values of the petroleum and petrochemical group were evaluated according to the World Business Council for sustainable development recommendations. The comparison of Eco-efficiency values between 3 industrial categories in the petroleum and petrochemical group demonstrates that factories in the upstream group observe particularly eco-efficient in energy indicator. Factories in the downstream group obtain particularly good eco-efficiency results concerning energy intensity. The eco-efficiency trends of the petroleum and petro chemical group were simply analyzed by snapshot graph. Due to the group data availability on environmental indicator the water use indicator was selected to be as an example indicator for analyzing the eco-efficiency trends of the petroleum and petrochemical group. The eco-efficiency snapshot concerning the group margin and water use during the period of 2003-2005 showed that eco-efficiency trends of the petroleum and petrochemical group in the MTPIE shifted from half eco-efficient in the year 2004 to fully eco-efficient for the industrial sector in Thailand which will feed into strategic development and would enable public participation in the discussion on branch developments and contributions to national trends.
