Abstract

This research aims to study carbon footprint assessment and the guidelines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the Yala Rajabhat University in southern Thailand. Data was collected from January to December 2020 for evaluating greenhouse gas emissions. The methodology followed the guidelines of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organisation (Public Organisation). The greenhouse gas emissions can be classified into 3 categories: 1) direct GHG emissions, 2) electricity indirect GHG emissions and 3) other indirect GHG emissions. The results showed that scope 2 indirect greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumption had the highest amount of greenhouse gas emissions at 1,625,941.82 kilogrammes of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO₂e/year). Amount of greenhouse gas emissions were 182,144.76 and 28,545.71 kgCO₂e/year for scope 3 and scope 1, respectively. Guidelines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions electricity consumption of the Yala Rajabhat University urgently needed. To reduce the amount of carbon footprint. This can be done in the form of 1) energy management, including reducing electricity use, 2) solid waste management using the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) principle, and 3) fuel efficiency and renewable energy adoption.
