Sustainable transport strategies to realize a low-carbon transport sector
Surat Thani’s transport sector makes up about 40 per cent of the total energy demand and contributes about half of the province’s GHG emissions in 2018. Hence, ambitious policy actions for the transport sector are critical for Surat Thani to realize substantial GHG emission reduction, aligning with the national NDC commitment. Specifically, through the adoption of transport electrification.
Thailand has a grand plan for e-mobility, targeting 50 per cent zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) of its domestic vehicle production by 2030, and an ambitious target for the registration of new cars to be 100 per cent ZEVs by 2035(Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2021) . The SET scenario targets a 15 per cent electric share for passenger cars and motorbikes and 50 per cent electric vehicle share for buses and minibuses by 2030. These, all together, projected to reduce 57.3 ktoe of energy demand and 135 ktCO2-e of GHG emissions reduction in 2030.
