Marginal Abatement Cost Assessment of Releasing Greenhouse Gas by Petroleum Transportation: Case Study Gas Station, Preeda Petroleum Limited Partnership

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate marginal cost of greenhouse gas emission emitted from Petroleum’s transportation, and to find resolution of reducing more than 27 percent of greenhouse gas emission. According to the data from gas stations, using case study of gas stations of Preeda Petroleum Partnership Limited, there were 2 routes of transportations. As reported by data collected in October, 2563 B.E. – September 2564 B.E., it was found that the 1st route was used for transportation 250 times which cost 1,800 baht per time. The 2ndroute was use 115 times which cost 2,200 baht per time. After the calculation of greenhouse gas emission from both routes. It was found that one round of the 1st route and the 2rd routes had greenhouse gas emissions of 89.01 kgCO2eq and 25.80 kgCO2eq, respectively. In total, in one year, there was 25,219.50 kgCO2eq of greenhouse gas emission and it cost 703,000 baht of transportation. To reduce 27 percent of greenhouse gas emission, there is an adjustment of the number of rounds of transportation by using the 1 stroute only 142 round and the 2nd route for 223 rounds.That means in one year, there will be 18,392.82 kgCO2eq of greenhouse gas emission which equals 27 percentless and the cost of transportation is 746,200 baht. After the analysis of the worth of investment, using thecalculation of marginal cost of reducing greenhouse gas emission emitted from Petroleum’s transportationbetween the current method and the adjusted method, the result equals 6.33 baht/kgCO2eq which shows thatthere was 6.33 baht less in each 1 kgCO2eq of the emission
