The carbon footprint assessment from electricity in Amnatcharoen Province, Northeastern Thailand

The carbon footprint assessment dioxide equivalent emissions per year resulted to assess the population for a total of carbon dioxide emissions at 3,663 ton CO2/Capital, with an average of 1.85 ton CO2 /Capital/person. The consideration by sex of study found that sex with highest amount of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions was female which averaged 1,896 ton CO2/Capital. by age range of study found that age range with highest amount of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions was 31-45 years, 892 tons CO2/Capital. The knowledge on electrical energy usage of the population showed the most of aware in "items in the refrigerator with a lot of ice formed in the icebox take long time to be cold or are not cold much" , and followed by the knowledge that "maintenance of electrical appliances helps to save energy", and " electrical appliances with a lot of wattage consume a lot of energy ". The behavioral aspect found that the electrical energy usage behavior of population was recorded at often level consume. The information obtained from this research is proposed to be a guideline for creating a policy to conserve electrical energy and reduced carbon dioxide emissions in Amnatcharoen province, Northeastern Thailand.
