Measurable Reportable and Verifiable (MRV) system for an Emission Trading Scheme in Thailand: A Case Study of Plastic Converter Industry
Keywords:
MRV system, Plastic converter industry, Carbon emission trading system, GHG emissionsAbstract
Measurable, Reportable, and Verifiable (MRV) system is an instrument tool for tracking the performance of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation actions, especially Emission Trading System (ETS). Therefore, it is important to study the MRV system for such program to support future monitoring. The objective of this study is to create the guideline of monitoring, reporting, and verifying GHG data for plastic converter industry using in carbon emission trading system in Thailand. Data related in this study were gathered from interviewing stakeholders, meeting, and research papers. Boundary system and research methodology related with GHG assessment were examined. The result was found that the level of greenhouse gas emission from plastic converter factory participating in this program was in the range of 22,000 – 26,000 tCO2/year. The obtained data in this study indicated that the proportion of greenhouse gas emission of 97 percent generated from the electricity consumption, while the residual of 3 percent came from fuel consumption using in mobile sources and others. However, the emission factor of electricity production using in this study should be improved because it does not reflect the technology that power plants use today. In the future, it may need to be further studies to determine the degree of uncertainty in the data to reflect the reliability of the MRV system for the emission trading scheme.
