Abstract: Thailand's rate of energy consumption has been growing at a fast pace due to its economic development with a corresponding rapid increase in CO₂ emissions. Given the widely accepted fact between CO₂ emissions and climate change, mitigation policies in Thailand become an essential part. The analysis is aimed at studying the effects of Thailand's CO₂ emissions mitigation options on the energy system and at determining the possible CO₂ emissions reduction. In the paper we analyse that the imposition of a carbon tax in the region $20/tonC could reduce CO₂ emissions by 5% up to the year 2020.
