Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of CO2 mitigation potential of renewable energy and energy efficiency in the residential sector in Indonesia and Thailand. The Long-range Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model was used to analyze future energy demand, energy consumption and CO2 emissions during 2010-2050. This study applied demand side management (DSM) options to reduce CO2 emission in the residential sector by implementing renewable energy and energy efficiency measures in lighting, cooking, and cooling devices. In this analysis, five mitigation actions were selected, called Sustainable Solar System (Solar), Sustainable Biogas System (Biogas), Efficient Lighting Devices (Lighting), Efficient Cooling Devices (Cooling), and Efficient Cooking Stove (Cooking) scenarios. Results show that in 2050 the Cooling scenario shows the highest energy saving of 22.99% when compared with the BAU. In the BAU, energy demand and emission in Indonesian residential sector will be 73,578 ktoe and 68,219 kt-CO2eq in 2050, respectively. The highest CO2 mitigation of 45,208 kt-CO2eq, accounted for 33.73% of emissions in the BAU, will be achieved in the Cooling and Lighting scenarios. In Thailand's residential sector, the Cooling scenario shows the highest energy saving of 6.04% in 2050 when compared with the BAU. In the BAU scenario in Thailand's residential sector, energy demand and CO2 emissions will be about 21,916 ktoe and 26,607 kt-CO2eq in 2050, respectively. The highest CO2 mitigation potential of 23,573 kt-CO2eq will be achieved in the Biogas scenario, CO2 reduction will be 11.42% of emissions in the BAU. The Lighting scenario shows the lowest potential of CO2 mitigation of 25,221 kt-CO2eq. The CO2 reduction will be 5.21% of emissions in the BAU.
