| Abstract | It was reported that petrochemical sector in Thailand consumes 15% to 17% of the total industrial sector's energy consumption. Plastic resin industry in Thailand is one of the downstream sub-sectors of the petrochemical sector, which shares approximately 21% of the energy use of the sector. It is important for the industry to encourage the efficient energy management initiatives in order to minimize the energy cost and to maximize the benefit. In addition to the gain of energy conservation and higher energy efficiency, this will enhance the capability of the industry to compete with the same industry in the global scale. The objective of this research is to analyze the energy efficiency by evaluating the specific energy consumption (SEC) and the energy saving potential of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin industry in Thailand. The analysis consists of four steps. First, the 2013 baseline for energy and material use in PVC resin industry is established. Secondly, the characterization of energy-efficient technologies to improve energy efficiency is discussed, and the potential applications and impacts of these measures are determined. In addition, scaling up the saving energy from each measure and constructing conservation supply curve (CSC) to assess the economic potential for energy efficiency improvement in Thai PVC resin industry are performed. The result shows that the total technical and the cost effective (economic potential) of electricity-efficiency potential for the Thai PVC resin industry in 2013 is estimated to be about 25,355 and 16,625 megawatt-hours (MWh) respectively. Moreover, the economic potential and the total technical of carbon dioxide emission reduction are 10,654 and 6,986 tCO2, respectively. |
