A STUDY OF CARBONDIOXIDE GAS EMISSION FROM ALCOHOL BEVERAGE INDUSTRIAL PROCESS

Abstract

In present, the industry technologies in Thailand were rapidly developed. The greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide gas (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (NO2) has been released from production process of numerous types of industry. From The United Nations meeting on December 7, 2009, it was found that Thailand was the 24th of the world GHGs release. The major emission was from the industry sector. In this research, GHGs released from liqueur industry including alcohol, beer, and wine were studied. Based on GHGs emission data during year 2005 and 2009, GHGs emission trend in the future was predicted. From the study, it has been found that the highest amount of GHGs which is 10.10 million tons was released in year 2009 from alcohol industry. From 2010 to 2014, the GHGs emission will be increased 80.08% from alcohol industry, 82% from beer industry, and 75.86% from wine industry. Therefore, this study could be the important guideline for developing technology on production process of the liqueur industry in order to control the GHGs emission.
