Carbon footprint (CFP) of sugar produced from sugarcane in eastern Thailand was estimated from
greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4, and N2O) during the sugarcane cultivation and milling process. The
use of fossil fuels, chemical and organic fertilizer and sugarcane biomass data during cultivation were
collected from field surveys, questionnaires and interviews. Sugar mill emissions, fossil fuel utilization
and greenhouse gas emission from wastewater treatments were included. The results show that sugar
production has a carbon footprint of 0.55 kg CO2e kg1 sugar
