Highlights
•
This study attempts to investigate the energy consumption pattern, the GHG emission pattern and the potentials for energy saving by applying various efficiency technologies and measures in Thai sugar industry.
•
The specific energy consumption (SEC) of the large sized is significantly lower than the international standard sugar plant while the medium and small sized are significantly higher SEC than the international benchmark.
•
The total CO2e emission of three sugar mills (A, B, and C mills) is found to be 7.14, 6.15 and 5.21 kgCO2e/t cane.
•
The highest potential for energy saving of individual technology/measure is 11% of the total plant energy consumption.
