(kt = kilotonnes)The calculations in Table 22 are based on pollutant emissions assumptions shown in Table 23. Note however thatthe figures for emissions from hydro-electricity, originally based on figures in temperate Europe, are not reliable ordirectly applicable to Thailand and its neighboring countries. Studies have shown that tropical reservoirs aresignificant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. 15 There are to date no real attempts to quantify and account forthese emissions in the region.Plant typeGHGg/kWhNO Xg/kWhSO 2g/kWhTSPg/kWhHgmg/kWhLignite 1,200 5.80 5.27 0.62 0.04Coal 960 3.79 3.76 0.33 0.36Oil 770 2.90 4.90 0.25 0.01Diesel 650 2.90 1.29 0.25 0.01Natural gas 512 1.25 0.31 0.01 0.00Large hydro-EGAT &15 0.02 0.01 0.01 0.00ImportsCogeneration-gas 343 0.84 0.21 0.01 0.00Cogeneration-coal 643 2.54 2.52 0.23 0.36Malaysia 443 1.25 0.31 0.10 0.00Biomass 46 2.50 0.30 0.20 0.00Biogas -33 1.94 0.07 0.10 0.00PV 30 0.01 0.02 0.02 0.00Microhydro 2 0.01 0.00 0.00 0.00Wind 10 0.00 0.07 0.01 0.00Municipal solid waste 58 3.13 0.38 0.25 0.00Nuclear 170 0 0 0 0Table 23: Assumptions used in calculating different types of emissions from power generation.
