| Abstract | The smart city is a concept for developing the urban planning. The deployment of advanced technologies and environmental management techniques aims at the better life quality. While the energy consumption and the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions should maintain its historical patterns or even minimize as much as possible. The objective of this study is to analyze Chiangmai as a smart city in the environmental perspective, the energy savings and the GHG reduction potentials. The study found that the energy consumption and the GHG emissions in the energy sector will be reduced by 15.38% and 15.90% in 2040 compared to the BAU scenario, respectively. Efficient engine with biofuel and electric vehicles (EVs) will play a key role in GHG mitigation. The GHG emissions reduction in Chiangmai smart city scenario will help Thailand to achieve its National Determined Contributions (NDC) target in 2030. However, additional supportive measures are needed to achieve this target. |
