7 LCMT Measures for SAMUI Island (1) TOWN STRUCTURE PLANNING for Low Carbon Development Greenery Areas : Forests, Orchards and Urban Areas Non Greenery : Sustainable Communities Non Automobiles Oriented Communities : Walking Streets (3) (7) ENERGY Area Energy Planning Renewable Energy SUPPLY SIDE Untapped Energy Use Area Energy Management Low Carbon Building DEMAND SIDE (8) ENVIRONMENT Water Supply Management Waste Water Management Solid Waste Management (9) ECO LIFESTYLE Eco Point Programme Low Carbon Center Eco Events Eco Activities INCENTIVE PROGRAMME Awards Subsidies Tax Soft loans (2) TRANSPORTATION Upgrading Public Transportation Diffusion of Low Carbon Vehicles and Development of Charging Stations Mobility Management Spacing for bicycle and pedestrian Improvement of road condition Providing appropriate sightseeing information

8 LCMT Measures for SAMUI Island 9 BASKETS of LCMT Measures Feasibility Study of Low Carbon Development For Samui Island, Thailand.

9 1. Visualization and Adaptation of Green Areas Greenery Areas 1.1 Reforestation (4 sqkm): Tree bank establishment and plant in the canal s estuary. 1.2 Orchards : Multistory" tree gardens (add 30,000 rai of medium height, 6,800 rai of low height) to protect existing trees Replacement by planting of economic and higher CO 2 absorption rate trees (30,000 rai of Palm oil and Pine tree; 8,000 rai of low height and 5,500 rai of Para rubber trees) to protect existing trees To supply Bio diesel production

10 1. Visualization and Adaptation of Green Areas Greenery Areas 1.3 Urban Areas Development of comfortable and Greenery Walk Pass and Street Trees on footpath Ficus Pulima wall Existing After Plant on steel structure Existing After

11 1. Visualization and Adaptation of Green Areas Greenery Areas 1.3 Urban Areas (Continue ) Development of comfortable and Greenery Walk Pass and Street Highway Trees (Route 4169; 8,333 trees) Improvement of building envelope by using Bio facade Example Trees in public space Adding trees in Resort Area Comfortable and Greenery Beaches

12 2. Visualization and Adaptation of Non Green Areas Non Greenery Non automobile oriented communities : Walking Street Walking Streets Introduce Low Carbon Shuttle Bus BEFORE AFTER

13 2.Transportation Planning

14 Measures for Reducing CO2 Emission in Transportation Measures toward low carbon island The measures against the problem about transportation planning has many overlap with the measure of low carbonation. Solving the problem about low carbon with the transportation planning problem is very important for the increasing value of Samui island.

15 2.Transportation Planning

16 Measures for Reducing CO2 Emission in Transportation Present Transportation in Samui Tourists arrive at an island by the airplane or ferry, and move by taxi and motorbike around a hotel. People in Samui move by the car and motorbike, because of the lack of a rail transportation system. From port to hotels etc. From airport to hotels etc. People in Samui island Nathon Going around the beach area & ring road Chaweng Source:Google

17 What type of vehicle or system should be selected for SAMUI? BRT bus system should be considered for connecting each community,air port, ferry port and other main place. Conclusion Transportation demand in Samui may be not big for elevated public transportation such as monorail. BRT s capacity is feasible and initial cost and management cost is cheaper than monorail. Customized bus vehicle design may be symbol of Low carbon Samui

18 2.Transportation Planning Charging Station 10 Charging Stations : Three charging outlets, PV Roof and three parking lots : Total of 2 Million US$

19 3.Area Energy Planning EE Power from Mainland Submarine Cable 193 MW Potential of EE Generating on SAMUI using LC Emission Sources/Technologies ~ 100 MW 50%

20

21 Area Energy Management Chaweng : Micro Grid Model

22 5. Renewable Energy Potential Solar PV Farm 35 MW Solar PV Rooftop 50 MW Solar Street Lighting (LED)

23 Renewable Energy Wind Energy

24 Renewable Energy Small Hydroelectric Power

25 Untapped Energy Use Planning 2 x 200 ton/d New Incinerator Plant with 3.28 MW Electricity Generation Or 1x 100 ton/d New Incinerator Plant with 1.64 MW Electricity Generation

26 7. Low Carbon Building Recommended measures for Low Carbon Building

27 7. Low Carbon Building Low Carbon Resort Model

28 7. Low Carbon Building Low Carbon Resort Model

29 7. Low Carbon Building Low Carbon Hotel Model

30 7. Low Carbon Building Appropriate type of Air Conditioning System

31 7. Low Carbon Building Government Building

32 Water Supply System Recommendation Use recycling water for irrigation. Recommendations for the Development of Various Reservoirs on Samui Island. Recommendation for Water Supply System Development

33 Wastewater Planning : Recommendation Short term Plan The system should be repaired. Encourage Mangrove wetlands as WWTP. Apply advanced service charges for wastewater. Offer incentives to the public in order to reduce the level of wastewater produced. Apply strict control over the amount of wastewater released from each households and commercial buildings.

34 Long term Plan Encourage sewage collection pipeline for all area to connect the central wastewater. Encourage the recycling water as irrigation, flushing toilet for new hotel, cooling tower etc. The recycling pipeline will be serviced in agricultural area in phase I in 10 year s time. The Municipality Authority has a plan to construct Wastewater Treatment Plant.

35 Solid Waste Management New Incinerator : Capacity 2 x 200 ton/day. Sorting Encourage Combined Heat and Power Generation from Municipal Solid Waste. (Produce energy 3 5 MW)

36 Eco Life Style Reduce the amount of waste by using less or eliminating waste at source Reuse purchase and use items that can be reused Recycle taking a product to make another product or re manufacturing into its original. Renew Renewal materials or energy from waste that cannot be reused or recycled.

37 Eco Life Style Example of Eco Events Car Free Day Clean Up the World Weekend Earth Week and Earth Day Bike Week (Bicycle Week) SAMUI Clean Beaches Week Recycling week (NRW) Water Saving Week SAMUI tree day and School tree day

38 Eco lifestyle: Visualization of SAMUI Low Carbon Center

39 Eco lifestyle: Interconnection of eco lifestyle concept, indexes, measures & targets

40 Eco lifestyle: Overall framework for eco point program
