| Use advice for data set | This LCA study aims to evaluate the environmental emissions for each stage of the life cycle starting from natural gas extraction to the delivery of electricity, offering material balance and environmental data for the complete cycle including extraction, separation, power generation, and transportation. Users should ensure that data used reflects the actual process and technologies employed at the Bongkot site. Secondary data sources should be used with caution, ensuring they are relevant and up-to-date. The standardized environmental flow data is mapped against the production of 1 MWh of electricity to allow for comparative analysis and should be applied in that context. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The industrial process described pertains to the extraction of natural gas specifically for the feedstock of the Bang Pakong power plant. The gas is primarily sourced from the Bongkot field in the Gulf of Thailand, managed by PTT Exploration and Production Co. Ltd. The Bongkot site's primary natural gas production is a critical component in the generation of electricity, utilizing technologies such as combined cycle and thermoelectric power generation. |
