Thai government had promoted the community energy plan development with the purpose to self-reliance on the energy, the use of alternative energy and energy conservation of a rural community. The energy potential (raw material) is also one of the main factors made to the success of developed community energy plan, however, the characteristics of energy consumption of each local community area is different. Therefore, the objectives of this work were to study characteristics of energy consumption in rural community and to estimate emission of greenhouse gas (GHG). Moreover, the appropriate energy policy to suit in rural community was also investigated. The study of household energy consumption based finding on the collecting information in the Huaiwai village, NongPla Lai subdistrict, Nong Prue district, Kanchanaburi province. The results showed that Huaiwai village consumed a total energy of 179.78 toe (tonne of oil equivalent) in 2010. The GHG emission from the rural household energy consumption by energy types was approximately 593.9 tCO2-eq. The results could thus help evaluated the effectiveness of community energy policy.
