Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the holistic amount of greenhouse gas emission of Napier Pakchong 1 grass plantation in Prachinburi Province, Thailand, in a term of carbon footprint. The carbon footprint of Napier plantation from irrigation plot and non-irrigation plot was 17.182 and 19.138 kg CO2e/ton of Napier Pakchong 1 grass, respectively. The largest contribution to the greenhouse gas emission came from the fertilizer application. The irrigation to the crop significantly increased the crop yield resulting in the reduction of greenhouse gas emission per unit weight of the crop. The suitable type and the optimal quantity of fertilizer application, as well as the most efficient irrigation system with the least environmental impact, were suggested for further study.

Summary
Thailand increasingly relies on energy imports to sustain its rising energy demand. In 2018, energy consumption in Thailand was 83,691 ktoe, grew by 3.6 percent compared to 2017. The imported energy amounted to 83,055 ktoe, grew by 5.2% compared to 2017. Energy consumption is mainly from fossil-based sources [1]. Thailand is in an unsafe position in terms of energy security and greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative energy must be a foremost policy for energy security and environmental-friendly society in Thailand
