As the demand of oil palm outputs in the world market and Thailand has increased, it results in the oil palm‘s residues which need to be utilized. The study aimed to investigate the utilization of oil palm’s residues and analyze the greenhouse gas emission from the utilization of oil palm’s residues. The study reviewed related literature to obtain concepts, theories, research works, policies, and measures related to the utilization of oil palm’s residues and interviewed to relevant scholars and agencies. The greenhouse gas emission on the utilization of oil palm’s residues were calculated and then compared. The study findings revealed the utilization of the residues and the emission of greenhouse gas as follows: cultivation of straw mushroom from empty palm bunch emitted greenhouse gas 323.1264 KgCO2eq /year; use of oil palm fronds as animal feed emitted greenhouse gas 109.674 KgCO2eq /year; use of empty palm bunch to cover soil emitted greenhouse gas in total 109.674 KgCO2eq /year; composting from residues from palm oil extracting plants emitted greenhouse gas 210.346 KgCO2eq /year, compilation of oil palm fronds in heaps revealed no greenhouse gas emission, and composting from palm bunch emitted greenhouse gas 210.346 KgCO2eq /year.

Building construction sector can play a major role in reducing Greenhouse Gas emission through application of technologies aimed at reduction of use of building materials. Energy consumed during production of building materials and components plays a crucial role in creating environmental pollution. India is witnessing high growth in urban and rural housing, which needs more production of building materials. Permanent or semi-permanent type buildings which consume easily available conventional materials like brick, reinforced cement concrete etc. can be made Economic and Eco-friendly by lowering use of energy-consuming building materials through Cost-effective Construction Technologies. Buildings with Cost-effective Construction Technology can be designed within the parameters of the existing Indian Standards. Awareness generation among the users, proper technical and architectural guidance and easy availability of skilled manpower are of utmost importance for promotion of cost-effective technologies in India and to make them as the most acceptable case of sustainable building technologies both in terms of cost and environment.
