Assessing the Scenario Concerning Environmental Sustainability in Malaysia

There is strong scientific evidence that energy consumption and production are often related to greenhouse emissions. It has been argued that the cost of taking smart, effective cooperative action towards reducing global warming should be manageable. Following an effective approach, our work investigates the scenario of environmental sustainability in Malaysia and reassesses energy policy and alternative energy sources such as the utilization of oil palm (that is as a source of renewable energy) to reduce the economic and environmental burden. Our efforts try to lessen the gap between greenhouse gas mitigation and sustainable development, focusing on changing conventional energy instruments. This paper may be useful in the formulation of policies on renewable energy in Malaysia and possibly elsewhere
