The road transports especially the motor vehicles play a significant role in increment of energy consumption in the transportation sector. However, the harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from such vehicles which are the main causes of global warming, have been increased as well. One of the...

The road transport and particularly the passenger cars are responsible for increasing the share of transport energy consumption and harmful emissions level growth. The fuel economy label is an informative tool to influence customers and manufacturers to put special care to the energy efficiency...

One of the features that characterize renewable energy sources is their variability and intermittency. Intermittency covers both the predictable and unpredictable variations of their power outputs and uncertainty in the power availability. To overcome the drawback of intermittency, special...

In Indonesia, the transportation sector is the third largest energy consuming sector (28%) after the industrial and residential sector. Transport energy consumption is mostly driven by the road sub-sector. In order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions production in the transportation sector,...

Nowadays, biomass is considered as one of the main sources of energy for both developed and developing countries. Malaysia with a large amount of biomass residues as a source of electricity generation is considered as one of the potential countries in this field. This study aims to analyze the...

Electricity demand in residential and commercial sectors has increased steadily over the past 50 years in Malaysia. The bulk of which is being consumed by air conditioning systems. Absorption cooling systems can be a reasonable alternative to have conditioned spaces in the country. The fuel...

Nowadays, almost every building required a cooling system and most of them use active cooling, which normally operates using electricity generated from non-renewable fossil fuel. To achieve comfort, it is possible to utilize the natural environmental conditions to partially replace the active...

The global energy consumption is likely to grow faster than the population growth. The fuel consumption was growing from 6630million tons of oil equivalents (Mtoe) in 1980 to 11,163Mtoe in 2009. This projected consumption will increase 1.5% per year until 2030 and reach 16,900Mtoe and the main...

Sustainable supply of energy at affordable prices is vital to ensure the human development. ASEAN is committed pursuing for a clean and green region with fully established mechanisms for sustainable development to ensure the protection of regional environment, resources and the high quality of...

The level of energy demand plays a fundamental role in today's society. It is a vital input in supporting the physical and social development of a country, as well as national economic growth. Looking at the energy demand scenario in present time, the global energy consumption is likely to grow...
