This study analyses energy system development and the associated greenhouse gas emissions in Thailand under a reference case and three different carbon tax scenarios during 2013-2050 using a bottom-up cost-minimizing energy system model based on the Asia-Pacific Integrated Assessment Model...

This paper examines the major barriers to the deployment of geothermal, small hydro and advanced coal power generation technologies in Vietnam. It ranks their severity by applying the analytical hierarchy process to data from a survey of 37 domestic experts and stakeholders. Key barriers to a...

In this paper, the implications of CO2 emission mitigation constraints in the power sector planning in Indonesia are examined using a long term integrated resource planning model. An approach is developed to assess the contributions of supply- and demand-side effects to the changes in CO2, SO2...

We examine implications of electric cooking as a demand-side management (DSM) option for power development plans, as well as emission of pollutants, for the predominantly hydroelectric utility of Nepal. Options considered include seasonal and year-round electric cooking with high- and...

We analyze the effects of changes in the technology-mix, fuel-mix and fuel intensity on NOx emission intensities during 1985–1995. Interfuel substitutions were mainly responsible for observed changes in NOx emission intensities in South Korea, while efficiency improvements in thermal power...

There are two technological routes for the production of charcoal from wastes: 1.(1) densification of wastes and carbonization of the densified product and2.(2) carbonization of wastes and briquetting of the carbonized product. Each of these options has its own merits and demerits. We present a...

We have examined sectoral energy-use patterns and estimated the associated emission of key air pollutants in Kathmandu Valley for 1993, as well as the levels of pollutant emissions from fuel use in 2013 under a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario; total emissions of selected pollutants are...

We analyse the potentials of selected efficient appliances (EAs) for air pollutant mitigation and reducing the need for rapidly escalating power generation in India from the national, utility and user perspectives. The study shows that about 10.1% of total cumulative generation and about 7.4,...

This paper analyzes the direct and indirect benefits of reducing CO2 emission during 2005 to 2100 in the case of Nepal, a low income developing country rich in hydropower resource. It discusses the effects on energy supply mix, local pollutant emissions, energy security and energy system costs...
