Industry consumes about 30% of total final energy demand in Thailand and is a major source of CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB> emission from energy use. CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB> emission from the industrial sector has increased as a result of high growth in energy demand. This paper analyses the changes in CO<SUB align="right"><SMALL>2</SMALL></SUB> intensity arising from energy use...</small></sub></small></sub></small></sub>

This paper presents a local level study of a village off-grid system in Bangladesh. It applies an integrated methodology that identifies the demand in the off-grid village context using alternative scenarios. The techno-economic analysis of the optimal off-grid system architecture is then...

India’s recent macro-economic and structural changes are transforming the economy and bringing significant changes to energy demand behaviour. Life-style and consumption behaviour are evolving rapidly due to accelerated economic growth in recent times. The population structure is changing,...

In dealing with the climate change externality of the fossil-fuel dominated transport sector, bio-fuels are widely seen as a solution. Through its Bioenergy Policy, Ghana seeks to improve oil supply security, save foreign exchange, create jobs and reduce emissions from the transport sector by...

The power sector in India has registered tremendous growth after independence. As in many other developing countries, demand for electricity is outstripping supply, resulting in widespread power shortages. This trend will continue unless options for improvements are implemented.

Industrial demand accounts for about 30% of total final energy demand in Thailand, which experienced rapid increases in energy demand in the past two decades. This paper analyzes the changes in industrial energy demand over a period of 20 years from 1981 to 2000 by considering changes in demand...
