Rainwater Harvesting Systems (RHS) are increasingly used in buildings to mitigate water shortage and rising prices of centralised water supply. Notwithstanding the benefits of RHS, they may also promote adverse impacts mainly related to the high consumption of energy. In this context, energy...

Most commentators expect improved energy efficiency and reduced energy demand to provide the dominant contribution to tackling global climate change. But at the global level, the correlation between increased wealth and increased energy consumption is very strong and the impact of policies to...

As the electricity demand is affected by population growth, Malaysia towards an industrialized nation is considering the options for future energy sources for its power generation. Besides the conventional four-fuel mix, the five-fuel mix strategy under several national policies are introduced...

This study examined the effects of changing trade structure and changing technical characteristics of the manufacturing sector alongside the effects of foreign direct investment and urbanization on energy intensity in Ghana. In order to produce a result that is not biased towards non-rejection,...

Energy efficiency is an important issue of European climate policy. Energy efficiency is measured by the energy intensity of an economy showing how much energy (expressed in kilograms of oil equivalent, kgoe) is used for the production of one unit (1000 EUR) of GDP. There are huge differences...

Estimates of the amount of land used for a defined amount of utility-scale electricity generation in the solar power industry, referred to here as solar land use energy intensity (LUEI), are important to decision makers for evaluating the environmental impact of energy technology choices....

This study addresses the planning and implementation of energy, industry, and carbon economy policies concerning the development of the Taiwan's energy intensive industries from perspective of climate change. As a newly industrialized country, Taiwan attaches greater importance to the...

This paper aims to identify the main drivers behind energy intensity changes of the Jordanian industrial sector and to introduce the impact of energy efficient measures within the Jordanian industrial sector. To achieve these objectives, two empirical models were developed for electricity and...

Given the relevance of energy and pollution issues for industrialised countries and the importance of industry and energy sectors to the achievement of their economic and environmental goals, it is important to know if there is a common pattern of emissions intensity, fuel intensity and energy...

In this study, the development of energy demand in Turkey, the utilization of hydropower potential as well as the problems related to the operation, construction and development phases of hydropower plants have been examined. The number of hydropower plants, their overall installed power (MW),...
