Life cycle assessment of rice straw co-firing with coal power generation in Malaysia
Shafie, S.M.; Mahlia, T.M.I.; Masjuki, H.H. - In: Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 284-294
This paper investigates the economic feasibility of rice straw co-firing at coal power plants in Malaysia and in doing so looks at the operating, capital, and logistic costs. Co-firing rice straw in an existing coal power plant is a technique that could reduce CO2 emissions and make Malaysia...

Design of optimal power cogeneration for North-east Sri Lanka based on stand-alone renewable energy systems
Davidrajuh, Reggie - In: International Journal of Sustainable Economy 1 (2009) 2, pp. 155-166
This article presents an optimal model to satisfy electricity needs of North-east Sri Lanka (NE-SL). With the absence of indigenous fossil fuel and large-scale hydrologic resources, NE-SL depends on the import of fossil fuel for electricity generation, causing economic and environmental...
