Potential energy and carbon dioxide reduction in commercial sector in Malaysia

Electricity generation is one of the contributors of CO2 production. Malaysian government is enhancing the use of coal up to 50% by 2030. On the other hand, this will give an impact of the emission pattern in Malaysia, which will lead to pollute the environment. This thesis focuses on the estimation...
