Different than four-season countries, tropical countries have a continuous summer-like season and therefore they are rich in clean energy sources like solar and biomass. Hence, the mitigations of environment and energy issues in the tropics would require specific understanding and different approach to solutions. This book offers an assortment of studies on scenarios of environment as well as energy demand and power generation technologies in the tropics. Many of the countries within the tropics are highly populated, and this results in various problems related to the environment and energy. The demand for energy in these countries keeps increasing but concurrently there are also environmental issues that require serious attention. As the global concern on the environment is alarming today, the choice of power generation should be of the cleanest possible resource. This variousreports on research activities carried out in the tropics on the aspect of environment and energy presented in this book are highly beneficial for those who like to see an improvement in the tropics with regard to environment and energy systems. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Energy,$x2195-1292 ;$v92 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aPower resources 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aSolar energy 606 $aSustainability 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat$xTransmission 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aNatural Resource and Energy Economics 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management 606 $aSolar Thermal Energy 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aPower resources. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aSolar energy. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat$xTransmission. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 14$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aNatural Resource and Energy Economics. 615 24$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aSolar Thermal Energy. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 676 $a333.7913 702 $aSulaiman$b Shaharin Anwar 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910768188603321 996 $aEnergy and environment in the tropics$93656098 997 $aUNINA
