Analyzing the factors influencing the wind energy adoption in Bangladesh: A pathway to sustainability for emerging economies

Energy Strategy Reviews, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 50, С. 101265 - 101265

Опубликована: Ноя. 1, 2023

The future of energy security has become a prominent concern for emerging economies due to the inevitable depletion fossil fuels and ongoing disruptions in their supply. crippling effect complete dependence on expensive fuel imports is magnified by ineffective policy response enduring crisis, impeding progress across various sectors thwarting efforts meet demands population growth industrialization amid acute electricity shortages. Amidst economic economy, Bangladesh, wind emerges as transformative solution effectively tackle mounting challenges demand, environmental pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, depleting reserves fuels. Therefore, this study utilizes an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach combining inter-valued type 2 intuitionistic fuzzy (IVT2IF) theory with trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method aiming identify, prioritize, investigate relationships among factors that impact sustainable adoption economy like Bangladesh. Initially, were derived from reviewing existing literature. After subsequent expert validation, sixteen selected analysis using IVT2IF DEMATEL method. findings indicate "Fossil supply disruption," "Stable financial investment resource mobilization," "Geographical region" are most significant influencing national grid support prominence value 4.415, 4.406 4.339 respectively. Moreover, disruption" also causal factor weight 1.274, which followed mobilization" 1.029 0.794. study's have potential aid decision-makers policymakers formulating long-term strategies decisions improve sustainability achieve carbon neutrality.

Assessing the factors influencing the adoption of geothermal energy to support the national grid in emerging economies: Implications for sustainability

Sustainable Operations and Computers, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 5, С. 167 - 180

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has made the global energy crisis a severe issue, particularly for emerging economies with sharp rise in load shedding communities, disruptions industrial operation, and an increased cost of living. Shifting our focus from fossil fuel-based to sustainable promising renewable sources, like geothermal (GE), is crucial addressing crisis. Therefore, this study aims evaluate significant factors influencing adoption GE support national grid economy Bangladesh. An integrated framework consisting Delphi method, fuzzy total interpretive structural modeling (TISM), Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied Classification (MICMAC) analysis was utilized hierarchical interrelationships among factors. findings indicate that top two are "scope new investments employment" "growing need inexpensive sources". study's can offer insights decision-makers policymakers, which aid development long-term strategic plans facilitate successful integration promote sustainability low-carbon sector.

A fuzzy synthetic evaluation approach to assess the risks associated with municipal waste management: Implications for sustainability

Green Technologies and Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 2(2), С. 100087 - 100087

Опубликована: Март 13, 2024

The rapid growth of industry, urban areas, and populations has substantially increased waste production worldwide. inadequacy robust management systems limited resources poses significant challenges for many emerging economies, including Bangladesh, resulting in environmental contamination. Despite numerous academic studies on sustainable management, there is a noticeable gap the literature concerning identifying, evaluating, modeling critical risks associated with adopting municipal systems, particularly economies like Bangladesh. This study, therefore, aims to fill this by categorizing, assessing crucial implementing systems. Through an extensive review existing validation expert feedback, study employs fuzzy synthetic evaluation method-based framework prioritize identified risks. calculates probability occurrence degree impact values provide decision-makers insights into severity different risk categories, aiding case-by-case attention. Scores assigned 1 5 scale range from 2.59 4.14 various categories. Notably, "Industrial related" "Community infrastructure requirements emerge as most categories among those analyzed. contributes employing evaluation, methodology rarely used determine management. Furthermore, it poised offer valuable industrialists authorities, empowering them develop responsive strategies contribute development cities communities.

Climate Risk Management, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 43, С. 100581 - 100581

Опубликована: Дек. 23, 2023

Households in the coastal areas are more vulnerable to various environmental, social, and economic disruptions terms of an intersectionality point view. As a first step mitigating potential effects on families, knowing how susceptible they and, ideally, fortifying themselves against existing is essential. Vulnerability adaptive capacity could not be uniformly distributed between households owing gender-based socio-economic disparities inequities. This research, thereby, examined vulnerability variation headed by males females two emerging economy like Bangladesh. study utilized Evaluation-based Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method Boosted Regression Trees (BRT) technique conduct analysis. The EDAS has been used analyze index. Using BRT, innovative approach area, we showed that male female-headed different their capability adapt. findings this suggest led than those region across variety dimensions (social, health, economic, housing, land ownership) perspective. can provide new outlook for decision-makers differences among residents thus lead efficient disaster management practices.
