“…Therefore, the low carbon society program needs to be integrated into the international community to achieve sustainable development (Nakata et al, 2011). The efforts related to this vision have been widely studied all over the world (Ali et al, 2013;Gan et al, 2013;Lutfi et al, 2018;Soccol et al, 2019;Yamin et al, 2018).…”

Mangrove forest in the coastal area in the Suli subdistrict is one of the sources of livelihood for the local people. The objective of this research is to analyze the public perception of the coastal community towards mangrove forests. The analysis was carried out using a questionnaire-multilevel scale with the level of assessment that refers to the Likert scale. The questionnaires, which were disseminated to 100 respondents, contained questions about the public perception in the coastal mangrove area. The questions were divided into 5 part questions, namely: 4 questions for the public perception towards ecological functions, 7 questions for community participation, 5 questions for economic benefit, 5 questions for social and culture, and 5 questions for government regulation. The results revealed that the average public perception towards the ecological functions of mangrove was good, with a value of 4.11 (in category 4). The public perception towards public participation was also good, with a value of 3.69 (in category 4). Moreover, the public perception about the economic benefits of mangrove was quite good, with a value of 3.37 (in category 3). The social and culture was quite good, with a value of 3.32 (in category 3). Finally, the public perception towards government regulation (law enforcement) was good, with a value of 3.57 (in category 4). Based on the results, the average value was 3.61, which means that mangroves management is good (in category 4) based on the perceptions of a coastal community in the Suli Subdistrict. The level of education does not affect the perception of the importance of mangrove management. This was caused by the existence of local wisdom, which considers that mangroves are the nails of the earth that can prevent coastal abrasion. This local wisdom is maintained up to now, where the local community formed a group of mangrove lovers that aims to plant and conserve mangroves.

“…Thus, policy makers, environmentalist and researchers around the world are now looking for potential renewable energy resources to replace the conventional fossil fuel and at the same time reduce in emission [2]. Government of Malaysia has introduced various policies for sustainable energy development such as tax exemption and extra allowance [3].…”

“…which have resulted in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are risky to the environment (Chua and Oh 2010;Kumar and Garg 2013). That notwithstanding, the depletion of these fossil fuel reserves, coupled with their price fluctuations have driven many nations around the world in search of alternative sources such as wind, solar, biomass and hydro energy sources to either complement energy security or as a replacement to the existing conventional ways of electricity generation (Gan, Komiyama, and Li 2013). Though they have their own shortcomings of variable and intermittent characteristics due to weather condition, making them unreliable for a single sourced renewable energy to be used as standalone systems and may not be the best option for rural electrification; therefore, most researchers consider two or more energy sources forming a hybrid system with the application of different techniques such as analytical method, artificial intelligence, and use of software (Alliance for Rural Electrification, 2011).…”

This paper explores the feasibility of supplying power to a remote hospital in Vandeikya local government area of Benue state where the facility is strictly run by diesel generator. The average hourly electrical load demand data for the hospital was obtained by measuring electricity consumption from the power house using digital owl meter (CM 199). The annual average insolation for Vandeikya is 4.92 kWh/m 2 /d obtained from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory database. The simulation was carried out using HOMER Pro (Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources version 3.13.8). The average hourly electricity load demand data; cost of components and sizes; average annual insolation data, serve as input into the software. The results gave a net present cost (NPC) of ₦718,308,000.00 (Note:$ 1 equals ₦ 386.32 Naira as at 6 th July, 2020) as compared to diesel only with a cost of ₦9,060,974,000.00; the lifetime of the project considered is 25 years and an assumed real interest rate of 10% per annum, while the system offers a payback period of 1 year. The optimal system configuration is the system with diesel genset (300 kW), generic 500 kW biogas genset, generic flat plate PV (300 kW), generic 1kWh lead acid, and system converter (300 kW). The system has a yearly excess electricity of 411,771 kWh/yr which can be sold out and has no unmet load. It greatly reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. The hybrid PV/diesel/biomass gasifier system makes economic sense and is technically viable for Mbaakon hospital and those with similar load and weather conditions.
