Statistical Modelling of CO2 Emissions in Malaysia and Thailand

Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions is an environmental problem which leads to Earth's greenhouse effect. Much concerns with carbon dioxide emissions centered around the growing threat of global warming and climate change. This paper, however, presents a simple model development using multiple regression with interactions for estimating carbon dioxide emissions in Malaysia and Thailand. Five indicators over the period 1971-2006, namely energy use, GDP per capita, population density, combustible renewables and waste, and CO 2 intensity are used in the analysis. Progressive model selections using forward selection, backward elimination and stepwise regression are used to remove insignificant variables, with possible interactions. Model selection techniques are compared against the performance of eight criteria model selection process. Global test, Coefficient test, Wald test and Goodnessof-fit test are carried out to ensure that the best regression model is selected for further analysis. A numerical illustration is included to enhance the understanding of the whole process in obtaining the final best model.

Transportation Mode Selection using System Dynamics Approach

“…With the water crisis, China's energy policy will reap double benefits through progressive energy policy when increasing the share of wind power as part of the overall effort to diversify its electricity generation technologies. CO2 intensity are used in the analysis to presents a simple model development using multiple regression with interactions for estimating carbon dioxide emissions in Malaysia and Thailand [15].…”

Energy production, carbon emissions and economic growth in lower-middle income countries

“…Though, many previous studies were conducted to examine the determinants of CO 2 emissions in many countries, most of these studies (Danlami et al , 2017; Begum et al , 2015; Razak et al , 2013; Shahbaz et al , 2013; Wahid et al , 2013; Akpan and Akpan, 2012; Hui et al , 2012) concentrated mostly on the relationship between energy consumption, economic growth, population and CO 2 emissions without considering the simultaneous impacts of energy production, capital formation and FDI on CO 2 emissions. Furthermore, most of the studies on CO 2 emissions concentrated mostly on one country as the focus of analysis.…”

The Potential of Dye Synthesize Solar Cells for Mitigation Of Carbon (Iv) Oxide Emissions

“…The crystal structure of ZnO at ambient conditions is depicted in Figure 3. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that is colorless, odorless, incombustible, and non-toxic, and is generated during carbon combustion, organic compound decomposition, and living organisms' respiration (Hui et al, 2012). The release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere occurs when it is exposed to the air over a particular area and time period through natural phenomena or human activities such as burning fossil fuels (Begum et al, 2020).…”

“…Due to its long lifespan in the atmosphere, along with other gases, it becomes almost impossible to remove them once they are released (Begum et al, 2020). In case humans fail to control the emission of CO2, it could result in significant consequences such as climate change and global warming decomposition, and living organism respiration, resulting in a colorless, odorless, incombustible, and non-poisonous gas (Hui et al, 2012). The combustion of fossil fuels and other human activities contributes to the increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, which causes rising sea levels and loss of habitat due to Arctic ice melting (Rambeli-Ramli et al, 2018) and farmland destruction.…”
