“…Since the insured will have to pay premiums based on the expected loss, the expected loss are calculated based on data from weather measuring stations does not reflect the real weather condition at the insured's area [6]. Apart from this problem, this insurance has been proven to be a functional tool that protects smallholder farmers from weather risks [7]. In addition, weather index based insurance can also be used for development goals where it could increase production [8].…”

Agriculture is particularly susceptible to weather fluctuations. Climate change and agriculture productivity are inextricably linked. Thus, agriculture insurance should be introduced in Malaysia to manage losses and help small farmers to be aid from financial risk that is linked to the impact of the weather conditions on the crop yield. This study presents an investigation on the implementation of weather index based crop insurance contract for the states with the high correlation between the crop production and weather indices. The main aim of the study is to identify the appropriateness of the index insurance to selected crops in different regions in Malaysia. The Rainfall Anamoly Index and Standardized Precipitation Index are chosen in this study. Crop data is detrended to remove presence of time trend before determining the correlation between weather indices. The study continued with the computation of the trigger and exit thresholds for weather indices that corresponds to the crop loss using model-based clustering which will be used to calculate the expected annual loss and pure premium for each crop in different locations. The results showed that only several crops in certain locations are affected by weather. This research also includes farmers’ affordability to pay for premium.

“…Climate Change conference in Paris witnessed the agreement of two extremely important long-term goals: significant reduction in the generated CO2 emissions across all industries and achieving net greenhouse gas neutrality. The process of net-zero carbon refers to the cognitive balance between the generation of anthropogenic emissions from all industrial sources and the continuous removal from sinks by the next 50 years [1][2][3].…”

Addressing escalating energy demands and greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas industry has driven extensive efforts in carbon capture and utilization (CCU), focusing on power plants and industrial facilities. Utilizing CO2 as a primary feedstock for industrial fuels and petrochemical materials offers a favorable alternative to sequestration, with byproducts substituting traditional chemical feedstocks. This comprehensive review explores the current landscape of CO2 capture technologies, examining opportunities, economic viability, and efficiency challenges. It provides a detailed analysis of various CO2 utilization methods and the combined process of capture and utilization. The review highlights primary obstacles in planning, production, and widespread implementation, emphasizing the need for strategic integration of materials research, process performance, and cost-effectiveness to advance new technologies.
