Malaysia produces approximately 168 million tonnes of biomass, including palm oil waste, rice husks, coconut debris, sugar cane waste, urban waste, and forestry waste. The abundance of biomass resources provides a competitive advantage over other renewable energy sources. However, the industry faces restrictions and challenges, such as high disposal costs, high electricity consumption, and related expenses. To address these issues, it is crucial to study the types of biomass available, current technology for biomass energy production (waste-to-energy), and relevant environmental motivations, initiatives, and legislation. This paper analyses the agricultural waste available for energy generation, existing technologies for converting waste into energy, and the role of environmental policies in the agricultural processing business. Energy recycling, which involves utilizing agricultural waste to generate electricity and thermal energy, is proposed as a viable solution. Several technologies are explored, including anaerobic digestion, gasification, incineration/combustion, and pyrolysis, each with advantages and disadvantages. Thermochemical processes are highlighted for their effectiveness, requiring minimal pre-treatment, shorter reaction times, and adaptability to various biomass feedstocks and climatic conditions. The implementation of incentives, initiatives, and policies by the Malaysian government serves as guidelines for the agricultural processing industry to adopt energy recycling practices. By emphasising energy sustainability and promoting green building initiatives, the industry can contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy landscape.","PeriodicalId":235296,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Energy and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139529071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the use of fossil fuels to meet this demand has led to the issue of CO2 emission and global warming, which prompting nations to undertake mitigation plans for further negative repercussions. Seeing the fact that extensive usage of non-renewable energies is the root cause of these negative effects, renewable energies have become the focus of most research. On top of that too, the implementation of clean energy is urgent to achieve sustainable development. Located in Southeast Asia, Peninsular Malaysia is surrounded by the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea, making it abundant in the source of hydrokinetic energy. Consequently, researchers have taken a keen interest in exploring marine renewable energy within the region. Coastal regions particularly, can significantly benefit from hydrokinetic energy. Henceforth, this study aims to provide a comprehensive approach to identify the optimal locations for marine hydrokinetic energy extraction in Peninsular Malaysia, considering all essential factors that influence decision-making.","PeriodicalId":235296,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Energy and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135761291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commonly, these green building are built based on opinion and knowledge of construction players such as contractors, developer and engineer and their most critical point is to earn more return on investment, and the practicability and functionality of buildings. However, public is the consumer for green buildings, thus sometimes should listen to the voice out from public. In order to raise public demand for green building, this study is aimed to identify the factors affecting the willingness of public on buying green residential property. There is a rating system that Green Building Index (GBI) as a measurement standard to green building certification in Malaysia. A literature review was performed, followed by a questionnaire survey and a total of fifty-three valid responses are obtained through snowball sampling method. Apart from that, Cronbach’s alpha and mean score analysis were performed in this study. The results revealed that “improve indoor air quality”, “enhance occupant comfort and health” and “lower greenhouse gas emission” were the most important factors affecting public to buy the green residential property. The results of this study could contribute that young generation nowadays actually is most focus on own health and comfortable rather than cost since all the top three ranking is related with indoor environment quality. However, majority young generation respondent is also one of the limitations for this study.","PeriodicalId":235296,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Energy and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115593619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To avoid the current situation going further, many countries started to implement sustainable green building development. Sustainable green building development tends to preserve and conserve the environment by using sustainable green material, decrease of negative impact from construction industry and improve on the building life cost cycle. Although the number of green buildings increased compared to last century, but adoption of sustainable green building in the Malaysian construction industry is considered slow. Besides, sustainable green building development also concerns social and economic aspects. This study will analyze the current status of green building development in Malaysia. The study has reviewed articles pertinent to green building development from reputable science databases. The result obtained showed the current status of green building development is decreasing due to the impact of Pandemic COVID-19. Furthermore, the results also showed the number of green buildings in Malaysia is comparatively low. This study provided a benchmark for policy makers and construction key stakeholders about the current status of green building development in Malaysia which can be utilized as a guideline in promoting green building development.","PeriodicalId":235296,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Energy and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115139568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Workers in the boiler plant face many safety risks due to the nature of the job. The work environment is often hot and noisy, consisting of several major equipment and operations involved in its process, and there is always a risk for crushing injuries, electrical shocks and burns, boiler fires and explosions, and contact with hazardous chemicals. Numerous activities performed in boiler operations are complex; these operations are hazardous and can cause accidents. This study aims to develop and propose risk management frameworks for working in a hazardous working environment at the boiler plant in Malaysia to prevent and control accidents and implement adequate safety and health management. Next, to analyze the risk factors and hazards for boiler operations based on the nature of work at the boilers in Malaysia using several methods: Bowtie Risk Assessment, Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). The result showed that the rate based on hazard sources in the boiler division has Extreme Risk levels (8%), High (14%), Medium (35%), and Low (43%). Risk assessment based on the type of hazard in the boiler division has risk levels ranging from high to the lowest score is the danger of Mechanical (25%), Electrical hazard (10%), chemical hazards (6%), and physical hazards (59%). The developed risk management framework with enhanced risk assessment techniques may solve the integration of sustainability aspects in boiler operations safety and risk management.","PeriodicalId":235296,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Energy and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130859671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
