Economic and environmental sustainability of low carbon power generation: relevancy in Malaysia green technology master plan (GTMP)

The Malaysia Green Technology Master Plan (GTMP) is a systematic framework and planning initiative to mitigate national CO2 footprints by targeting several sectors which include power generation (energy sector). Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze economic and environmental sustainabilit...

Economic and environmental sustainability of low carbon power generation: relevancy in Malaysia green technology master plan (GTMP)
description The Malaysia Green Technology Master Plan (GTMP) is a systematic framework and planning initiative to mitigate national CO2 footprints by targeting several sectors which include power generation (energy sector). Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze economic and environmental sustainability (via techno‐economic analysis) of CO2 mitigation technology (i.e. postcombustion CO2 capture system, PCC) that can be employed by the energy sector as a way forward for low‐carbon power generation. The analysis was performed by using a previously developed hybrid mixed integer nonlinear programming and model predictive control (MINLP‐MPC) algorithm.
