Proposed Integrated Model to Conserve Energy and Mitigate Greenhouse Gas

Conserving energy consumption and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions go a long way in improving the productivity and development of a nation and global community. Developing a model to handle both scenarios at the same time would be a plus to achieving desired economic development and social stability. Various models represent the attributes responsible for both energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This study considered the Index Decomposition Analysis, Artificial Neural Networks and Data Envelopment Analysis in their various involvements to analyze energy consumption and greenhouse gas possible mitigation. Their involvement in the energy and greenhouse gas literature led to the proposed integrated model for this study with the three models for the purpose of conserving energy consumption and mitigating greenhouse gases at the same time.
