Vol. 2 No. 4 (2023): November 2023 Issue

The November 2023 issue of Future Energy Journal brings together research on climate, urban energy, energy efficiency, hybrid power systems, and sustainable fuels. The issue examines seasonal variations in surface energy balance and urban heat island effects, along with strategies to reduce residential energy costs through peak-shaving programs. It also explores off-grid hybrid power systems combining micro-hydro and diesel generation for remote communities in Bangladesh, and evaluates biodiesel production from used cooking oil in Laos as an alternative to petroleum-based fuels. Together, these studies highlight practical approaches to improving energy sustainability, efficiency, and resilience across diverse environments.
