The tropical regions are predominantly inhabited by developing countries, which often encounter significant environmental challenges. Unlike countries with four distinct seasons, tropical countries experience a continuous summer-like season, resulting in abundant clean energy sources such as solar and biomass. Consequently, addressing environmental and energy issues in the tropics necessitates a distinct understanding and tailored approaches to solutions. This book presents a collection of studies exploring scenarios related to the environment, energy demand, and power generation technologies in the tropics. Many of the countries within the tropics are densely populated, leading to various environmental and energy-related problems. While the demand for energy in these regions continues to rise, simultaneous environmental concerns demand urgent attention. Given the mounting global concern over the environment, it is crucial to prioritize the use of clean and sustainable power generation technologies. The various reports on research activities conducted in the tropics on environmental and energy aspects presented in this book offer valuable insights for individuals seeking to improve the tropics' environment and energy systems.
