Rm. Shrestha et al., THE IMPLICATIONS OF EFFICIENT ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES FOR CO2 MITIGATION AND POWER-GENERATION - THE CASE OF NEPAL, International journal of environment and pollution, 9(2-3), 1998, pp. 237-252
This study assesses the potential of selected efficient electrical app
liances for CO2 mitigation and reduced power generation in Nepal, from
the technical as well as national, utility and user perspectives. The
study shows that entire amount of CO2 emission (about 1 million tons)
could be avoided by the selected efficient appliances during 1996-201
0 from the technical, national and utility perspectives. However, only
about 50% of the total CO2 emission could be mitigated cost-effective
ly from the user perspective at the prevailing electricity and applian
ce prices. The level of CO2 mitigation from the user perspective would
be significantly higher if an efficient electricity pricing policy we
re adopted.
