This study aims to analyse energy scenarios of Bhaktapur Municipality through primary data survey of 165 houses as a function of household's characteristics. Three scenarios are considered business-as-usual (BAU), Sustainable Energy scenario (SED) and Accelerated Growth Scenario (AGS). BAU, SED and AGS show an expected energy growth at annual rates...

This paper is an attempt to find out the required optimum number of vehicles in the Top Ten Routes of Kathmandu Valley which was found from the 163 number of routes of our study on the basis of total travel demand measured in passenger-km per year. The transportation optimization model has been prepared on the Microsoft-Excel Spreadsheet & the opti...

Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) including black carbon (BC), methane (CH4), and tropospheric ozone (O3) are major climate forcers after carbon dioxide (CO2). These SLCPs also have detrimental impacts on human health and agriculture. Studies show that the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region, which includes Nepal, has been experiencing the impac...

This paper examined the energy planning in each province, sustainable technology policy interventions in the energy demand and social cost benefit analysis in energy sector for Nepal in the federal structure over the period 2017-2050 using LEAP-IBC modeling framework. Four scenarios were developed, reference, Low economy, accelerated economy and su...

This study aims to analyse energy scenarios of residential sector in Panauti Municipality for sustainable energy development and energy security. This study was done by conducting a questionnaire survey, and was supported by secondary data from various sources. Data analysis was carried out with the help of excel and LEAP software. From the results...

p> This research is carried out to assess the current status of municipal solid waste of municipalities of Nepal and its potential for energy recovery. During the year 2016, solid waste samples were collected by door-to-door collection method and the total energy content of the municipal waste was calculated using Bomb Calorimeter in the laboratory...

Energy is vital for the economic prosperity andsocial development of any country. Future energy demandprojection is the basis for sustainable energy planning.The study presents the possible long term energy demandscenarios of Nepal using Model for Analysis of EnergyDemand (MAED). The base year for the analysis has beentaken as 2017 while the low (B...

The inference of this study lies mainly in identifying and prioritizing financial parameters based on which financial institutions are considered efficient. This study attempts to find out the current performance of commercial banks in Nepal and develop a multi criteria model to check the health and status of these banks. This research will explore...

Energy is the crucial element for sustainable development of country. Unless the energy sector is geared up for efficient, secure and indigenous sustainable resources, the economy cannot move forward on a higher growth path. Access to reliable and affordable energy services is fundamental to reducing poverty, increasing productivity, enhancing comp...

This paper employs an integrated model for analysis of energy demand and MARKet ALlocation modelling framework for assessing different pathways for the development of energy systems of Nepal. Four energy scenarios are analysed with the time horizon from 2010 to 2030. With high electrification and energy efficiency and demand-side management, the an...

Urbanization is a common characteristic of a developing country. Whilst urbanization is an indicator of development, it demands high utilization of resources. The urbanization rate of Nepal is one of the highest in South Asia and among developing countries as well. Kathmandu Valley is the chief center of the urban transition in Nepal. This study is...

Energy situation of Nepal at present is very critical. Lingering energy crisis holds back economic advancement of the nation. Hours of power cut even in wet season depict perilous living standard of people. To estimate the future energy scenario, MARKAL modeling framework was used based on current energy statistics. Four scenario were assessed, bus...
