Impacts of Energy Management Practices on Energy Efficiency and Carbon Emissions Reduction: A Survey of Malaysian Manufacturing Firms

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most prevalent Greenhouse gas (GHG) produced by human activities. Industrialization has been among the primary factors for increased CO2 production, mostly through the consumption of electricity and the burning of fossil fuels. To investigate the current practices of ener...
