A compilation and analysis of data on household energy in eight non-OPEC developing countries: India, Brazil, Mexico (limited to Mexico City), Republic of Korea, the Sudan, Pakistan, Malaysia, and Guatemala. The report explores the level and composition of total fuel consumption by households at different income levels within each country. Comparisons are made between urban and rural areas in the same country, as well as among countries. For Korea and Pakistan, the study further explores the effect of household size on energy consumption. In most cases, the data reflect consumption both of commercial fuels such as oil, coal, and electricity, and of so-called noncommercial fuels such as firewood, animal dung, and crop residues. The purpose is to bring the relevant data together for use in other research, to draw tentative conclusions regarding patterns of fuel use in the household sector, and to note the policy implications of those patterns.

The waste of oil and gas in the Gulf erodes economic resilience and increases security risks. This is the first report to offer practical recommendations that address the key challenges of governance, political commitment, and market incentives from the perspectives of member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE).

Renewable Resources: A Systematic Approach focuses on the use of renewable resources, presenting a multifaceted perspective on its complex process. This book analyzes the social and physical impacts of renewable resource exploitation through different approaches. The importance of photosynthesis in the production of biomass is also presented, as well as the processes of substitution technology and the possibilities of systemizing the flow of energy and materials. This publication likewise covers the management of renewable resources from humid tropics and semiarid zones and components of non-renewability, which unavoidably will be more and more linked to the exploitation of renewable resources. This compilation is valuable to biologists who search for new techniques for the massive propagation of plants, as well as chemists who intend to acquire knowledge of chemical alternatives for the conversion of many sources of raw materials and energy to cellulose.
