Optimization modelling for environment pollutionmitigation as a result of energy activities in Tanzania

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Energy is essential in supporting people's daily lives and the continual quest for human development.Energy harvesting, production, distribution, and consumption have major environmental implications some of which are negative and the other positive.Insults include deforestation, land degradation and emission of GHG due to energy activities (harvesting, production and consumption) which has harmful effects to the natural as well as human environment but the greatest important abuse from energy systems is the repetitive and unintended release of pollutants.In this study the mathematical model for minimization of environmental pollutants caused by energy harvesting, production and consumption were presented.The objective of our study is to provide a model solution that will minimize the environment pollutant for Tanzania to achieve her development vision 2025 sustainably with clean and safe environment.The problem is solved as a linear programming problem using Zimmerman modified method algorithm and yield the solution by considering the fuzzy nature of the data in the model.
