Approximately 60% of global electricity is produced via fossil fuels (British Petroleum Company, 2020), resulting in 13.2 giga tonnes (Gt) of CO2 annually (World Nuclear Association, 202. . We develop a framework to investigate levelized costs and GHG emissions for power generation in SIDS. The backbone of the presented framework is Mixed Integer Linear Programm. [pdf]
However, Trinidad and Tobago power generation capacity surpasses its current demand ( Inter- American Development Bank, 2015 ), which provides avenues for energy storage through low carbon H 2, MeOH and NH 3 production directly within the local downstream supply chain.
The authors greatly acknowledge the Trinidad and Tobago national electricity power produces for assisting in data collection and model verification. No funding sources were received for this study. Energ. J. ( 2018), 10.3390/en11061412
Trinidad and Tobago represents a unique case study as an industrial SID, whereby knowledge and guidance on multiple decision criteria can aid in reducing national carbon footprints.
Trinidad and Tobago is heavily dependent on its oil and gas reserves ( Fig. 3 ), petrochemical and other hydrocarbon related downstream industries ( Indar, 2019 ). Thus, the country is unique amongst SIDS and must maximise its benefit from these natural resources, in terms of energy production.
