Description:	This study forecasts and evaluates total energy consumption and emission from the road transportation sector in Malaysia under various alternative policy scenarios. Furthermore this study estimates the elasticities of road transport energy demand in Malaysia with its various determinant factors. The aim of this study is to identify the potential energy or economic policies that would be effective in reducing the future growth of road transport energy consumption and emission in Malaysia. The Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) Model is used to forecast road transport energy consumption and emission of pollutants (CO2, CO, NOx and NMVOC) in Malaysia from 2012 till 2040 under a Business as Usual (BAU) scenario and five other alternative policy scenarios of Increased Share of Buses (BUS), Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Biodiesel Vehicles (BIO) and Fuel Economy Standard (FES). In addition a Partial Adjustment Model is used to estimate the elasticities of the determinants of road transport energy demand and also to forecast road transport energy consumption in Malaysia from 2012 till 2040 under a Business as Usual (BAU) scenario and two other alternative policy scenarios of Vehicle Quota System (VQS) and Alternative Fuel Pricing (AFP). Results from LEAP model indicate that the highest mitigation of road transport energy consumption in comparison to BAU takes place in BUS scenario followed by FES, NGV, BIO and lastly HEV. The rank order of alternative policy scenarios according to mitigation potential of CO2 emissions is also BUS, FES, NGV, BIO and HEV and for CO, NOx and NMVOC emissions is BUS, FES, NGV, HEV and BIO. The Partial Adjustment Model provides the fuel price and vehicle number elasticity values of road transport energy demand. Additionally the model specifies that the mitigation of road transport energy consumption is higher in AFP than VQS scenario.,Master / Sarjana
