About the Published Research Study

The research paper titled
“Forecasting Malaysia’s Energy Consumption Dynamics A Sectoral Analysis Using Hybrid RF ANN Modeling and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways”
presents an advanced analytical framework to forecast Malaysia’s sector-wise energy demand up to the year 2050.

The study integrates a Hybrid Random Forest–Artificial Neural Network RF ANN model with Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP1 to SSP5, offering a data-driven approach to long-term energy planning.

Key Research Findings and Global Relevance

The study reveals critical insights into future energy consumption patterns

• Significantly lower energy demand under sustainability-oriented pathways
• Higher environmental and economic risks under fossil-fuel-intensive development scenarios
• Strong implications for energy security, climate resilience, and sustainable development

These findings provide valuable, evidence-based guidance for energy policymakers, researchers, and sustainability planners worldwide.
