“…People start to do basic calculations and discover that the prices of green building systems are high and require long payback periods, so they opt instead for traditional applications. A number of researchers identified the high cost of green buildings and technologies as a barrier (Alrashed & Asif, 2012;Chan, Qian, & Lam, 2009;Hwang & Ng, 2013;Iwaro & Mwasha, 2010;Lidula et al, 2007;Richardson & Lynes, 2007;Samari et al, 2013;Taleb & Pitts, 2009;Zhang, Platten, & Shen, 2011). In China, the high additional cost of green technologies is considered the top implementation barrier (Zhang, Platten, & Shen, 2011).…”

“…It is thus feasible to say that although implementing high technology and equipment saves energy in buildings, cost is considered a prime challenge (Iwaro & Mwasha, 2010). Lack of funding or financing difficulties are also financial barriers for green building systems (Lawrence et al, 2005;Lidula et al, 2007;Zhang & Wang, 2013). With regard to these barriers, lenders do not provide special funds to support technologies for building development (Zhang & Wang, 2013).…”

“…At the same time, the reverse outcome can be realized when no serious attention is given to energy regulations. Thus, the unavailability or limited existence of a government policy framework for energy conservation and efficiency represents a barrier to green building development (Alrashed & Asif, 2012;Chan, Qian, & Lam, 2009;Lidula et al, 2007;Samari et al, 2013;Zhang, Platten, & Shen, 2011;Zhang & Wang, 2013). Enforcing regulations is essential for the success of government strategies; the absence of an enforcement body can threaten the realization of these strategies, which include new established regulations related to green buildings.…”

Many countries around the globe have recently pursued sustainability. The public and governments are demanding sustainability due to worldwide environmental disasters caused by pollution and man-made activities that impact the ecological system. Green buildings represent a significant component of sustainability, as their construction is intended to reduce natural resources consumption through energy and water conservation. Saudi Arabia is one of the world's richest countries, but its number of certified green buildings is notably low. In addition, all of these buildings are certified by the US Green Building Council LEED rating system and not by a national organization. It seems that numerous barriers exist, slowing the development and diffusion of green buildings in Saudi Arabia. Through a systematic qualitative research approach, this research aims to explore barriers to the diffusion and adoption of green buildings in Saudi Arabia, which will facilitate the development of green buildings in Saudi Arabia. This research concludes the identification of 14 green building barriers, with lack of skilled personal and unsupportive government policies and regulations being the most significant barriers.

“…ASEAN member countries located in tropical area and the role of tropical forest in this area are important as carbon capture storage and the sources of timber and other forest products. The utilization of biomass to energy is less than 2% from the total potential in ASEAN region [11]. The increasing of hydrogen demand and less utilization of biomass energy in ASEAN became the motivation of this scenario policy to elaborate the possibility of bio-hydrogen network system between Japan and ASEAN in the near future.…”

Abstract-This article presents a case study about regional network of bio-hydrogen supply-chain to discover the key indicators of sustainability of bio-hydrogen energy network in initial stage. The sustainability factor is focus on CO 2 emission abatement from introduction of bio-hydrogen network scenarios in comparison with the conventional system. The conventional hydrogen production method is steam methane reforming (SMR) from natural gas in Japan. The proposed hydrogen production system is a gasification process due to waste woody biomass as a feedstock and it produce in ASEAN member countries and then exporting to Japan. The feedstock is waste wood due to logging activity and production of pulp paper and furniture in the natural forest and forest plantation. The Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) analysis estimated the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission in consideration of hydrogen form variation (liquid and gaseous phases). The results show that the high consumption of electricity in production system and the emission factor of electricity grid in each country play significant role to reduce CO 2 emission. Regional network of bio-hydrogen energy can be use for the international negotiation on climate change to drive the energy policy in national and local scale.Index Terms-Bio-hydrogen, waste woody, LCI, energy network.
