Enhancing Amusement Parks' Sustainability With Renewable Energy

Extreme global warming due to climate change is causing severe impacts on human society, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is crucial for social and economic development. In the economic field, amusement parks (APs) emit more GHG emissions than other categories in tourism sectors owing to visitor arrivals and electricity consumption. This research proposes integrating renewable energy (RE) power systems with amusement park rides (APRs) through new technology, transforming energy resources from fossil fuels in APs into RE resources, and eliminating emissions while maintaining the balance of economy and environment with a mathematical model to optimize the RE capacity and installed cost in APs.
