摘要
津巴布韦的旅游业因其自然奇观和文化遗产而闻名于世,但却面临着迫在眉睫的能源危机,其根源在于过度依赖化石燃料和对大量沉睡的废物资源利用不足。文章调查了六个自变量(垃圾填埋场气体回收和厌氧消化、热解和气化、焚烧、沼气生产、生物柴油生产、乙醇生产和合成气发酵)与一个因变量(能源开发和可持续性)之间的多方面关系。本研究采用了定量方法,通过简单随机抽样技术从旅游业供应链中的 519 个利益相关者处收集数据,并使用 Krejcie 和 Morgan 表确定样本量。通过谷歌表格发放问卷,并使用智能 PLS 进行数据分析。统计结果表明,变量之间存在直接的重大关系,所有假设的 t 统计量值均大于 1.96 的临界值,最小值为 2.911,最大值为 9.431。这些发现强调了津巴布韦旅游业中废物变能源技术与能源开发和可持续发展之间关系的稳健性。这些经验证据突出表明,这些创新技术在缓解能源危机和促进能源可持续发展方面具有巨大潜力。
Energizing the future: Unleashing the potential of innovative waste-to-energy technologies for energy development and sustainability within Zimbabwe's tourism sector.
Zimbabwe's tourism industry, renowned for its natural wonders and cultural heritage, faces a looming energy crisis rooted in the detrimental over-reliance on fossil fuels and the underutilization of substantial waste resources that lie dormant. The article investigates multifaceted relationship between six independent variables: landfill gas recovery and anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis and gasification, incineration, biogas production, biodiesel production, ethanol production and syngas fermentation and one dependent variable: energy development and sustainability. In this study, a quantitative methodology was adopted, involving the gathering of data from 519 stakeholders in the tourism supply chain through a simple random sampling technique, with the sample size determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table. The distribution of questionnaires was facilitated through Google Forms, and the data analysis was conducted using Smart PLS. Statistical findings indicate direct significant relationship between variables, and t-statistic values all hypotheses were all greater than the threshold of 1.96, ranging from a minimum of 2.911 to a maximum of 9.431. These findings underscore the robustness of the relationships between the waste-to-energy technologies and energy development and sustainability within Zimbabwe's tourism sector. This empirical evidence highlights the substantial potential for these innovative technologies to play a pivotal role in mitigating the energy crisis and fostering sustainable energy development.
