BIOMASS WASTE POTENTIAL AND ITS EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION IN MALAYSIA INCLUDING AN EXPERIMENTALWORK ONWOOD TORREFACTION

This project studied on the current utilization of biomass wastes in Malaysia and discovers the potential of biomass wastes as one of the alternative energy resources. Based on the literature review that had been conducted, the utilization ofbiomass waste as a replacement offossil fuel in Malaysi...
