Energy production from sewage sludge in Malaysia

Market instability, environmental concerns and various types of crises in fossil fuel industry have led the researchers, scientists and industries look for sustainable fuel and energy sources. Biomass is one of the potential sustainable source of energy, which has the possibilities not only to suppo...
