Estimation of energy usage in oil palm plantation at hilly area / Musthaffa Afifi Azmi

This case study aims to estimate the energy usage and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in oil palm plantation at hilly area. Energy that use from the machinery will affect the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. An example of the gas emitted from the machinery is water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitro...
