Material flow analysis of carbon and material flow cost analysis in a selected oil palm plantation and palm oil mill / Muhamad Hariz Mohd Zain

To improve the imbalance global carbon cycle that cause global warming Malaysian Government is committed to reduce its carbon dioxide emission intensity to 40% GDP per capita by 2020 as compared to 2005 level. This research aims to determine the carbon stocks, carbon cycles and carbon metabolism in...
