MODELLING & OPTIMIZATION OF CO2 EMISSION IN PEFB DERIVED BIO-SYNTHETIC NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION VIA PHYSICAL ABSORPTION

The final year project titled modelling and optimisation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in palm empty fruit bunch (PEFB) derived bio-synthetic natural gas production via physical absorption has been reported. The anthropogenic CO2 emission has responsibility for global warming and climate changes...
