Research and development of energy from biomass in Malaysia

Energy is readily consumed at a rapid rate. Our present stocks and sources of energy will not last forever. In fact,petroleum feedstocks are estimated to last only a few decades more. Therefore,alternative sources of energy has to be discovered and harnessed to its full potential as a supplier of en...
