Biogas harvesting from organic fraction of municipal solid waste as a renewable energy resource in Malaysia: a review

The accumulation of organic fraction in municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is now becoming scarce globally due to population and economic boosts, especially in Malaysia. Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills remain the predominant end-state for waste disposal in most developing countries. Unsustainable M...
