Review on CO2 emission from transportation sector in Malaysia

Transportation-related emissions are the dominant contributing source of air pollutants today. Considering the negative impacts of transportation-related emissions on our social and economic environment, extensive efforts have been made by researchers and practitioners attempting to find solutions t...
