Palm oil mill effluent (pome) biogas off-site utilization Malaysia specification and legislation

Biogas generated from anaerobic digestion of palm oil mill effluent (POME) is one of the highly potential renewable energy (RE) sources in Malaysia that can be used for a variety of application including electricity generation, heating and as fuel for vehicular transportation. While POME biogas can...
