Abstract Malaysia, as one of the highest producers of palm oil globally and one of the largest exporters, has a huge potential to use palm oil waste to generate electricity since an abundance of waste is produced during the palm oil extraction process. In this paper, we have first examined and compared the use of palm oil waste as biomass for electricity generation in different countries with reference to Malaysia. Some areas with default accessibility in rural areas, like those in Sabah and Sarawak, require a cheap and reliable source of electricity. Palm oil waste possesses… More >

Abstract The nation deserves to learn what India’s future energy demand will be in order to plan and implement an energy policy. This energy demand will have to be fulfilled by an adequate mix of existing energy sources, considering the constraints imposed by future economic and social changes in the direction of a more sustainable world. Forecasting energy demand, on the other hand, is a tricky task because it is influenced by numerous micro-variables. As a result, an macro model with only a few factors that may be predicted globally, rather than a detailed analysis for… More >

Abstract Many recent studies are concerned with low cost, easy to handle and alternative renewable energy as a feasible solution for the upcoming crisis of energy shortage. Microalgae are unicellular entities the can only depend on CO2, water and solar power to cover their nutritional needs. The current study is concerned with using algal cells in a polymeric hydrogel, as a cheap source of energy for electricity generation. Chlorella vulgaris has been proved to be a promising algal species for electricity generation, as compared with Micractinium reisseri. PVA hydrogel has been used for the immobilization of both algal… More >
