The Prospect of Microalgal Biodiesel using Agro-Industrial and Industrial Wastes in Malaysia

The world's biodiesel demand is rising from day to day due to the urgency to tackle fuel crisis, greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and climatic changes in the near future. This alternative energy will minimize the dependency on fossil fuels while guarantees a continuous energy supply and upholds...
