Design, fabrication & testing of water channel
Fossil fuel generates most of the energy in Malaysia. However, oil and gas in Malaysia are depleting now. Government of Malaysia has been identified renewable energy as fifth fuel under New Five-Fuel Diversification Strategy. Tidal energy is a renewable energy, which is also pollutant free, predicta...
