An Optimum Biomass Supply Network Synthesis Using the Elemental Targeting Approach

Malaysia has been relying on fossil fuels as the major source of energy despite the global trend in transitioning towards using renewable energy. It is crucial for the country to execute energy transformation to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. Malaysia with its agriculture industries as one key...
