Utilization of Biomass to Ash: An Overview of the Potential Resources for Alternative Energy

Climate change and the potential depletion of fossil fuels have increased international demand for alternative and renewable energy sources. In terms of the energy sector, for example, most of the South-East Asian countries (SACs) have a large number of biomass sources due to their vast forest resou...
