Multi-Products Productions from Malaysian Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB): Analyzing Economic Potentials from the Optimal Biomass Supply Chain

The economic potentials of Malaysian oil palm empty fruit bunch are realized by several motivating factors such as abundance, cheapness and are generally feasible to produce multi-products that range from energy, chemicals and materials. Amid continuing supports from the government in terms of polic...
