Apa khabar biodiesel Malaysia yek?


Satu usaha yang menarik. Di Malaysia macam mana yek dengan segala usaha nak 'mendiesel' kan bahan-bahan buangan dari jerami, bahan buangan dari kelapa sawit, sampah sarap dll.

Adakah usaha ini terbantut setelah bertukarnya menteri-menteri. Jika dibuat satu polisi yang baik, insyallah segala usaha ini akan berhasil dengannya.

Got milk? Convert it into biofuel

There’s no use crying over spilled milk in Japan. Not when it can be converted into biogas.

As the alternative energy movement picks up steam, researchers are increasingly looking to their local communities for tons of organic waste that could be transformed into more environmentally friendly biofuels. At the Nigata Institute of Technology in Kashiwazaki, Japan, that mindset has spurred scientists to give new life to spoiled milk and rotting jellyfish. At the University of California at Davis, engineers have repurposed table scraps from swank Bay Area restaurants. And at the United Kingdom’s University of Birmingham, researchers have diverted gooey nougat, caramel and other confectionary waste from the nearby Cadbury Schweppes plant.

Who knew that Cadbury Creme Eggs could be good for the environment?
