Hello and welcome to our final post. today we would like to share our experience.
A few weeks ago, we had interviewed an expertise in renewable energy, Madam Noor. She's an owner of Indori Nasi Padang Restaurant and Jatropha Subur Sdn. Bhd. We had recorded our interview for future references. that's all for today! thanks for spending your time reading this blog and hopefully you'll gain some knowledge about renewable energy after reading this blog. thanks! |

Assalamualaikum everyone! Today we will discuss about bio energy.
The biomass is valuable because of its chemical composition. Most of the biomass is carbon based and composed of mixtures of organic molecules; such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, alkali and heavy metal.
Biomass comes from variety of sources such as sewage, municipal solid waste, animal residues and others.
biomass energy can be produced from starch (glucose) it is ready to recover and convert from grain into products. it is also a primary feedstock for sugar based bioproducts and also fuel ethanol industry.
lignocellulosic biomass
a non grain portion of biomass often referred as agricultural stover or residues. such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.
cellulose is a nature's polymer. it is chemically stable and insoluble.
There are 6 major types of biopower systems such as direct fired, cofiring, gasification, pyrolisis, anaerobic digestion and small and modular.
Biomass gasifiers work in four steps.
The 1st one is drying. The water vapour is driven off the biomass.
The 2nd step is pyrolisis. As the temperature increases, the dry biomass decomposes into organic, vapours, gases, carbon and tars.
The next step is reduction, the water vapour reacts with carbon, producing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane. Carbon dioxide reacts with carbon to produce more carbon monoxide.
The last one is combustion; some of the char and tars burn with oxygen from air to give heat and carbon dioxide. This heat enables the other stages of the gasification process to take place.

Hello everyone! On today’s post, let’s talk about the economic on renewable energy.
Renewable energy brings a lot of economic advantages such as renewable energy brings little to no global warming emissions. Renewable energy also improves public health and environmental quality because it produces no CO2 emission. It has a vast and inexhaustible energy supply. In addition, it provides a lot of economic benefits and jobs for the community at the energy power plant. Since the energy will not be depleted and always available, the energy prices are stable throughout the years.
On the other hand, renewable energy also brings disadvantages because of its non-suitability for certain regions. For example, Malaysia does not have reliable wave for harnessing wave energy. Second, it consumes high initial cost to build a power plant such as solar power plant.
Based on the figure below, there is an increasing growth in electricity generation from renewable sources throughout the year. It shows that renewable energy is an international expanding asset.
There are a lot of countries that initiates emission reduction initiatives

Assalamualaikum and hello to all readers!
Bienvenue! Welcome to our lovely little blog. So recently,
our lecturer asked us to create a blog about ‘Development and Scenario of
Renewable Energy in Malaysia’ as an assignment and we thought it would be
fantastic. We would really love the pleasure to write on a blog and to share
our knowledge about renewable energy in Malaysia with our fellow readers.
First of all, let’s talk about the definition of renewable
energy.
What is renewable energy? renewable energy is energy which can be obtained from natural resources that can be constantly replenished.
There are a lot of types of renewable energy.
Bio energy
Geothermal Energy
Hydropower
Wave energy
Solar energy
Wind energy
That’s all for today, see you on our next post! Thanks for
reading. Lots of love!
