Al-samet, Mohamed Abdulrahman (author), Goto, Masafumi (author), Mubarak, Nabisab Mujawar (author), Al-Muraisy, S.A.A. (author)The ever-increasing organic waste generation in Malaysia is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, organic wastes can be utilized to produce biogas by anaerobic digestion, which is a promising option for both energy and material recovery from organic wastes with high moisture content. Therefore, this study was...journal article 2021
