Green technology can inevitably mitigate present day problems related to energy and environment. Nonetheless, awareness on green technology is still lacking in many parts of the world. This book delves into some of the numerous efforts on research in green technology, particularly in Malaysia. Advances in Green Technology should be of interest to university students, academics, researchers and environmentalists, to name a few.
