A group of chemical engineering students from Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) is suggesting algae as the next hot ingredient as a bio-fuel source.
The Engineering and Information Technology School students’ research showed algae produced about 250 times more oil per hectare of land compared to palm oil trees.
Their research was persuasive enough to win top spot in the technical presentation on bio-fuels at the National Chemical Engineers Symposium held at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) last August.
The third year students – Abeed Fatima Mohidin Batcha, Hanif Mohd Taffy Gan, Helen Chuo Sin Ee and Khoo Jia Yong – also argued that conditions in Malaysia were ideal for algae cultivation.
