Methane emission prediction and trading from anaerobic palm oil mill effluent treatment

Anthropogenic release of greenhouse gases has been recognized as one of the main causes of global warming. Several measures under the Kyoto Protocol have been drawn up to reduce the greenhouse gases emissions. There are six gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol which are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane...
