Feasibility study for an integrated energy system (wave and underwater current energy) / Jafri Baharum

A recent government study concludes that Renewable Energy resources in Malaysia will amount to more than RM500 billion between year of 2000 and 2020. This underscores the vast untapped potential for industries and businesses to benefit from developing new methods and markets, while creating economic...
