Optimal solar thermal design palm oil refinery

Optimal solar thermal design palm oil refinery

One of the main contributors to global warming and climate change is the use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil to generate electricity. Energy demand continues to grow, and the fossil fuel consumption will most likely increase, resulting in a further increase in CO2 emissions. Solar energy has m...
