CREG managed to get another Silver Award during Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE) 2009 at PWTC, KL on 19-21th Feb 2009. Congratulation to those involved in the program. Your hard efforts are very much appreciated.

There was a video shooting in CREG lab conducted by TV3 for Iskandar Malaysia. Pictures will be uploaded soon. The crew production involved were Aidid Marcelo (Remaja and Majalah 3, TV3) and team. Me (Mailin), Linda and Prof NASA were acting in the shooting. What a marvelous experience!! Special thanks to Mr. Zaki for coming [...]

2. Silver Medal, Industrial Art Technology Exhibition (INATEX), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia, Aug 2008.

The project is ready to be closed within this couple of month. 7 papers and 1 book chapter were produced via this project. CREG members are encouraged to propose new proposal for grant application.

One of our paper entitled Pretreatment of Empty Palm Fruit Bunch for Production of Chemicals via Catalytic Pyrolysis has recently been accepted to be published in Bioresource Technology, Elsevier. We are currently in the process of developing new paper for high impact-factor international journal.

Congratulation to all CREG members.
Your high commitment in developing the proposals has been compensated by the grant funded by ExxonMobil.
Yeah..go..go!!
Malaysia BOLEH! CREG BOLEH!

ABSTRACT
An innovative process offers an environmental friendly technology for the production of alternative energy from a sustainable renewable resource. In the new process, EFB-Diesel is innovatively produced from biomass via a two-step reaction of pretreatment and pyrolysis. The reaction produced highly valuable oil (EFB-Diesel), gaseous and char. The conversion and the yield of EFB-Diesel were [...]

Dear friends,
As mentioned previously, the EPFB project has contributed to 8 papers publication for national and international journal & proceedings. Below are the details about the publication.
1.       Pyrolysis of Lignin Degraded Empty Palm Fruit Bunch to Important Chemicals. Has submitted to Bioresource Technology on Oct 2008. (Status: under review)
2.       Pre-treatment of Empty Palm Fruit [...]

One of the CREG’s research project will be completed this end of year after 2 years being carried out. The project entitled “Production of Biofuel from Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) via Integrated Catalytic System” funded by the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation (MOSTI) was started at Dec 2006.
This project, leaded by Prof. Dr. Nor [...]
