    Grant Awarded: 
    Universiti Malaya Impact-Oriented Interdisciplinary Research Grant

    Project Description: 
    A sub-project under Universiti Malaysia’s program, Optimisation of biogas production from palm oil mill effluent (pome) using IR 4.0 for positioning as a higher value renewable energy resource in Malaysia, this project involved examining consumers’ intentions to adopt renewable energy products including biogas by focusing on socio-psychological motivations. An online questionnaire was used to gather data, resulting in 435 responses which were then analysed using structural equation modelling.
