Abstract
Global warming is a major world concern and it is predicted that average global temperature will rise up to 4.5 oc by 2030. The effects of global warming for Malaysia would include decline of agricultural output, loss of mangrove basin and reduced efficiency of fossil fuel based power plant. Human activities which release more greenhouse gases are identified as the major contributor to the global warming effects. 74% of total greenhouse gases are Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and 55% of it is coming from fossil fuel burning and cement processing. In Malaysia, the CO2 emissions have increased 118% from 1990 to 1998, against only 8% in global change.Meanwhile, the oil palm industry creates about 4 million tonnes of oil palm shell (OPS) waste in 2007.
