Abstract
The worsening depletion of nature reserves and the deterioration of environment
make the integration of several environmental assessment tools increasingly
important and more relevant to be further developed. Terengganu is one of the
states in Malaysia with high amount of biomass contents from agricultural wastes
that are currently not used as useful resources. Therefore, this study was conducted
to evaluate the biomass flow balance from the agricultural wastes in an integrated
framework using a combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA) into Material Flow Analysis (MFA) technique. Three
parameters were selected to be analysed in the agriculture system of Terengganu,
namely Agriculture waste (AgW), Nitrogen (N) and Biomass Energy (BE).
