INTRODUCTION OF IKOHZA

 

ALGAE AND BIOMASS RESEARCH LABORATORY

 

The focus of this iKohza is to tackle the issues related to green technology such as production of renewable energy and biomass, reduction of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse effect gas, from the air, using algae, especially microalgae.

Current students are developing a method or improving current methods, to combat various environmental issues using microalgae.  Among the keywords related t our ikohza is Biofuel, Astaxanthin, Tropical microalgae.

Microalgae used in our ikohza are isolated from the samples collected from various places in Malaysia. The reason is, because we believe the indigenous species is expected performance of the isolated species, rather than using species bought from another region.
