The work harnesses the power of naturally abundant zeolites (minerals formed in volcanic rock and ash layers, and traditionally used in cement and building stones) in waste-to-energy technology applications, making them cost and energy effective. The group is also investigating the use of grass as a raw material for producing biofuels.” https://www.timeshighereducation.com/hub/king-abdulaziz-university/p/environmentLink to all my full papers in pdfs: https://kau.academia.edu/MohammadRehan
