Research Management Center congratulates Dr. Thien Vun Yee from XMUM Innovation Center on her publication of a review article in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, a Tier 1 journal on Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, with a latest impact factor of 14.98. This research is a collaboration with the Biotechnology Research Institute of Universiti Malaysia Sabah.

Seaweed is an excellent source of protein and bioactive compounds for both humans and animals, as well as a biomass feedstock for renewable energy. The review article “Seaweed: A potential climate change solution” discusses the potential of seaweed as a blue carbon habitat, a massive carbon sink, and a renewable and sustainable energy source to combat climate change. According to the authors, seaweed-based regenerative ocean farming can efficiently restore marine ecosystems, driving a sustainable bioeconomy in producing countries.
