The goal of this project is the reduction of the growth rate of GHG emissions from fossil fuel fired combustion processes and unutilized biomass waste through the acceleration of the growth of biomass-based power generation and combined heat and power (CHP). The main idea is to supplant part of the current fossil fuel consumption for power generation in Malaysia using biomass resources from the country's palm oil industry. The project purpose is to develop and exploit the energy potentials of biomass waste resources in the country through biomass-based power generation and CHP.
