In the palm oil industry alone, a biomass potential of up to 80 million tons a year provides a tremendous opportunity for the production of storable bio-energy in form of pellets & briquettes. The Malaysian Government has also given priority in this area with its National Biomass Strategy 2020 initiative launched in With Malaysia s huge potential in the biomass sector, the German experience can serve as an excellent example and oﬀer smart partnership opportunities.
