CARBON CREDIT PROJECT
BIOMASS WASTE RECOVERY AND UTILISATION
Summary of the Project
Overview
The Malaysia Grouped Biomass Waste Recovery and Utilisation Project is designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by recovering biomass waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. By repurposing Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) from palm oil mills and wood chips from wood wastes, the project transforms biomass waste into a valuable resource for energy generation, biofuel, fertiliser production, and other sustainable applications.
By leveraging waste-to-energy technology and circular economy principles, this project contributes to industrial decarbonisation, landfill waste reduction, and sustainable resource utilisation.

-
Collection of biomass wastes from participating mills and industrial sites.
-
Pre-treatment process: Biomass is pressed and shredded to improve its combustion efficiency.
Biomass Recovery & Pre-Treatment
1
-
Biomass is dried using waste heat recovered from steam production at industrial plants.
-
This enhances energy efficiency while reducing additional energy input for biomass drying.
Drying & Energy Optimisation

Once processed, the biomass is repurposed into :
-
Thermal energy generation – Biomass combustion for industrial heating.
-
Electricity generation – As a renewable feedstock for power plants.
Sustainable Utilisation

How Does It Work?


Project Impact and Benefits
Reducing Carbon Emissions
By replacing fossil fuel-based energy sources with recovered biomass, the project significantly lowers GHG emissions and supports Malaysia’s net-zero commitments.
Promoting Industrial Decarbonisation
Industries can adopt biomass as a cleaner energy source, reducing reliance on coal and natural gas for heat and power generation.
Advancing the Circular Economy
The project diverts biomass waste from landfills, converting it into valuable resources for energy and agriculture.
Supporting Sustainable Agriculture
Processed biomass can be utilised as organic fertiliser, reducing dependence on chemical-based alternatives.
