Implementing Green Energy in our Daily Life

Many articles were mentioning about implementing green energy for achieving carbon neutrality. Unfortunately, we are ambiguous about the implementation. We have discussed carbon neutrality in many articles, now we want to talk about the approach to achieve carbon neutrality. One of the strategies is switching the energy source from coal to green energy, but this will definitely incur an impact on energy cost.

Even though achieving carbon neutrality is our ultimate goal but we have to implement it wisely so that it will not sacrifice the overall economy, and make it not sustainable.

Implement green energy is a way to achieving sustainable Carbon Neutrality.

Switching to Green Energy

Renewable Energy — Solar Energy – Green Energy

Promote and encourage the use of green energy is a way to reduce carbon footprint in the environment. However, fossil fuel and coal which is more cost-effective than any green energy. Hence, bringing down the overall green energy cost becomes the key challenge to determine if consumers are willing to switch to green energy.

From the economic, we understand the cost is affected by two importance factors:

Scale
Productivity

If both the usage of green energy scale and productivity could be improved, then we have enjoyed the fruit of green energy. Furthermore, we will also reduce the carbon footprint and achieving carbon neutrality in long run.

Implement Green Energy

We need a sustainable strategy while comes to implement green energy in our society. We have to set up a strategy in order to achieve a sustainable carbon neutrality goal. There is a three-way implementing green energy strategy setup:

Green Energy Production
Energy Transmission
Consumer

This three-way energy triangle becomes a course-effect relation, any improvement will promote the growth for the next categories.

For instance, the improvement of Green Energy Production will nourish the growth of Energy Delivery. Furthermore, the convenience of Energy Transmission will encourage Consumers to consume this green energy. As a result, green energy consumption will become the catalyst to enhance energy production.

The Implementation Stages

The 3-ways strategy setup for green energy are the important pillars for implementing green energy. Let us discuss a little details for individual steps.

Green Energy Production

Solar energy is one of the green energy. Perhaps, this sector is the key green energy source. So, converting solar energy to electric power is a photovoltaic process. The efficiency of energy conversion and energy storage becomes a challenge for the industry.

The improvement of photovoltaic for the past 10 years is enormous. With the technology improvement, the photovoltaics cost is reduced 89% since 10 years ago. With the technology improvement, the industry is looking for half the cost in the next 10 years.

Energy Transmission

In Malaysia, most of the population and industry are located on the west coast, whereby east cost has less crowded. Hence, the east coast could be a good location for developing green energy production, this includes solar and offshore wind energy.

In this case, the transmit of east coast energy to the west coast becomes a challenge. In order to reduce the energy loss during the energy transmission, one of the methods is implementing Ultra High Voltage (UHV) technology. Current high-voltage transmission is carried out at 220kV, whereby UHV technology will increase to 800kV. Among all the UHV development, China is leading in the world for now. Our reader is advised to understand the situation in the China UHV video clip.

Consumers

How we are going to encourage consumers to adopt green energy in Malaysia? You are right, let’s move toward the electric car. The government is giving incentives for electric cars so that fossil fuel consumption will reduce and replace by green energy.

The needs and convenient access of green energy becomes the driver for Green Energy Production.

There is no shortcut to implement green energy. There are many challenges along the way. This article reveals a method and strategy for how green energy could slowly come into our life with minimum cost impact. I believe, there are many other approaches while the time comes.

The Carbon Neutrality

You should have noticed that many countries already started talking about carbon neutrality. Europe already made an announcement that they want to achieve carbon neutrality in the year 2050. Whereby the China government also announced achieving carbon neutrality in the year 2060.

Many should have said that there are at least 30 years from now, but time is running short. Unless we are having some basic fundamentals from several aspects, else we are unable to fulfill the goal.

Carbon neutrality is to ensure neutral impact on environment.

What is Carbon Neutrality

The carbon over here stands for carbon dioxide discharge from human activity into the environment. In our daily life, we are creating carbon dioxide via our breathing, activity, manufacturing, etc. The carbon discharge indicates the footprint of human activities on the environment.

In order to maintain a sustainable living environment for our next generation, many countries have pledged to achieve neutrality in the year 2050 or 2060. The carbon-neutral means the amount of carbon discharge from the human is equal to the amount of carbon absorbed.

The first step to achieve carbon neutrality is reducing the carbon footprint.

Let me show you some figure why achieving carbon neutral is not a simple assignment even though the strategy could be simple, plant more trees.

The Carbon Amount

Many say the absorb of carbon dioxide is simple, can be achieved by the photosynthetic of a tree. The leaf needs carbon dioxide in order to carry out the photosynthetic process, hence the tree has become the hope to absorb the human discharged carbon dioxide. Let see what is the figure says.

The Carbon Discharge & Absorb

This is the figure from the USA government. An adult is generating 270kg of carbon dioxide every year. Whereby, a 10 years-old woody plant only able to absorb 22kg of carbon dioxide per year. This means an adult needs 12 woody-trees in order to offset his carbon discharges every year.

By the way, do you think the tree itself is creating carbon dioxide? For instance, a fallen leaf is rotten, and this process also consumes oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide into the environment. So by simply planting more trees may not be sufficient to achieve carbon neutrality.

Technology Application

By understanding the human carbon footprint and the carbon discharges figure, we could conclude that planting trees or back to nature kind of lifestyle may not be sufficient to achieve carbon neutral. In short, we need technology improvement to help us in reducing carbon discharge.

Reduce CO2 Discharge

Among these 3 petroleum products, coal, gasoline, and natural gas, coal is charging the most CO2 among the 3. And natural gas is less CO2 discharge. Under this circumstance, reducing the coal application is the goal. Even though coal is still the highest energy source consumed every year but the trend is reduced since the year 2013. However, the world is consuming 8.5million tons of coal per year and this converts to 30billion tons of CO2. It is really a huge figure.

We are seeing more and more choices of renewable energy are introduced into the overall energy supply industry.

Improve CO2 Absorbtion

The leaf absorbs CO2 by the photosynthesis process but the absorption rate is low. Furthermore, not every place we can plant trees. So engineer is identifying an efficient way to collect the CO2 discharge. One of the technology is collecting the CO2 at the discharge area and converted to carbonate mineral via a chemical process. Under this technology, the CO2 is contained and not discharged to the environment. This also fulfills the greenhouse effect too.

We believe with the worldwide effort, more technology is yet to improve and reduce the CO2 discharge into the environment. From current technology and energy consumption, achieving carbon neutrality still, be a great challenge.

The Choices for Renewable Energy

Renewable energy all the while is the main topic in the energy sector. With the technology development, many have thought that we should have built an alternative other than fossil fuel.

No doubt, we are seeing many choices for energy sources unfortunately we are still far behind in practical application. In this article, we are going to analyze the pro and cons of this century’s energy topic.

Renewable Energy is always drawing everybody’s attention, however, it comes along with great challenges too! The aspect from Technical, Cost, and Management.

What is Renewable Energy

Currently, most of the energy source is coming either from petroleum or coal. Both are derived from fossil fuels which classify under non-renewable products.

Petroleum products have supported a decade of industrial development. This is the moment for us to explore cleaner energy and becomes a sustainable energy source for us to live on the planet.

Features for Renewable Energy

A renewable energy is having below characters:

Generate via renewable resources.
Cleaner in terms of less CO2 and dust emission.
Sustainable energy sources.
Replenish naturally and constantly.

As we are aware, air pollution is one of the severe environmental challenges. This is because particulate and CO2 are generated and emitted into the air. Attention and hope are placed on the greener and sustainable new energy source.

Renewable Energy Choices

Coal and petroleum products consider as non-renewable products, so renewable sources are.

Solar Energy.
Wind Power Energy.
Hydropower.
Bioenergy, such as Biomass.
Nuclear Energy.

There are several sectors besides the above. However, the emphasis is on the above 5 sectors. By quick glance, these 5 sectors are having a good prospect, unfortunately, there are many technical barriers which need to overcome.

The Challenges for New Energy Source

Adapting a new energy source requires support from every aspect. Here are a few challenges which currently the engineering is working on it.

Solar energy. This is clean and green energy. Many places with long-hour sun exposure are suitable for installing solar panels. The challenge for Solar Energy includes a) energy storage; b) High solar panel cost.
Wind Power Energy. Wind blow is the resultant of airflow. Installing an air turbine to collect the energy from the airflow. We are facing a similar restriction as solar energy as we mentioned earlier. Furthermore, the setting up of wind turbine stands will affect the local airflow pattern.
Hydropower. This is the powerful energy derives from fast-moving or falling water. The China Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydropower station in the world. Unfortunately, the capacity of hydropower is far less for our needs. Dam fabricating and maintaining is a huge cost too!
Bioenergy. Bioenergy may not consider green energy however it turns the biomass into an energy source. It still classifies as a renewable energy source.
Nuclear Energy. Nuclear power is a huge energy source, it is a zero-emission and also sustainable energy source. The challenges come from nuclear power control and operation management control. Nuclear leaks and radiation incidents are still the main concern.

The Energy Prospect

The development of renewable energy is under on-going mode for 10 years or even more. Even though fossil fuel is still the main energy source for now but the contribution of renewable energy is increasing through-out the year.

In general, there are still many challenging for renewable energy especially the cost is still higher compared to the energy generated from fossil fuel. The challenges include:

Combine the new energy into the existing power grid.
Reduce the power transmission loss.
Improve the power storage capability and capacity.

There is no quick fix for renewable energy but we have to work in this direction. Not only we need the explore new energy sources but also fulfill the CO2 emission control.

We are the main biomass supplier in Malaysia and we will stay very positive in terms of renewable energy prospects.

Malaysia Energy Resources and Contribution

In today newspaper 1/April/2017, Malaysia TNB makes an announcement about the energy contribution in our country. Before we go into the energy contribution result, let me say something about my understanding about energy resources.

There are many type of energy resources in the world and I don’t deny fossil fuel is the most popular resources. We have been working on new energy resources since several years back, and we are seeing renewable energy is getting more acceptance by the market.

Renewable Energy

Many engineering has been working very hard to introduce more renewable energy in power generation, this include:

Solar Power.
Wind Power

No matter how we introduce new new renewable energy resources, there are always gap in between.

Why Fossil Fuel

Many countries have been using fossil fuel since many years back, there are a few reason why fossil fule is popular:

Has been introduced in the market for many years ago.
Huge reserve including non-harvest portion.
High heating capacity.
Lower price per unit energy (kJ).

Even though fossil fuel is popular however it bring the adverse effect for environment. Burningi fossil fuel cause more particulate or airborne particle discharge to the environment.

Fossil Fuel or Other New Energy Resources

China has been using extensive coal fuel especially at the northern part of the country during the winter time. The country has been experiencing high PMI2.5 count since then. Due to the significant increase of PMI 2.5 count, China government has no choice but to come out an administrative regulation to discard coal fuel for certain area. Similar regulation also been garzetted in Korea and Japan showing determination working against air pollution.

Now Malaysia also increase fossil fuel consumption proportion in the country. From latest report published in TNB, the Malaysia Energy Department, it shows coal fuel contribute 51% of energy produce whereby natural gas drop from 68% to 41%.

Malaysia is having many renewable energy resources in the country but from the data published, it shows the country has very low contribution from renewable energy. What is the reason why the country still strongly rely on fossil and natural gas. There are some power plant in Malaysia whi generate power from renewable energy, such as Maju Intan who generate energy from EFB.

I am not sure what is the rational behind Malaysia TNB has increase the consumption of fossil fuel, but I believe one thing for sure is that fossil fuel is cheaper in term of per unit energy (kJ). Malaysia still considering a beautiful country with low air pollution, but the scenario may change about Malaysia Air Pollution.

Let keep an eye on Malaysia PMI 2.5 data especially those area surrounding power plant burning fossil fuel.

About Activated Carbon

Activated carbon is a common substance used in water treatment. Home use water filtration system or industry use water treatment plant also consist of activated carbon.

Categories of Activated Carbon

There are many organic substances found in nature can be processed and converted to activated carbon. To your surprise, I have seen some activated carbon which made from durian shell. Of course, this is mainly for engineering developing purpose. In common, we know that there are 4 main type of activated carbon substance in Malaysia, namely

Coconut shell base
Palm shell base
Coal base
Peat base

Among these 4 categories, activated carbon made from coconut shell base and palm kernel shell base is highly demanded due to better quality. This is because both shells are given a better absorption rate as well as product hardness. Malaysia does manufacturing both activated carbon, and the products mostly for export purpose.

Coal-based activated carbon is the common categories found in Malaysia. Malaysia is not a country supplying coal, hence, most of the coal base activated carbon are imported from overseas, especially China.

Powder or Granular Form Activated Carbon

Many has come across the question whether what they want to use Granular or Powder form of activated carbon. Again, there is no absolute answer for this question, it is very much depend on the filtration purpose.

In general, granular activated carbon is the most popular and commonly seen in many applications. Especially the mesh size 8*30 is hot sell product. Many water treatment plant use this type of granular activated carbon.

The powder form is less wanted now in the market. This doesn’t mean powder activated carbon has no market. The function for powder form activated carbon has been replaced by the water treatment process. Chemical removal and biological removal methodology are showing remarkable improvement. Many impurities which originally removed by powder type activated carbon has been replaced by chemical and biological removal.

When to use Activated Carbon

The main purpose for activated carbon is to remove tiny impurity which unable to filter via mechanical filter methodology. The porous structure on activated carbon is given the nature for impurity absorption. The absorption capability is very much illustrated by the iodine value of the activated carbon.

Eventhough activated carbon has the best absorption value as compare to other substance, however, in a filtration system, we always apply the activated carbon cartridge at the last station in order for very tiny impurity removal. Those larger size impurity should be removed by filter cartridge and filter bag.

Growth of EFB Pellet Industry

DST has been involving in pellet manufacturing since several years ago. Especially while we started our business in EFB pellet, we have to spend substantial effort in introducing the EFB pellet to the biomass industry.

After so many years, we are seeing people aware of EFB pellet and know how to differentiate them from the wood pellet. Moreover, we are seeing lengthy following comments leave in our post, especially we are seeing so many traders, manufacturers, or even pellet machine manufacturers leave their contact here.

Now is the beginning of year 2017, I would like to put up the top 10 companies prioritize by Google and Baidu after we perform the search for keyword “ EFB Pellet”.

Companies Involve in EFB Pellet

From the Google search engine, the top 3 results are from Malaysia EFB Pellet Manufacturer, which includes DST which having the website www.biofuelresource.com. The other 5 companies are pellet machine manufacturers from China.

From the Baidu search engine, companies register in Alibaba are getting a good ranking. If we focus on a company with own website, 9/10 companies are pellet machine manufacturer from China. Biofuel Resource is the only pellet manufacturer from Malaysia that happens to appears from the Baidu search.

Both Google and Baidu search result has revealed that there are many China pellet machine manufacturers in the market. They are not only having good technology in producing quality pellet machines but also having good position in search engine.

EFB Pelleting Process

So many pellet machine manufacturers had to put their resources into studying how to manufacture quality EFB pellets. From their study, we believe they should be able to see the differences between wood pellet and EFB Pellet.

Empty fruit bunch (EFB) is the raw material of EFB pellet but it has much to involve if want to produce pellet. After so many years working with the EFB pellet manufacturer, the pellet machine manufacturer has better knowledge of the EFB pelleting process. With this knowledge, we are seeing significant improvement on the pelleting machine.

As compare to the pelleting machine several years ago, most of the current pelleting machine builds with the latest technology and improve on the certain deficiency. The EFB pellet produce from the latest pelleting machine should achieve better product quality.

Potential of EFB Pellet

Even though EFB pellet becomes more acceptable in biomass industry however there are still a huge marketing gap if compare with wood pellet. Entire biomass industry bias to wood pellet more than EFB pellet.

Even though Malaysia has substantial amount of shredded EFB, however only a small fraction is used to produce EFB pellet. Most of the shredded EFB is used for biomass in raw form.

Since we are seeing more advanced EFB pellet machines available in the market, hence we expect more people could participate in manufacturing EFB pellet In Malaysia or Indonesia. With everybody’s contribution, we believe EFB pellet could have better acceptance in the biomass market.

Bale form Palm Fibre

Palm fibre has many applications, one of the highly consumed sector is becoming the raw material for mattress. Palm fibre mainly used for biomass purpose now we have explored the market for household application.

How to Retrieve Palm Fibre

After the removing the oil palm fruit, it left over with the empty fruit bunch (EFB). The EFB comes in wet form which is the nature of the palm oil process. The EFB fibre will go through a shredded EFB process for further squeezing out the water and remaining oil content. The shredded EFB will send for drying and separating the the long fibre.

Only the Long Palm fibre is suitable for mattress application. Separating the long fibre and short fibre are very importance process as this going to affect the mattress quality.

Long Palm Fibre before Bale

The long fibre comes in loose form or in fluffy condition. It is very bulky and not effective in shipping process. Compress the long palm fibre into bale form is a mandatory process as this going to help more effective in shipping.

Every company has their own individual bale form dimension. Currently we are adopting the 1.2*0.6*0.8m. Base on our experience, the bale dimension is selected in order to maximize the storage ability in the container.

Once the bale arrived in user premise, the mattress user will unload the bale form long fibre and re-arrange the palm fibre to suit the mattress dimension.

Shipping of Bale form Palm Fibre

Since the palm fibre is mainly for export purpose, the bale form palm fibre is shipped in 40ft container. Every 40ft container will load with 40 bale palm fibre with the total weight 17MT. Loading and unloading the palm fibre in the container is a skill job. We have work from all aspect in order to maximize the loading capacity.

Apply palm fibre in mattress application has becomes a remarkable innovation, currently most of the bale of palm fibre is exported to China. DST is one of the exporter for palm fibre in Malaysia, we never stop our effort to persuade this commodity in other country besides China.

Feel free contact DST about our bale form palm fibre, and we are looking forward to work with you in this field.

Oil Palm Fibre Products and Biomass Commodities

Through-out our discussion with many readers, we come across several oil palm by products which causing ambiguity to some reader. Over here, we would like to differentiate below few commodities so that we could be clearer what the commodity we need.

By-product of Palm Oil Process

EFB. EFB stands for Empty Fruit Bunch. This refers to the raw bunch with no process. The EFB from the oil palm mill always comes in wet form. It also consists of small percent of oil which could be extracted further. The fibre in EFB is very long.
Shredded EFB. The wet form EFB will send for press and shredded process, the product named as shredded EFB. The shredded EFB still under wet form but the access water content has been squeezed out! The oil content also being squeezed during this process. After the shredded process, the core of the EFB will tear into shorter form, at this moment, the fibre extract from shredded EFB with the range 100-200mm length.
Long Fibre. Long fibre is the fibre extract from shredded EFB. The fibre is more coarse and long than other part of oil palm fibre. In most cases, the long fibre is always packed under bale form for export purpose.
Short Fibre. Short fibre is the residue fibre from palm fibre process. Manufacturer will screen out the long fibre and the short fibre is the left over from the process. Besides the length, short fibre is having very close characteristic as long fibre as they are going through similar process. Short fibre moisture maintains at the range 12-15%, it is the best condition and raw material process to EFB pellet.
Mesocarp fibre. This is the fibre extract from the oil palm fruit. The mesocarp fibre is short in nature however it is not same as short fibre as we explain in early section. Because the mesocarp fibre is the fibre direct extract from the oil palm fruit, the fibre is length is about 20mm or shorter. But the diameter is finer and much oily as compare to the short fibre retrieve from shredded EFB.

In Malaysia, there are many people trade the above commodities or oil palm by-product. DST is one of the companies involved in above commodities for more than 10 years. With above explanation about the terms, we hope that it will be better for everyone to communicate toward the same biomass commodity.

There are much more oil palms by product available besides the above commodities such as palm kernel, decanter cake, etc. However over this article we only discuss some related to fibre category. In future, we may talk more on other commodities.

EFB Pellet to Replace Wood Pellet?

EFB Pellet is not a new biomass product available in the market. It has been promote in the market to act as another alternative of biomass commodity. Unfortunately EFB pellet still not widely accept by most buyer.

In this article, we will review the basic differences for EFB pellet vs. wood pellet. Further more, we will share some of our expereince and thought why we think EFB pellet should gain high potential in renewable energy sector.

EFB Pellet or Wood Pellet?

DST has been in renewable energy sector for several years, we know the strength and potential of biomass commodity in available in Malaysia especially Malaysia government had launched 1MBAS project not long ago. The country is looking at biomass to generate 30million Ringgit in year 2020. Through our pass experience, we receive more inquiry about wood pellet instead of EFB pellet, why this happen?

Wood pellet has been in the biomass market for many years, especially Korea and Japan biomass sector has accepted wood pellet in their power plant. EFB pellet was initially invented acting as a substitution of wood pellet. Since we talk about substitution, we have compare both commodities from several aspects, such as pricing, specification, reliability and sustainability.

In order to turn EFB firbe into EFB pellet, the pellet manufacturer has to setup a pelletize process which mainly cover these steps:

De-humidified
Drying
Cutting into size or grinding
Pelletize

The process is pretty straight forward however involve substantial amount of energy. This has make the EFB pellet cost maintain at higher level as compare to wood pellet. Another draw back for EFB pellet is high ash content as compare to Wood Pellet.

Is EFB Facility Over Size?

We have involved in EFB pellet and other biomass commodity for more than 10 years, we are seeing the progress for this industry. From our perspective, many pellet manufacturers no matter in Malaysia or Indonasia are over optimistic about this commodity.

We learn through out the manufacturing process which we are very clear about the process challenge. Pelletize EFB fibre are totally difference than pelletize saw dust. We got to have the appropriate process setup in order to manufacture a quality product.

Over optimistic about the EFB pellet has cause many pellet manufacturers invested in the industry, but at the end find out insufficient customer order to maintain the operation. I feel sad while I am putting up this statement but this is the fact.

What is the Potential for EFB Pellet?

Pelletize EFB fibre is a matual technology and what we lack off is the marketing part. Many people still consider EFB pellet as a commodity for biomass. As EFB pellet manufacturer, we have to broaden our perspective or even strectch out our sense if we want to elevate the potential of EFB pellet.

Besides the manufacturer, Malaysia government should play an important role on promoting EFB Pellet in the world. Malaysia government has setup a department, NBS, National Biomass Strategy to chair the biomass activities. We really hope this department could bring our EFB pellet to worldwide.

If we always limited ourselves on replacing wood pellet with EFB pellet, I think this is a lose game for EFB pellet. EFB pellet should have wider and broader potential if we are able to adopt this commodity in other application.

EFB Pellet Business Environment

EFB pellet is a biomass product claiming for renewable energy. Many people was getting excited about this product and start investing in the field while they start aware this product. DST has been involved in biomass renewable energy for many years, and we definitely do not want to miss out the opportunity on EFB pellet sactor.

Establish a sustainable EFB pellet business is a difference story than just an investment. We have much more to consider and execute in order to make it a sustainable and profitable. Through pass years of operating our EFB pellet manufacturing, we are very sure the pellet should be one of the future as energy becomes scarcity. However, we do acknowledge there are still challenges along the way.

In this article, we are going to discuss several business challenges for starting up an EFB pellet business in Malaysia.

Challenges for EFB Pellet Business

All business is facing it own challenge along the road, this imply to EFB pellet business environment too! The business owner may miss out certain

Raw Material of EFB Pellet
Skill Worker Availability
Efficiency and Operating Cost
Export/Import Regulation and Tax

What other alternative user could choose besides EFB pellet

Natural Gas
Petroleum product
Other renewable commodity

Is EFB Pellet a Growing Business?

From our pass experience, we think EFB pellet should be a valuable product but it should not be limited in biomass or renewable sector only.

Empty fruit bunch or EFB is a by-product from palm oil industry, must of the fibre has been used as the prime material for fibre mattress, biomass or landscape. Field industry has never stop exploring other opportunity for EFB. Pelletize EFB is one of the strategy the field engineer applied.

Currently the EFB pellet has mostly used in biomass industry however there are a few more sectors who need pelletize EFB. However difference industry may have respective pelletize condition. At this moment, we are seeing some obstacle for EFB pellet business in biomass sectos. Since DST has participarte in pelleting business for many in Malaysia, we are having better opportunity to widen up our EFB pellet application and business.

Biofuel Resource is a Pellet Supplier from Malaysia

Is Malaysia Government provides a Positive EFB Pellet Business Environment?

Investing million Ringgit amout setup an EFB pellet plant could be a challenging decision if we are unable to get support from government. Investor could look for tax exemption from Malaysia government or MIDA.

Besides tax exemption, Malaysia government also established certain organization such as SP Biomass in promoting the EFB pellet to Euro country. There are also exhibition, symposium, conference being held through out the years. You could always find the first hand information regarding Malaysia biomass or EFB pellet via SP Biomass.

Like we explain earlier, we agree, many investor who participate in EFB pellet business in Malaysia is facing great challenge this year. Besides the support from Malaysia government, as an EFB pellet investor or SME, we are having our own responsibility to expand the EFB plellet from Biomass to other sectors. The industry will be always there and just how we are going to position ourselves for next regime.

If you are one of the EFB pellet manufacturer, you are welcome leave your EFB Pellet business challenges which currently you are facing in below comments column. We may have some dialogue or brainstorm to widen up the business opportunity.
