Methane Biogas Production in Malaysia: Challenge and Future Plan

Biomethane is a sustainable energy that produced from an organic and renewable resource. As the second-largest oil palm producer in world, mill effluent (POME) primary source of biomethane generation Malaysia. POME by-product extraction extensively employed as feedstock for production biomethane. Malaysia has equatorial environment with humid hot weather; this climate conducive to cultivation numerous agricultural crops. A considerable number wastes residues are by crops, however, only 27% them used fuel or create useable products. Several publications have been published on POME; nevertheless, additional research required use other bioresources technologies In addition, there lack comprehensive information future development Malaysia; thus, fill gap, review paper focuses challenges Malaysia, which puts emphasis also includes alternative options can be To best our knowledge, first provide overview biogas trend terms current development, well detailed leading companies currently active industry.
