Oil Palm Biomass Supply Issues in Sabah
Needs:
Need to move biomass from
sources to end users.
Biorefinery industry requires
long term, secured, supply of
large amount of biomass
feedstock at competitive cost.
10
Challenges:
Plantation based biomass too costly
to transport (high moisture content
and bulky)
Biomass per mill not sufficient for
large scale mobilization (each mill
generates 20,000 dry MT Biomass)
Mills in one area belong to different
owners
