KOTA KINABALU: Sabah could become Malaysia’s centre of oil palm biomass development under the National Biomass Strategy, said chief executive officer of POIC Sabah Sdn Bhd, Datuk Dr Pang Teck Wai.

He said the projection was based on the availability of oil palm biomass comprising empty fruit bunches, palm fronds, trunks, palm kernel shells and mesocarp fibres from the 1.4 million hectares of oil palm plantations under development in the state.

  2. sumber tenaga dari biomas berpotensi diterokai bagi membantu menangani kekurangan bekalan elektrik, khususnya di Sabah.. oleh itu eloklah jika ada usaha untuk membangunkan sumber tenaga berasaskan biomas ini selain memfokuskan kepada manfaat2 lain..
