 Kuala Lumpur (IINA) – Malaysia is expected to be Asia's biggest biogas exporter by 2020 and Asia's biggest biogas hub by 2030, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Dr Ewon Ebin.
He said Malaysia had the potential to utilize biogas resources to be at the epicenter of global bio-industrial ecosystem.
In statement to BERNAMA news agency, Dr Ewon said: "Currently, we have about five million hectares of land under oil palm, so by 2020, we will be able to increase revenue to about RM20 billion.
"The aim is to show the viability in upgrading biogas from palm oil mill effluent (POME) to bio-methane, which can be used to fuel cars or other industrial applications," he said at the fourth Biogas Asia Pacific Forum 2015 here on Tuesday.
With the adoption of biotechnology in the biogas industry, production would significantly increase and the industry is expected to grow to RM 8.3 billion by 2022 from RM 1.46 billion in 2015, he added.
