THE government is studying the possibility of adopting a policy on green energy management, particularly the use of biomass waste for power generation in the country. Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities Tan Sri Bernard Dompok said the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), has commissioned a study on the matter, with special focus on the maximum utilisation of this waste as well as the highest efficiency. “I expect the study to be completed in two months. This will enable us to adopt a clear policy and direction, as far as green energy is concerned,” he said after launching the Palm Oil Industry Labour Issues, Performance and Sustainability Workshop in Sabah, yesterday. Dompok said there is a need for a proper policy to ensure, among others, the steady supply of biomass for power generation, including by Independent Power Producers.
