Waste Management & Waste to Energy Asia Summit Malaysia Focus 2025

1.Waste to Energy & Biomass Project Update in Malaysia

In May 6 of 2024, Malaysia government has identified 18 possible sites for proposed waste-to-energy (WTE) plants that will serve the needs of every state in Peninsula Malaysia.

The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) Minister Mr.Nga Kor Ming announced that the sites are: Jabi and Padang Cina in Kedah; Bukit Payung, Seelong and Sedili (Johor); Jabor-Jerangau and Belenggu (Pahang); Sungai Udang (Melaka); Rawang (Kuala Lumpur); Jeram, Tanjung Dua Belas and Rawang Dua (Selangor); Pulau Burung (Penang); Lahat, Taiping and Manjung (Perak); Tertak Batu (Terengganu); and Jedok (Kelantan).

Its minister said the development of the plants, which is the country's new direction in managing solid waste disposal, will use the latest and advanced technology that has been proven successful in several European countries besides China and Japan.

Dec 27, 2023 — insights from various stakeholders to formulate the National Biomass Action Plan 2023-2030 , it aims to maximize the utilization of biomass resources in Malaysia to achieve sustainable development and meet net-zero emission targets. The plan focuses on sectors like plantations, agriculture, forestry, livestock, and fisheries, which collectively generate an estimated 202 million tonnes of biomass annually. Key initiatives include biofertilizer blending, biomass-to-fuel pellets, and reducing imported animal feed. The plan also aims to catalyze economic expansion, support sustainable development, and boost industry exports.

Malaysia Biomass Market size was valued at USD 81.5 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 159.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.17% from 2026 to 2033.

The Malaysia biomass market plays a crucial role in the country's renewable energy landscape. As one of Southeast Asia's leading economies, Malaysia has made substantial strides in adopting sustainable energy solutions. Biomass, derived from organic materials like palm oil waste, agricultural residues, and wood products, is increasingly seen as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The global push toward reducing carbon emissions and promoting green energy further highlights the importance of biomass in Malaysia. This industry not only supports environmental goals but also drives economic growth by creating new job opportunities in rural and agricultural areas. Biomass energy is seen as a critical component in Malaysia’s long-term strategy to achieve its climate goals while ensuring energy security. The significance of this market extends beyond domestic consumption, as Malaysia is also exploring biomass export opportunities, contributing to the global energy transition.
