  1. Introduction to EU SWITCH-Asia Biomass Sustainable Production (SP) Project Dato’ Leong Kin Mun Technical Advisor, Biomass-SP European Union Association of Environmental Consultants and Companies of Malaysia European Biomass Industry Association Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology

  2. The Challenge

  3. The Opportunity “In addition, 19.3 million tonnes of EFB and 58 million tonnes of POME are produced and these have not yet been fully exploited” Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities “The country has a wealth of abundant resources to get there - the land mass, the biodiversity, the rainforests, water power, natural gas and biomass - and the commitment of its leadership” Volker U. Friedrich, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Malaysia-Europe Forum (MEF) “I applaud the recent call by PM Datuk Seri NajibRazak to move towards developing a green economy. This is a strategic play to the country’s sustained competitive advantage, particularly in palm oil and other agricultural-based industries.” Roger Wyse, Co-Chairman of the Malaysian Life Sciences Capital Fund

  4. Industrialized Nation’s Growing Interest in Renewable Resources • Multinational corporations Wal-Mart & P&G are demanding sustainable renewable sources of materials and chemicals • Europe are already making headway to develop green technologies utilizing biomass from non-food sources • Brazil have transformed their economies to be based on biomass from sugarcane

  5. National Response to Green Technology and Renewable Energy • New Economic Model • National Biotechnology Policy • National Green Technology Policy • National Innovation Model

  6. New Economic Model • To uptake leadership role in green technology and develop a niche in high value green industries and services • NEM’s vision of Malaysia becoming a “green hub” • Applying innovation and technology, including biotechnology, for the production of renewable high-value products and services, driving economic growth. • Introduce the concept of ‘Green GDP’ • Consider the impact of growth on the environment and the appropriate design of measures to address environmental concerns.

  7. National Biotechnology Policy • Provide required incentives for R&D and business ventures alike. E.g. Bionexus Status • An exemption from tax on 100% statutory income and dividends distributed by Bionexus companies • An exemption from import duty and sales tax on raw materials/components and machinery and equipment • Transform and enhance the value creation of the agricultural sector through biotechnology • Nurture and support growth opportunities in the application of advanced bio-processing and bio-manufacturing technologies

  8. National Green Technology Policy • Green technology to be the new driver for economic growth • The setting up of a legislative and regulatory framework – development of green technologies and promotion of resource use optimization • Among the objectives: • Decreasing energy consumption • Facilitating growth of green technology • Enhance Malaysia’s green technology global competitiveness

  9. National Innovation Model • To shift from a resource-led economy to an innovation-led economy, driven largely by domestic private enterprise and activity in Malaysia • The private sector to actively lead in identifying market opportunities, and taking innovative products and services to markets • Government to facilitate this effort by mitigating market risks. • Providing incentives for technology acquisition • Rewards entrepreneurship, risk capital providers and risk managers

  10. Issues Related to Growth of Biomass Industry in Malaysia • The most developed technologies for biomass conversion into green products come from outside of Asia • Official policy or governmental guidelines on biomass do not exist to support investments to develop and commercialize biomass-derived products • Institutional and market capabilities to provide a stable long term access to biomass • Competition of biomass usage among different biomass stakeholders

  11. Biomass-SP • Funded by: EU SWITCH-Asia Programme • Project Partners: Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT), European Biomass Industry Association (EUBIA), Associations of Environment Consultants and Companies (AECCOM), Danish Technological Institute (DTI) • Supported by: Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA)

  12. Environmental Uniqueness of Biomass • Biomass takes carbon out of the atmosphere while it is growing, and return it as it is burned. • If it is managed on sustainable basis – they can be harvested as a part of constantly replenished crop. • The new growth takes up CO2 from the atmosphere while at the same time it is released during combustion - it is carbon neutral

  13. Biomass Industry in Malaysia • 168 million tonnes of biomass (timber waste, oil palm waste, rice husk, coconut trunk fibers, municipal waste, sugar cane waste, etc.) • Great potentials to be used in: • Manufacturing of value-added eco-products (bio-plastics, bio-composites, bio-fertilizers, bio-pellets, green building materials, furniture products etc) • Generation of renewable energy. • Add value to the CDM activities in Malaysia and contributes to global climate change mitigation effort.

  15. Principles of SCP • Involves concerted effort of business, government, communities and household in enhancing environmental quality through: • Efficient production and use of natural resources • Waste minimization and recycling • Design of environmentally-friendly products and services • Sustainable production emphasizes improving environmental performance in the supply sector. • Sustainable consumption addresses the consumer’s demands of goods and services.

  16. Project Motivation

  17. Project Objectives • To develop Malaysian family-owned SMEs to implement SP models in the biomass industry – economic growth, social well-being and address the issues of industrial pollution • To improve biomass supply chain in Malaysia by promoting collaboration between EU-Malaysia biomass industry, research institutions and universities • To reduce industrial emissions by improving production process of biomass commercialization projects and contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts • To create the enabling environment for improving policy cohesiveness

  18. Target Stakeholders • SMEs biomass supply chain i.e. • Wood and fibre-based products manufacturing, • Eco-products manufacturing, • Solid waste management and solutions/service providers, • Renewable energy entrepreneurs • Traders/suppliers for biomass • Technology licensors/licensees for biomass • Environmental engineers • Commercialization entrepreneurs • Government agencies, research institutions and universities & financial institutions • Environmental business intermediaries

  19. Project Activities

  20. Multi-Stakeholders Forum • Organize multi-stakeholders (government, industry, academia, NGOs, chamber of commerce) consultative dialogue/forum • To identify relevant stakeholders involved in biomass industry in Malaysia • To identify issues, concerns, and interests associated with biomass utilization projects in Malaysia • To identify the best way forward for the growth of biomass industry in Malaysia • Overall outcome: To produce policy recommendations to government (e.g. NEM, RMK10) based on consultation with Malaysian stakeholders

  21. Awareness Road show Seminar • To conduct outreach programmes in Kuala Lumpur, Perak, Pahang, Johor, Kedah, Sabah & Sarawak. • Targeted participants: 500 SMEs involved in the biomass supply chain • To identify 50 Malaysian SMEs for the business coaching programme

  22. Capacity Building Programme • For EU & Malaysia experts to transfer their knowledge as well as facilitation of market access opportunities on: • Biomass Technology for SMEs • Concepts, Trends, Perspectives in Environmental Performance • Biomass & CDM • Financing & Funding Opportunities • Optimizing & Benchmarking the Economic Value of Biomass • Success Stories of Biomass Conversion/SCP Projects • Policy Intervention via Economic Instruments for Developing Local Biomass Industries • EU Market Access Opportunities for Biomass Products • EU Standard and Technical Specification for Biomass Products
