Gathering for Discussions on Biogas, Biomass, and Bioenergy in Malaysia 2025

Malaysia is gearing up for the 9th Biogas Biomass & Bioenergy Forum, scheduled to take place in Kuala Lumpur from September 24th to 26th, 2025. This event aims to bring together industry leaders, specialists, and stakeholders to discuss and drive the growth of biogas power generation and other renewable energy solutions.

The forum's agenda includes key topics such as Investment in Biogas Power Plants, Bio-CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) development, Desulfurisation technologies, and strengthening Biomass Supply Chain Resilience. These discussions are crucial for Malaysia's ambitious renewable energy targets, which include a scale-up of renewable energy capacity and an investment of US$136 billion in green technology by 2050.

Malaysia's focus on biomass and biogas power generation is evident in recent developments. For instance, the approval of a 1.5 MW biogas plant in Bachok, Kelantan, by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA), and the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) framework that encourages investment and development in biogas projects.

Bio-CNG, a key emerging topic in bioenergy forums, is also on the agenda. This renewable gas fuel, while not detailed in the latest search results, is a promising area for diversifying renewable energy beyond biogas electricity generation.

Desulfurisation, a critical aspect for upgrading biogas and biomass-derived fuels, will also be discussed. This technology is essential for enhancing environmental compliance and fuel quality, making it a central topic in bioenergy technology discussions.

Building a robust biomass supply chain is another important aspect of the forum. A resilient supply chain ensures the sustainability of biomass and biogas projects, addressing logistical, sourcing, and economic challenges to maintain a reliable feedstock supply.

The forum will also delve into biomass trading trends, energy policies, and implementation challenges in Malaysia. As of last year, 170 out of 446 palm oil mills in Malaysia have installed biogas facilities, exceeding the NAPC 2025 target of 155 mills. On 17th October 2024, SEDA allocated a 190MW feed-in tariff quota for 2025, with specific allocations for biogas and biomass projects.

Bioenergy is identified as a key enabler for energy transition in Malaysia. The forum serves as a platform for stakeholders—including investors, technology providers, and policymakers—to collaborate on accelerating biogas and biomass energy deployment, improving technological solutions, expanding Bio-CNG options, and ensuring resilient biomass supply chains in Malaysia’s green energy transition.

The forum is expected to cover a wide range of topics, including Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Treatment, Combined Heat and Power Engines (CHP), Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB), and more. The installation of biogas facilities has already contributed to a reduction of 4.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, highlighting the potential impact of these discussions.
