Malaysia plans to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2027, leveraging its natural resources to grow its bioenergy sector. However, limited availability of used cooking oil (UCO) raises concerns about meeting biofuel supply demands.

Indonesia has reached an innovative milestone in bioenergy development, officially confirming that B40 biodiesel, a blend of 40% palm oil and 60% regular diesel, will be introduced starting next year.

Indonesia's state-owned oil company, Pertamina, is launching a pilot project for sorghum cultivation to be used as a bioethanol feedstock, thereby reducing reliance on imported wheat and other grains.

Environmentalists warn the plan to increase palm oil content in biodiesel will mean more deforestation, despite its association with renewables.

Compared to wind and solar, bioenergy receives relatively little attention but is the largest renewable energy source globally, serving as fuel, heat, electricity, and even integrating with carbon capture technologies. Here’s a foundational look at bioene

A significant milestone has been achieved in the development of marine low-carbon fuels. On August 5, French energy giant TotalEnergies successfully introduced its first batch of 100% biofuel (B100) at the port of Singapore.

Malakoff has recently launched its biomass co-firing project at its 2,100 MW coal-fired Tanjung Bin Power Plant (TBPP) in Pontian, Johor. It aims to co-fire up to 15% biomass with coal by 2027.

Researchers from Malaysia and Japan test process converting felled palm trees into renewable biomass energy.

PLN Indonesia Power reduced 555 thousand tons of CO2 emissions last year by substituting coal with biomass cofiring in coal-powered power plants (PLTU).

Compared to wind and solar renewable energy, the production of biomass energy is more closely related to human activities. The Indonesian National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) utilizes wastewater from soybean-based tofu productions to produce bio
