National Straw Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance is based on the Ministry of Science and other six departments, "on the promotion of industrial technology innovation strategic alliance to build the guidance" (National Science and Technology [2008] 770), "national technological innovation project overall implementation plan" (country (2009) No. 269), as well as the "National Science and Technology Program to support the industrial technology innovation strategic alliance Interim Provisions" (State Department issued [2008] No. 338) and other documents, by the National Industrial Technology Innovation Strategy (Cultivation) Union Approved the establishment of the "National Straw Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance" (national word [2015] 064) (referred to as "straw"), by the straw holding (Group) Co., Ltd. ("straw") as chairman of the unit, Straw Holdings Co., Ltd. Peng Fei served as chairman of the Union.

Human beings are facing the greenhouse effect, environmental degradation, the lack of oil and chemical raw materials, and promote the application of biomass (Biomass) to become an important research topic. Dato 'Leong Kin Mun, who is well aware of the global trend in biomass development, hopes that more Malaysians will be able to understand and participate in the development of the biomass sector through the Malaysian Biomass Industries Confederation. We are here to learn about the expectations of Dato 'Liang Jianwen on the field of biomass in Malaysia.

Biomass (Biomass), by definition, refers to the overall quality of the various organisms, that is, solar energy through the form of chemical energy stored in the form of chemical energy stored in an energy form, which contains a wide range of substances, such as crops, herbs or Woody plants, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and other waste resources.

As Malaysia is a major producer of palm oil, the head of the Malaysian Biomass Industries Confederation, Dato 'Liang Jianwen, said that every year there are a lot of oil palm plant waste in China. Biomass, it is very pity, and not environmentally friendly, because the incineration or discarded, the environment will have a negative impact.

He said that Malaysian entrepreneurs should take this rare opportunity to enter the biomass sector as a country with many natural renewable resources, according to the information gathered by the federation, which shows that the demand for biomass in Malaysia is growing significantly.

In any case, he said that Malaysia is currently facing the lack of biomass supply situation. This is mainly because the government and large domestic enterprises lack the focus on these renewable energy, thus limiting the development of biomass.

"After the establishment of the Malaysian Biomass Industry Association, I and other directors held a lecture or briefing throughout the country to make the Malaysian entrepreneurs better understand the prospects for the biomass industry," he said. Encourage them to actively participate in this industry.

He believes that those who are most suitable for the industry are those who have oil palm hills and palm oil presses because they already have ready-made biomass waste, so that people enter the biomass field and succeed The odds will be high, because even if they are not engaged in the biomass industry, they must face the trouble of dealing with biomass waste.

In fact, biomass is an important renewable resources, and wind energy, solar energy, geothermal, etc. have the same inexhaustible characteristics. Moreover, the use of materials for the waste, crop growth can also absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas accumulation. Oil palm is the same, it will produce biomass waste every year, so Malaysia should make good use of such resources.

"The current state of biomass utilization in Malaysia is second in the region, second only to Indonesia," said Datuk Jun Kin-wen, who was the chairman of the EU-Asia Biomass Best Practices and Business Partner Conference. However, the prevalence of biomass in Malaysian companies is still relatively low. He pointed out that biomass in addition to fuel, in fact, can also be made into a variety of industrial supplies, including biomass fertilizer, biomass carbon, biomass composite materials and other construction and industrial materials.

The value of biomass products is very high

Dato 'Liang Jianwen said that the biomass industry is already very common in foreign countries, but the development in Malaysia is still in the infant stage. He hoped that through the organization of the Federation, bringing together more domestic small and medium enterprises to promote more development of the biomass industry program.

Liang Jianwen has served as technical advisor to the Biomass-SP (Sustainable Biomass-SP) project in the European Union. He said that many of the crop waste, such as palm oil waste, including palm oil residue, palm tree tree trunk, branches, etc., as well as chaff and solid waste, all can be used as renewable energy.

He said that biomass, in addition to fuel, can be made into a variety of industrial products, including biomass fertilizers, biomass carbon, biomass composites and other construction and industrial materials, and the use of garbage or Waste power generation.

According to the data, Malaysia produces 100 million tons of biomass per year, although these biomass are used to recycle, mostly used to make fertilizer, but this is not the best value, it can be used in higher value The use of.

He pointed out that the value of biomass products is very high, such as biomass composite materials, a metric ton can sell 1000 to 2,000 ringgit.

Second, the production of environmentally friendly products, such as bio-plastic, packaging products and fiber, etc .; third: agricultural products, that is, animal Feed and organic fertilizer; fourth: biomass chemicals, which is extracted from the palm oil out of the chemical substances can be used to make vinegar, industrial sugar and so on.

Biomass supply and financing are challenges on the road to development

Whether it is in that area, will encounter difficulties and challenges, then, the field of biomass difficulties and challenges, what is it? "There are two major challenges in biomass supply and financing in the use of biomass power generation," he said. "The road to development is rugged."

He said that although Malaysia is actively promoting green technology, but if there are companies to develop biomass power plants, the primary solution is the issue of biomass supply.

He said that although there are many oil palm growers in Malanese, it is necessary to have a large number of long-term adequate supply if you want to use the residue of oil palm fruit. Production of one megawatt of electricity requires 100,000 tons of biomass.

In addition, most of the small and medium-sized oil palm growers are reluctant to sign contracts with companies for 20 to 30 years. He added that large oil palm traders are also reluctant to sell oil palm fruit residues to businesses for power generation purposes, so to supply biomass power, supply is one of the problems.

On the other hand, he said that although the Government provided a green technology financing loan scheme, the highest loan was only RM50 million, as 100 trillion kilowatts would be required for the establishment of a 10 MW power plant. In addition, if there is no long-term stability of the biomass supply contract proved, it is difficult to obtain bank financing loans.
