MBIC Profile
MBIC is a non-profit organisation served to develop the biomass industries in Malaysia through strategic partnership with biomass SMEs and major feedstock owners as well as research institutes and international bodies.
Biomass Development in Malaysia
The biomass industry represents several different industries brought together by the utilization of renewable organic matters including oil palm waste, timber waste, rice husk, coconut trunk fibers, municipal solid waste, sugar cane waste, etc.
These organic materials have the potential to be used in the generation of renewable energy i.e. conversion of biomass feedstock into solid biofuel (pellets, briquettes), biomass power plant projects (co-firing, methane capture), liquid biofuel such as diesel and ethanol and the manufacturing of value-added eco-products e.g. pulp and paper, biocomposite, and bioplastics as sustainable substitution for fossil-based materials as well as the development of valuable green chemical precursors such as sugar alcohols, ethanol, and lactic acid.
Driving Sustainability in the Biomass Industry
Realising the synergy that could be derived from various biomass available from Malaysia, MBIC is formed as a non-profit organisation to develop the biomass industries in Malaysia through strategic partnership among biomass SMEs, major feedstock owners, research institutes, and other local and international biomass stakeholders.
In the long term, MBIC aims to be the strategic platform where various biomass sectors are able to synergize their needs and interests for the development of biomass industry as a whole. MBIC will also act as a platform to commercialise, market and utilise the applications of high value biomass products, whilst promoting the principle of sustainable consumption and production, and to maintain a conducive ecosystem for the sustainable growth of biomass industry.
Through MBIC, relationship will be fostered through dialogue sessions with government agencies, research institutions, civil societies, as well as local and international bodies, to create and foster awareness of what the biomass industry’s contribution towards climate change mitigation efforts.
Leveraging on the wide spectrum of expertise, strength and network of MBIC members, MBIC aspires to lead Malaysia to be recognised as the biomass hub internationally.
