ABSTRACT
Malaysia’s rapid economy progression has brought an increasing demand for energy, with the electricity demand in industrial sector the highest in Peninsular Malaysia. The mechanized plant was further upgraded in the late 2000s with the introduction of anaerobic digesters as pilot plants to tap the unexploited potential of energy from sewage sludge. Palm oil milling is basically the processing of oil palm fresh fruit bunches into crude palm oil and palm kernel. The Feed-in Tariff (FiT) is Malaysia’s new mechanism under the renewable energy Policy and Action Plan to stimulate the generation of renewable energy, which is up to 30 MW. The main objective of FiT system is to increase the renewable energy contributions in the national energy mix, thereby facilitating the renewable energy industry growth by ensuring reasonable renewable energy generation costs so that the environment is conserved for the future generation.
