PUTRAJAYA: The biomass obtained from agricultural practices is currently discarded as farm waste. But if such biomass is converted and utilised as an energy source, by 2030, the nation will have saved RM7b.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said this while speaking to reporters after officiating the 2023 National Biomass Conference here recently.

Fadillah, who is also the Plantation and Commodities Minister, said the use of biomass pellets produced from recycled organic waste can reduce dependence on imported coal.
