Despite the country’s potential to generate RE, progress has been painfully slow in transitioning to a more efficient and sustainable energy mix due to several reasons.
The use of these resources can help to reduce waste and promote sustainable waste management practices in the country benefitting particularly our palm oil industry directly. This is depending on factors such as supply and demand, geopolitical events, and environmental regulations. These certificates serve as proof of RE generation and can be bought and sold by companies looking to meet their RE targets.
More importantly, the biogas and biomass sector has the potential to create a significant number of jobs, particularly in rural areas where these resources are plentiful.Currently, the country is heavily reliant on natural gas and coal for its energy needs.The use of RE sources, particularly biogas and biomass, would reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and make it less vulnerable to price fluctuations in the global energy market.
