Malaysia's commodities minister, Johari Abdul Ghani, has urged palm oil producers to back a biofuel initiative that converts palm oil waste into clean energy. This technology, developed by Wilhelmina Malaysia Energy Sdn Bhd, transforms empty fruit bunches from oil palm plantations into 'TG2 black pellets,' a clean coal alternative. The initiative has attracted interest from Japan, which is considering procurement. Johari encouraged industry players to dedicate 10% to 20% of their EFB production to increase TG2 black pellet output, aiming to establish Malaysia as a global exporter. The facility has the capacity to produce 80,000 tonnes of TG2 black pellets annually.
