棕榈油可以被认为是马来西亚区域发展和经济增长的支柱。它是当地工业和出口产品的重要原材料。最近，棕榈油被认为是生产生物燃料的有前途的原料，可以带领马来西亚走向低碳社会。随着人们对能源需求增加和全球变暖的日益关注，将棕榈生物质转化为沼气发电被认为是应对上述问题的可行选择。然而，各种限制因素阻碍了生物燃料的生产。因此，本文概述了现有的可再生能源（RE）政策及其目前的计划状况，并确定马来西亚棕榈油厂污水（POME）和沼气行业所面临的挑战，以便提出进一步改进该计划的适当措施。
Palm oil can be considered as a mainstay in the regional development and economic growth of Malaysia. It is an important raw material for local industries and as an export product. Most recently, palm oil has been referred to as a promising feedstock for the production of biofuel which could lead Malaysia towards a low carbon society. With the growing concern towards the increase of energy demand and global warming, the conversion of palm biomass to biogas for power generation has then been recognized as a feasible option in response to the mentioned problems. Nevertheless, various constraints have come in the way to slow down the biofuel production. Therefore, this paper presents an overview on the existing renewable energy (RE) policy and its current programme status, as well as to identify the challenges facing the Malaysian palm oil mill effluent (POME) and biogas industry in order to propose appropriate measures for further improvement of the programme.
