Or not in use at all !!!

Mulching causes following problems:

1. High cost of logistic during mulching activities

2. Encourage breeding of pests such as beetle, insects and flies.

3. Open air and natural decomposition produces methane, which is 20 times more harmful than CO2

Market condition:

Asia : Expanding Pellet Market in China

• Is the 2nd largest consumer of energy in the World after US

• In line with China - 12th Five Year Plan for National Strategic

Emerging Industries, China announced its intention to reduce the

intensity of CO2 emissions within the Chinese economy by 40-45% by

2020 compare to 2005.*

• By 2020, the capacity of installed biomass power will be abound to 30

GW, with the annual use of 50 million tons of biomass pellets.*

Asia : Japan and Korea Strive to Grow Biomass Energy

• In the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan is eyeing all renewables to dilute its heavy reliance on nuclear power.*

• By 2020, Japan targets its power generation from renewable sources to increase by 50 percent, and Biomass power is expected to see a fivefold increase over the same period.**/***

• Under a compulsory quota introduced in 2012, South Korea’s power generators must now deliver 2 percent of their energy from renewables. With each year this renewable portfolio standard (RPS) will now ratchet up, reaching 10 percent in 2022****

• The government has set a goal of importing 5 million tonnes of pellets by 2020. By then, 75-80 percent of pellets consumed in the country are expected to be imported. ****

China’s Import of Coconut Fibre(in Thousand Tonnes)

- The surge in demand for coconut fibre was attributed to an expansion in applications utilising coconut fibre

- Palm oil EFB fibre is fast emerging as a viable substitute for coconut fibre in particular as a raw material for mattress and geotextile production.

Investing in

Biomass Industry

How to maximize the biomass value?Why biomass resources is selected?What are the proven technology available?When will the raw material supply deplete? Where is the best location for manufacturing site?Who has the most competitive advantage this investment?

Factors in Biomass Investment

Raw Material - crop selection

& achieving sustainability

Logistic & Handling

- Mobilization cost

Product - Quality and

quantity

Conversion - Technology

selected - Scale of operation

Market - availability,

affordability & demand
