The first edition of the National Biomass Strategy (NBS) 2020 was published in November 2011 after extensive collaboration between the Malaysian Government and private sector companies as well as domestic and international research institutes and academia to assess how Malaysia can develop new industries and high-value opportunities by utilizing agricultural biomass for high value products, starting with oil palm biomass. An explicit goal of the study was to determine how Malaysia can develop new biomass sectors with the aim of creating higher value-added economic activities that contribute towards Malaysia's gross nationalincome (GNI) and creating high value jobs for the benefit of Malaysians.We would like to acknowledge and thank the contributions and support of all collaborating government agencies, academic and research institutions and private sector partners in making the National Biomass Strategy 2020 a reality.
