Abstract

Malaysia's manufacturing and transportation sectors are largely reliant on fossil fuels. In 2009, fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, diesel oil, and palm oil were used to produce 94.5 percent of electricity. Concerns about energy security, crude oil price volatility, and climate change are all driving major changes in how energy, specifically electricity, is produced, distributed, and consumed. In this regard, renewable energy resources are becoming more appealing in Malaysia for long-term energy growth. There is because Malaysia has an abundance of renewable energy sources, the most important of which are biomass and solar. This article presents the potential use of pineapple wastes as one of renewable sources of energy (biomass) in Malaysia and their impacts towards environment.
