Raymond Tan, minister of industrial development, says POIC was granted financial assistance from the state government.
“The government is convinced that with the right technology, biomass such as empty fruit bunches can be used as one of the fuel sources to generate electricity for both industrial and domestic use,” Tan says.
He points out that the initiative will not coerce people to sell biomass to POIC, neither will it stop anyone else from buying the organic wastes.
