Abstract

This chapter address some key opportunities and challenges for the bioeconomy development in Malaysia with an emphasis on biomass utilization, energy and industry applications. A few related areas have been reported and the discussion includes various resources including issues in supply chain pertaining to biomass sustainability and availability. Some examples of the food and food related ingredients project outcomes (rubber industry, banana, palm oil industry) were exhibited and their significance in Malaysian bioeconomy is proposed. Case studies and examples are provided to illustrate both driving forces and constraints (past, present and future) of bioeconomy development in Malaysia. A few bioeconomy projects in Malaysia which directly or indirectly contribute to international policy related to climate change, food technology and technology transfer are reported. An overview of the selected research project that was conducted by Universiti Sains Malaysia’s researchers in relation to biomass resource development and minimization of the environmental impacts was depicted through an integrated research flow diagram.
