Empty fruit bunches which were a natural waste product from oil palm plantations could generate the much needed electricity.
“I am not talking about future technology but what is being used right now by TSH in Kunak at their bio-integrated complex where they produce a whopping 14 megawatts of electricity using empty fruit bunches,”
“If TSH can do this, why can’t other palm oil mills? Sabah has 1.4 million hectares of oil palm and hundreds of palm oil mills and most of these are on the east coast,”
“This concept is in line with the Malaysian Green Technology Policy which was launched by the Prime Minister in July,”
The palm oil industry had already taken plenty of resources from the state and now they not only had the opportunity to give back to the people but it would also benefit them.
“The bottom line is Sabah has alternatives to having a coal-fired power plant and the technology is available.
Now what we seem to have is a lack of will from certain 
parties who say that there is no alternative but this is not true. We have alternatives.
Imagine what a great model for the world Sabah will be with this!”
