Sarawak to launch microalgae production facility in February 2023
In Malaysia, Borneo Post Online reported that Sarawak’s premier Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said that a microalgae production facility is expected to be launched by February next year.
He noted the five-hectare algae production facility will mark the state government’s commitment to achieve greener and cleaner coal power generation.
“I am proud of the collaboration and progress of the industrial scale microalgae production facility. This facility will absorb CO2 waste stream from the Sejingkat Coal Power Station to grow algae in a carbon circular economy,” he added.
“Advancements in research and modern technologies are now able to rapidly grow algae and extract its oil to be converted into biofuels for energy, while taking advantage of the other components in algae such as proteins, carbohydrates, and nutrients,” the premier added.
