“…Evaluation on the transportation decision tool regarding biomass supply chain is conducted involving biomass allocation planning, processing station selection and vehicle capacity constraint. Tan et al designed the spatial and economic aspect for oil palm biomass as energy production in the objective to minimize issues regarding transboundary haze [42,43]. Mohd Shaharin et al suggested on ways to strengthen palm oil biomass industry for the case of Malaysia [43,44]…”

“…Another study on the hybrid system for Tioman Island conducted by Basir Khan et al resulting in the most optimal system involving PV-hydrodiesel configuration in standalone mode that was simulated in Homer software. This configuration gives the lowest NPC of $ 31, 901, 944 [42]. Ho et al evaluated the scenario of biomass and solar town for a smart eco-village, Iskandar Malaysia (IM) and proposed that the most optimal configuration to meet the load demand comprises of 412 kW biogas thermal power station, a direct-fired biomass of capacity 417 kW, 136 kW photovoltaic modules and 3046 kWh sodium sulfur battery [43].…”

The utilization of conventional sources of energy releases harmful pollutants to the environment causing global warming and acid rain. For that reason, it becomes necessary to use a non-depletable, sustainable and eco-friendly renewable energy as a mean of producing electricity. Malaysia is tropical country rich in resources beneficial in electricity generation as it is in equatorial region therefore it has an abundance of solar irradiance of average annually. In addition, Malaysia’s demand in electricity is increasing to 124,677 GWh by 2020. Therefore, the electricity generation from renewable sources in Malaysia is anticipated to grow in the future alongside the government endorsement due to its clean, eco-friendly and free source of energy which can highly reduce the dependency on oil and gas that emits harmful pollutants to the environment. This paper gives a comprehensive review on the renewable projects and researches in Malaysia, challenges that affect popularity of renewable energy in Malaysia and available and successful renewable energy system in Malaysia.

“…In addition, Garcia-Ulloa et al (2012) conducted a simulation scenario model for reducing environmental impacts through a spatial database, resulting in a lower impact in the environment but depending on the planning of the economic dimension. Tan et al (2018) also developed spatial planning for sustainable palm oil biomass to generate production's cost-effectiveness and reduce cross-border haze. Furthermore, modeling oil palm plantations geographically will fundamentally help to obtain access to qualified information (Harahap et al, 2019;Nooni et al, 2014) in advanced modeling and mathematical analysis (Al-Shabeeb, 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to construct models to classify independent smallholder farmers’ (ISFs) plantation suitability and its competitiveness index. It proposes the models with the objective to accommodate ISFs as the main source of raw material for the palm oil industry. It was predicted that the supply of oil palm fresh fruit bunch would depend on ISFs’ plantations due to the government policy that restricts the expansion of the plantations. Design/methodology/approach The study was designed using a geographic information system approach and analytical hierarchy process for mapping the suitability of smallholder farmers’ oil palm plantation in the Kampar Regency. The competitiveness index was measured using a modified Diamond Porter framework and competitiveness index quantification. The model was conducted on 177 respondents from five districts in Kampar Regency. Findings The results indicated that it mapped 128,936.759 hectares area of ISFs’ oil palm plantation in the Kampar Regency. The results of plantation suitability showed that only 13.88% of plantations owned by ISFs were potential, 71.21% of them were in the developing category and 14.91% of plantations were non-potential. The competitiveness index showed there were only 7.91% of them at the developed competitive position, 73.45% at developing a competitive position and 18.64% at the least-developed position. Practical implications The paper includes implications for developing ISFs’ capacity building and best practice management for oil palm optimization, resulting in bargaining positions and social well-being. Originality/value The study had succeeded to visualize ISFs’ plantation area suitability and competitiveness at Kampar Regency, Riau Province. The model provides a brisk understanding and valuable information about ISFs’ conditions spatially. It offers specific outcomes and becomes important in optimize and develop the existing plantations at the right time and exact location.
