Advancing Sustainable Energy Solutions: Combating Climate Change through Palm Oil Biomass Energy

Greenhouse gases emission has been a threat to the world for decades and has evidently contributed to the rising level of atmospheric carbon dioxide and consequent climate change. There will not be a stop to climate change unless the atmospheric concentrations of the major greenhouse gases are stabilized whereby carbon dioxide emissions are the major factor. Palm Oil Palm Oil Biomass energy has immense potential to combat climate change as a sustainable energy. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Palm Oil Palm Oil Biomass energy through palm oil usage to combat climate change and achieve the Sustainable Goals Development (SDG) Goals 7 and 13 as set by the United Nations (UN). This paper provides a critical analysis of the regulatory framework on the utilization of Palm Oil Palm Oil Biomass energy in Malaysia to determine the insufficiency of such a framework to govern biomass-related issues by referring to laws and regulations in Brazil, Thailand and Ethiopia.
