Malaysia with a population of 29.570 million people (Department of Statistics 2013) and gross domestic product (GDP) estimate of US$247.781 billion (Global Finance 1987-2011 V2.1) is heavily dependent on fossil fuels—the transport and industrial sectors being the major users of petroleum, natural gas and coal in 2005. The trans­port sector took up 38% of total energy consumption; biofuels can lighten this demand from fossil fuel. The energy production was dominantly derived from coal, petroleum and natural gas, with renewable being only ~4.1% in 2006. Of this, Malaysia achieved only 1.8% for grid-connected renewable electricity (Malek 2010).
