A study of Terengganus biomass energy potential from forestry wastes via material flow analysis (MFA) approach

Latifah Abdul Ghani, . and Nora’aini Ali, . and Noor Zalina Mahmood, . A study of Terengganus biomass energy potential from forestry wastes via material flow analysis (MFA) approach. pp. 120-127. ISSN 1823-8556

This paper discusses the potential for producing biomass energy of forestry and sawmill residues located in the Terengganu region Peninsular Malaysia by considering the inventory data from 2005 to 2010. In this study the Material Flow Analysis (MFA) approaches were used to investigate the energy accumulation and the flux of forestry production system. The results depicted that the input of biomass energy from sawlogs residue was found to be the highest in forest production system. The results further exhibited that the total recycled and reused wood residue was the poorest in the region among other regions in Malaysia. This study also revealed the long run relationship between the trade import-export demand and explanatory variables in forest products. This study provided important information on the implementation of sustainable management of forest system viable biofuel production systems.

Abstract

This paper discusses the potential for producing biomass energy of forestry and sawmill residues located in the Terengganu region Peninsular Malaysia by considering the inventory data from 2005 to 2010. In this study the Material Flow Analysis (MFA) approaches were used to investigate the energy accumulation and the flux of forestry production system. The results depicted that the input of biomass energy from sawlogs residue was found to be the highest in forest production system. The results further exhibited that the total recycled and reused wood residue was the poorest in the region among other regions in Malaysia. This study also revealed the long run relationship between the trade import-export demand and explanatory variables in forest products. This study provided important information on the implementation of sustainable management of forest system viable biofuel production systems.
