Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (www.poic.com.my)
Located in south-eastern Sabah, the Lahad Datu Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (POIC Lahad Datu) is the first dedicated industrial cluster of its kind in Malaysia. It is a model project that will entrench Malaysia's global status in the palm oil industry. POIC Lahad Datu is strategically located in the oil palm belt of Sabah. Its proximity to major palm oil plantations in neighbouring Indonesia's Kalimantan Provinces (Malaysia and Indonesia combine to produce some 80% of the global palm oil output) and lauric oil production areas in the Southern Philippines makes it potentially the international focal point for vegetable oil-based industries.
POIC Lahad Datu was established in 2005. The initial 1,150 acres in the first phase of the 5,000-acre cluster have received overwhelming responses especially from investors in biodiesel. Foreign and Malaysian investors are planning biodiesel plants with combined capacity of over 1 million tonnes per year. Some of these plants have begun production since 2007.
POIC Lahad Datu is also aggressively promoting industries utilizing the large volume of biomass generated from the oil palm plantations in Sabah. |

I observe a very great progress of Malaysia start up company that really keen to invest in biodiesel industry. Intrack Technology Sdn Bhd claims that they now have the technology to produce biodiesel from waste vegetable oil (WVO). I dont either the technology is newly invented or it is the one which already been discussed and talked in here
The company stressed that they buy 60 tonne metric WVO in a month and process it to produce biodiesel. The chairman of the company Datuk Ruslan Mohammad said during a visit from various government agencies representative.
The managing director Muk Seng Wai claims that the biodiesel produced is environmental friendly and they have started the research to improve the process for a better production and costing.
He said that the biodiesel produced from the WV0 will be cheaper than the mainstream diesel in the market.
At the moment the company operate at a small shop lot and hope for investment from individuals interested in the project.
I wish them a very best of luck!
