"Biomass products such as wood pellets, biochar and charcoal briquettes are in high demand in the global market because they are more environmentally friendly fuels than fossil fuels," he said.Awang Tengah said the production of wood pellets from Sarawak has increased by 130 per cent from 35,522 tonnes in 2022 to 81,800 tonnes in 2023.
