Tex Cycle Technology (M) Bhd has officially received confirmation from the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia regarding the Feed-in Tariff Commencement Date (FiTCD) for its new renewable energy facility. Located in Pelabuhan Klang, Selangor, the 2MW GasificationGasification is a high-temperature, thermochemical process that converts carbon-based materials into a gaseous fuel called syngas and solid by-products. It takes place in an oxygen-deficient environment at temperatures typically above 750°C. Unlike combustion, which fully burns material to produce heat and carbon dioxide (CO2​), gasification More Gas Engine Power Plant has been approved to commence full commercial operations. This regulatory milestone allows the company to supply electricity to the national grid under a Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement with Tenaga Nasional Bhd, while simultaneously integrating biocharBiochar is a carbon-rich material created from biomass decomposition in low-oxygen conditions. It has important applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, agriculture, carbon sequestration, energy storage, and sustainable materials, promoting efficiency and reducing waste in various contexts while addressing climate change challenges. More production into its operational workflow.

The central challenge addressed by this project is the dual necessity of managing biomassBiomass is a complex biological organic or non-organic solid product derived from living or recently living organism and available naturally. Various types of wastes such as animal manure, waste paper, sludge and many industrial wastes are also treated as biomass because like natural biomass these More waste sustainably and increasing the national share of renewable energy. Traditional methods of biomass disposal, such as incineration or landfilling, often result in high greenhouse gas emissions and the loss of potential resources. Concurrently, Malaysia is striving to meet ambitious government targets to escalate the contribution of renewable energy to the national electricity mix from 2 percent to 20 percent by 2030, a goal that requires efficient, scalable alternatives to conventional fossil fuel generation.

To resolve these issues, Tex Cycle utilized advanced gasification technology rather than direct combustion. This system converts biomass into synthesis gas (syngasSyngas, or synthesis gas, is a fuel gas mixture consisting primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It is produced during gasification and can be used as a fuel source or as a feedstock for producing other chemicals and fuels.   More), which then powers high-efficiency gas engines to generate electricity. Distinct from standard incineration, this process is engineered as a near-zero-waste system. It captures the carbon and chemical value of the feedstockFeedstock refers to the raw organic material used to produce biochar. This can include a wide range of materials, such as wood chips, agricultural residues, and animal manure. More, resulting in the generation of marketable byproducts, including biochar, wood vinegar, and bio-oil. This approach effectively closes the loop on material use, embodying circular economy principles within an industrial energy framework.

The outcomes of this initiative are both financial and environmental. The confirmed FiTCD sets the Feed-in Tariff at 42.7 sen per kWh, providing a stable revenue stream for the energy produced. Environmentally, the plant offers a significant reduction in emissions compared to traditional waste management practices. The continuous production of biochar provides further value, offering a carbon-sequestering material suitable for agricultural and industrial applications.
