KUALA LUMPUR, 17 AUGUST 2026 —
SD Guthrie Renewable Energy Sdn Bhd won the Renewable Energy Off-Grid – Thermal Category at the National Energy Award 2026 for its Lavang Biogas Co-Firing Plant at the Lavang Oil Mill in Bintulu, Sarawak.
Market Impact
The award recognises the plant’s use of biogas from palm oil mill effluent to replace thermal fuel at the mill. In the 12 months to June 2025, the plant processed 3.80 million Nm³ of biogas at 97% availability, SDGRE said.
The facility displaced about 3% of palm kernel shell use against total fresh fruit bunches processed and cut 44,480 tCO₂e of emissions, according to the company.
SDGRE is the renewable-energy unit of plantation-to-logistics group SD Guthrie Berhad.
