“…For example, Finland's national renewable energy action sets the baseline for the development of bio-coal, and many favourite measures has been adopted for renewable energy policy, including energy taxation, tax relief, production and investment subsidies, funding for R&D, and incentives for production and end uses [39]. Therefore, public relations play a crucial role in the bio-coal business, and relationship management would be an efficient tool in managing governmental, public and stakeholders' relationships involved in the bio-coal business.…”

“…Depending on process conditions, the resultant solid product is either charcoal (process temperature above 320 C) or torrefied wood (process temperature between 200 and 300 C) [39]. Both of these products are bio-coals.…”

“…The macro-environment elements and their possible impacts in the biofuel market have been reported as difficult to control but modifiable, concerning the ways biofuels could be inserted in local markets. These elements are legislation, economic conditions, the technological environment surrounding the product and the socio-environmental conditions (Arndt, Pauw and Thurlow, 2015;Goetz et al, 2018;Gonzalez, 2019;Van Dael et al 2012;Wang 2014).…”

Debido a que los biocombustibles representan una opción satisfactoria de energía renovable para México, el objetivo de esta investigación fue explorar y describir el estado actual de las políticas de biocombustibles en este país, así como sugerir estrategias para incrementar su potencial en el mercado energético. El método se basó en una revisión de diferentes estudios y entrevistas a importantes productores y académicos expertos. Los resultados indican que el biogás es el biocombustible con el más alto potencial de desarrollo, seguido por el bioetanol, pero las oportunidades para el biodiesel son reducidas, principalmente debido a una insuficiente producción de materia prima. Se requiere una política de incentivos fiscales para mantener a los productores en el mercado.

“…Biochar is a 'concept which covers all solid thermally degraded biomass products produced in the process of pyrolysis, including Torre faction and hydrothermal carbonization with different features and applications' (Wang, Lurina, Hyytiäinen, & Mikkonen, 2014). The International Biochar Initiative, a nongovernmental organization registered in the United States defines biochar as 'solid material obtained from the thermochemical con-version of biomass in an oxygen-limited environment.…”

Biochar is relatively a new and unfamiliar product to many, but biochar usage involves converting agricultural waste into a soil enhancer which help soil retain nutrients and water. The use of biochar may store carbon in the soil for a period of time for several hundreds of years as well as reduce the emission of nitrous oxide that in turn has its own potency to combat climate change. Despite this promising prospect on mitigating environmental damage from climate change, it is contended that the application of biochar still indicates uncertainties in its usage. With the lack of scientific and economic knowledge pertaining to biochar, such uncertainties are further compounded by unclear regulatory support that hampers or even prevents initiation of biochar projects. This article will review relevant regulatory framework, policies and standards at the international level in regards to the application and production of biochar. Further, the aim of this article is to investigate the potential of legal implication practiced in the biochar industry, thus providing a general insight on developing laws, policies and regulations for this industry in Malaysia. Hence, a sustainable legal framework for biochar could be adapted from existing international frameworks for bioenergy for development of a framework for sustainable biochar industry to tackle challenges of climate change in Malaysia.
