“…Malaysia has reiterated its commitment to increasing the percentage of carbonneutral energy sources as part of its efforts to tackle global climate change. Notably, the country has revised its target for RE in the national energy mix, raising it from 20% to 31% by the year 2025 (Rahman et al, 2022). Despite the vast growth of biogas plant utilisation to generate energy in Malaysia, there are several shortcomings which have hindered its development.…”

Lignocellulosic Biomass (LCB) is regarded as a potentially sustainable alternative resource to fossil fuels.To address concerns related to environmental degradation and geopolitical tensions arising from resource scarcity, the global focus shifted towards developing and utilising sustainable and Renewable Energy (RE) technologies. Biogas technology has attracted attention due to its promising potential to generate energy from agro-waste and the preservation of natural resources. Therefore, this review explores the potential of utilising RE, specifically focusing on its practical implementation in Malaysia. It critically evaluates pre-treatment methods suitable for the country's prevalent biomass sources, offering insights into their applicability.Additionally, the article provides updated data on Malaysia's strategy to advance RE production, particularly in biogas. Despite considerable efforts, there is a notable gap in comprehensively assessing the impact of pretreatment methods on LCB in Malaysia's biogas production. Hence, this article critically assesses recent advancements to address this gap, focusing on potential challenges and the comparative effectiveness of treatment techniques in Malaysian biogas production. It is with the aim to shed light on associated drawbacks and suggest means to enhance performance. Finally, this article ends by reviewing economic analyses for pre-treatment in LCB, focusing on efficient biogas production.

This paper describes the design of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system using simulation of PVsyst software. This work involves the simulation of bifacial and mono-facial PV solar in a large-scale solar system. For a bifacial system, the yearly total energy to the grid is 1699.6 MWh, with an average of 4.57 kWh/kWp/day. For a mono-facial system, the total energy to the grid over the year is 1645.3 MWh, with an average of 4.05 kWh/kWp/day. The average collection losses obtained for bifacial and mono-facial modules were 0.33 kWh/kWp/day and 0.82 kWh/kWp/day, respectively, with system losses of 0.15 kWh/kWp/day (bifacial) and 0.18 kWh/kWp/day (mono-facial). The average performance ratio for bifacial and mono-facial was 0.904 and 0.801, respectively. The bifacial PV system was able to generate profit in terms of Return on investment (ROI), around 357%, and reach a breakeven around 7 years. The payback period for a mono-facial PV system was around 8.1 years, with an ROI of 290.4%. This work mainly focuses on a comparative analysis of bifacial and mono-facial photovoltaics, emphasizing the effectiveness and the implementation suitability of bifacial photovoltaics over mono-facial PV solar systems.
