PUTRAJAYA: Currently thrown out as waste, by-products from the oil, forestry and agriculture sector could be worth RM17bil by 2030 in the biomass industry, says Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the industry would not just have a positive impact on the economy, but help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions through the circular economy framework.
