Building on the findings of the UNDP Malaysia SDG Investor Map (2023), the Policy Brief White Space 1 expands on the Investment Opportunity Area (IOA) for the conversion of bio-based feedstocks. It explores the opportunities driving the sector's growth, alongside the challenges that continue to shape its development.

Malaysia's bio-based feedstocks sector is well positioned to support the country's clean energy transition, but unlocking its full potential will require stronger policy support and a more enabling investment environment. This policy brief examines the barriers limiting private investment, from regulatory and market challenges to financing constraints, and presents practical recommendations to help create the conditions for long-term sector growth.
