Summary. Sarawak faces rural electrification challenges due to scattered populations in remote terrain. The region's extensive oil palm plantations generate palm oil mill effluent that could produce enough biogas to power nearly 2 million households. The paper examines solid oxide fuel cell technology for converting biogas to electricity, achieving up to 60% efficiency—superior to conventional combustion engines. This approach offers a viable pathway for renewable energy generation and rural electrification across Sarawak.
