Analysis of the FiT provisions shows that most of the economic barriers have been well addressed. Nevertheless, the long overdue biomass supply impediment, especially for small developers remains without a definite solution. Instead, the current policy system
encourages plantation owners, enterprises and feed-in approval holders to work independently in securing biomass supply if they find the investment is financially viable [29]. The condition reflects the non-intervention approach by the regulators,
whether to mediate or to overcome supply issues should they arise.This contradicts the outcome of the survey where 84% of respondents suggest the authorities’ intervene to ensure stable supply.While recognising adequate resource availability is a precondition for the sustainable growth of the industry, Carlos and Khang [30] conclude that inefficient waste management is one of the major obstacles that could hinder the expansion of biomass technology in a sustainable manner [31].
