Abstract: The realm of biomass energy projects in East Malaysia presents a promising avenue for sustainable energy solutions. However, navigating the intricate landscape of land tenure poses significant challenges to the successful implementation of such projects. This research paper examines the importance of biomass energy, the legal and regulatory framework governing the land tenure in East Malaysia, shedding light on pertinent policies, laws, and customary practices that influence land access and ownership rights. Drawing upon case studies, this research paper illustrates real-world examples of land tenure challenges encountered in biomass energy projects across East Malaysia. It discusses issues such as conflicting land claims, inadequate land-use planning, tenure insecurity, and socio-economic disparities, which often hinder project development and community engagement. Hence, through a comprehensive legal analysis and examination of conflict resolution strategies, this paper aims to provide insights in promoting sustainable and socially responsible biomass energy development in East Malaysia. To conclude, the abstract underscores the significance of addressing land tenure issues in the realm of biomass energy projects in East Malaysia to ensure their sustainability and positive impact on the environment, economy and society.
