Oil palm biomass as a sustainable energy source

Oil palm biomass as a sustainable energy source

Bio-energy. The palm oil industry is a critical source of energy, both for transportation as well as electricity generation. And it is not simply relying on palm oil to produce energy, but rather, on a number of by-products. Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) of which more than 60 million tonnes is produced every year, Among the generated oil palm biomass, OPF is by far the highest in quantity, accounting for more than 50% of the total biomass generated in the oil palm industries. Therefore, OPF appears to be a very promising source of raw materials in Malaysia. In this context, biomass from oil palm industries appears to be a very promising alternative as a source of raw materials including renewable energy in Malaysia. Thus, this paper aims to present current scenario of biomass in Malaysia covering issues on availability and sustainability of feedstock as well as current and possible utilization of oil palm biomass. On the other hand, presently million of hectares of land in Malaysia is occupied with oil palm plantation generating huge quantities of biomass. In this context, biomass from the oil palm industries appears to be a very promising alternative as a source of raw materials including renewable energy in Malaysia.

renewable energy resources for biomass. Biomass power potentials from palm oil were estimated at 820 TJ on 2010. Indonesia has very substantial potential for .

At present there is a continuously increasing interest in the utilization of oil palm biomass as a source of clean energy. One of the major interests is hydrogen from oil palm biomass. Hydrogen from biomass is a clean and efficient energy source and is expected to take a significant role in future energy demand due to the raw material availability. In addition to this oil, palm is also a well-known plant for its other sources of renewable energy, for example huge quantities of biomass by-products are developed to produce value added products such as methane gas, bio-plastic, organic acids, bio-compost, ply-wood, activated carbon, and animal feedstock. Bio-energy. The palm oil industry is a critical source of energy, both for transportation as well as electricity generation. And it is not simply relying on palm oil to produce energy, but rather, on a number of by-products. Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) of which more than 60 million tonnes is produced every year,

Biomass—renewable energy from plants and animals. Biomass is organic material that comes from plants and animals, and it is a renewable source of energy. Biomass contains stored energy from the sun. Plants absorb the sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis. When biomass is burned, the chemical energy in biomass is released as heat.

Annex A: Mass Balance of Palm Oil Extracts and Residues . renewable sources sold to PLN. with a renewable alternative (Biomass Energy Centre, n.d.). 3: Main impacts and feedback in the food, agriculture and energy systems following the Malaysian crops, excluding oil palm resources. 28: Approaches and expected. However the exact quantities of sustainable biomass and residues. as renewable resources for new products and energy that enhance the sustainability of the palm oil production chain. How much of the different biomass   Malaysia government decided to enhance the coal import volume and renewable energy development based on solar, biomass and biogas source to support
