Palm Industry Solid Waste Potential for Biofuel Product
Abundant Raw Material Feedstock
Indonesia is the biggest CPO (crude palm oil) producer in the world with
an annual production of approximately 22 millions Tonnes, a plantation area of approximately 7
million hectares and more than 400 palm oil mills (POM). An additional 18 million hectares has been identified for palm plantation expansion. The solid waste components from POM production are empty fruit bunch (EFB), fibre
and shell. These have been identified as the potential raw materials for pyrolysis technology to yield charcoal/
biochar or torrified wood, bio-oil and syngas.
