Abstract
AbstractThe depletion of fossil fuel and the harmful environmental emissions such as greenhouse gases (GHG) has led to continuous effort to produce high value-added products from the biomass. With more than 5.8 million hectares of oil palms, Malaysia’s oil palm industry has been one of the largest contributors to oil palm biomass. Oil palm production in Malaysia is increasing every year, resulting in an abundance of oil palm waste. Due to these circumstances, Malaysia has the great potential to utilise oil palm biomass in a wide range of applications, including renewable energy. The characteristics of biomass complement the ability to generate reliable energy sources. This study will brief the potential utilisation of the oil palm residues from plantations, which are oil palm frond (OPF) and oil palm trunk (OPT)—the availability, characteristics, and related technologies on biomass conversion.KeywordsOil palmFrondTrunkBiomassRenewable energy
