Abstract

Even though dates are produced in large scales in Saudi Arabia, it is not the only product palm trees can offer. Transformative products of palm trees that can be beneficial for the community are intense. For instance, using fronds waste as a biomass to generate power at remote areas or central cities where palm trees population is intense might be a transformative product of palm trees. Using natural waste as a supplement source of electricity at the communities living near palm farms will have a profound effect on the environment and economy. This paper discusses the feasibility of using palm trees' fronds as a biomass in Saudi Arabia. It complies with the kingdom's strategic power plan where alternative power sources are encouraged in the vision 2030. This paper briefly illustrates the opportunity of using biomass, statistics of palm trees in Saudi and the use of biomass as a feedstock to generate electricity in Medina region as a case study.
