PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Palm Oil Board has suggested tapping the potential of using “waste” from oil palm to generate electricity as a cleaner alternative to fuels like coal.
At present, he said, bio-pellets produced in Malaysia are mostly exported to Japan and Korea where there is huge demand.Both products can serve as a cleaner alternative to coal, which contains sulphur that leads to acid rain, he said. He said studies have been done on the use of bio-pellets, and urged authorities in Malaysia to look into the implementation of such a practice.He said palm oil mill effluent can also produce methane, a bio-gas which can be used in the generation of electricity, while biomass can be treated through a chemical process to produce bio-ethanol as bio-fuel to be added to petrol fuel.
