Biogas Projects

Benefits of both mills and the local community ;
  • Electricity may be produced from POME at a rate between 15 and 24 tonnes FFB per MWhr. Typically mill can produce between 1 and 3 MW of electricity.
  • Additional mill processes such as kernel crushing and fibre processing become cheaper to operate.
  • While mills save diesel, lower-cost electricity means mill housing, plantation compounds and local villages may all enjoy more electricity and higher standards of living.
  • Modest local industries using electricity become feasible, for example produce may be kept refrigerated.
  • Methane capture significantly reduces carbon footprint and assists RSPO certification.
  • Upgrading of biogas to transport fuels is feasible.
