oil palm processing, enormous wastes are generated that so far remained underutilized in palm oil mills in Nigeria. These wastes from oil palm processing include both solid (Empty fruit bunch, palm press fiber, palm kernel shell and chaff) (Ohimain et al., 2013a; Ohimain and Izah, 2013a, 2014a) and liquid wastes (Palm oil mill effluents)
The palm oil plantations powering communities
The palm oil plantations powering communities and tackling climate change Palm oil mills are generating electricity using waste methane to the benefit of local communities and company profits
In 2015, GAR introduced methane capture facilities and processes to recycle waste from the palm oil to lower the company’s greenhouse gas emissions. Methane emissions from the waste water, which is produced during palm oil processing,account for about one third of the warming potential of greenhouse gas release from rainforest and peat swamp
Neste-led project verified 50% methane emission reduction
Some palm oil mills have already adopted methods to capture methane. This earlier method involves covering the open ponds containing palm oil mill effluent, i.e. POME, to capture the gas for electricity production, for example. Neste has encouraged this development over the years through including many of such mills in its supply chain.

Neste-led project verifies 50% methane emission reduction
Recently, the focus has been on methane (CH4) emissions at the palm oil mills since milling process accounts for a significant share of life cycle emissions of palm oil products. In 2015, Neste initiated a two-year study project to verify the methane emission reduction for a newly applied effluent treatment method. The project took place in
in methane capture CDM projects, and have a combined experience of over 10 years in the industry. Our engineering team has performed work in the Ag market and has developed projects for various applications such as pork, dairy, slaughter facilities, palm oil, and industrial organic waste. Biodigestion in Palm Oil Mills The palm oil industry generates the largest amount of biomass in the oil
OPINION: Fixing Palm Oil’s Other Climate Threat Ensia
From 2008 to 2011, carbon was trading well above $10 per metric ton, and palm oil mills were able to finance methane capture systems through carbon revenues via the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism. Adding energy returns just made the deal sweeter, resulting in the first wave of biogas facilities throughout the industry. But when the price of carbon plummeted, biogas development
Neste Corporation News 2 March 2024 Neste-lead project verified 50% methane emission reduction at palm oil mills Belt press filtering of mill effluent reduced methane emissions at the POME pond by 50%.
