Energy Potential of Empty Fruit Bunches BioEnergy Consult
In a typical palm oil mill, empty fruit bunches are available in abundance as fibrous material of purely biological origin. Energy potential of empty fruit bunches is attractive as it contains neither chemical nor mineral additives, and depending on proper handling operations at the mill, it is free from foreign elements such as gravel, nails,

Request on ResearchGate On Nov 9, 2011, Somrat Kerdsuwan and others published Renewable Energy from Palm Oil Empty Fruit Bunch
Empty fruit bunch (EFB) from oil palm is one of the potential biomass to produce biofuels like bio-oil due to its abundant supply and favorable physicochemical characteristics. Confirming the assertion, this paper presents an overview of EFB as a feedstock for bio-oil production. The fundamental characteristics of EFB in terms of proximate
Conversion of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch to Biofuels
Figure 1. Oil palm and oil palm empty fruit bunch. The supply of oil palm biomass and its processing by-products are found to be seven times that of natural timber .Besides producing oils and fats, there are continuous interests in using oil palm biomass as the source of renewable energy.
we can define palm oil mill (POM) production as well as potential types of fuel, and the improvements for POM milling process. This research will define the potentials of palm biomass in becoming a green energy producer. Keywords: palm oil mill (POM), potential energy, fresh fruit bunch

Renewable Energy System. As the world’s fossil fuels become more and more scare and their prices spiral, men not only begin to source for alternative fuels but also environmental-friendly ones. They begin to look at solar, wind and biomass fuels. Being one of the world’s major producers of palm oil, Malaysia has also produced enormous amount of palm oil waste such as empty fruit bunch (efb
of plantation planted with oil palms . There are close to 430 palm oil mills that process the palm fruits and these mills generate an abundant amount of biowastes or biomass. The solid biomass generated consists of shells, fruit fibers and empty fruit bunches (EFBs). For every tonne of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) processed, about 55 kg, 135 kg
