Potential Raw Material in World Market
- With the decreasing sawdust supply and increasing global interest in renewable fuel, palm biomass is a potential raw material to be used in pellet/briquette production.
- Production cost would depend on the raw material used as the major cost is pre-treatment of the EFB.
- Pelleting/briquetting of palm biomass increases its calorific value, reduces moisture content and makes it easy to handle.
Process
- The EFB is to be treated and processed into pellet/briquette via proven technology
- Nominal capacity ranges from 0.5 tons per day to 800 tons per day.
