Book excerpt: Malaysia, being one of the largest producers of oil palm worldwide, has great potential in developing its oil palm biomass energy sector. Biomass is a clean form of energy and in the long run, can help mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through carbon sequestration. There is a huge potential of biomass energy in palm oil wastes, but only about 5 % is currently being harnessed for energy. More than 95 % of oil palm wastes produced in Malaysia are used as mulch, fertilizer and in the production of palm related wood products. Therefore in this work, a study was conducted to evaluate the biomass energy potential from palm oil throughout its useful life of 25 years. The problems and challenges faced by palm oil industries in developing their palm based biomass energy are also adressed.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern technology nowadays has led to a high consumption of energy where renewable energy sources become one of the hottest topics among the scientists. Biomass, as one of the promising renewable energy sources become the most attractive energy source in the world. Hence, this study aims to produce the high quality of torrefied oil palm biomass for efficient energy application. Torrefaction is known as the mild form of pyrolysis where the process occurs at atmospheric pressure and the temperature ranging of 473-573 K with the absence of oxygen. The raw materials selected for the study are the empty fruit bunch (EFB), mesocarp fiber and the kernel shell. The main reason of selected oil palm waste as the biomass raw material is due to its availability as Malaysia is the second largest producer of palm oil in the world. The experiment was carried out by using a tubular reactor which was located at the Gas Engineering Lab of University Malaysia Pahang. Results obtained showed that the powder form of all the samples have fully decomposed after torrefaction process, hence, the experiment was carried on with the fibrous form of samples for a better scale of study. The calorific value (CV) determined using a bomb calorimeter and the result collected showed a trend of increased in CV for all the samples started from EFB to kernel shell as the temperature increased. While for the case of mass yield, the trend was decreased for all the samples when the temperature increased along the torrefaction process. This was due to the thermal decomposition of the structure of samples during the experiment. This had directly affected the trend of energy yield by all the samples as the optimization of energy yield was not achieved at 100% except for kernel shell at 523K and 573K. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) test was also carried out in order to determine the component and chemical compositions which existed before and after the experiment, and results showed that the structure of the samples was mainly remain the same after the process.

Tons of date palm waste are being burned or buried without any use, so this thesis helps to understand the importance of the material in the region, how it can change the country’s energy production by series of experimental trials and analysis thereby, promoting green energy. Along with the date palm material, how other locally available resources from animals e.g. (chicken manure) can be mixed and used as a supplement for the material availability also being acknowledged. Another objective is to analyze whether it is economically feasible to use date palm leaf stem, compared with another biofuel, i.e.(wood) and hybridize the energy production with fossil fuels. This work is about bioenergy in the region Egypt, where the biomass, date palm trees are grown and cultivated from several centuries. The waste of the date palm trees which in abundantly available i.e. leaf stem has a huge potential with its high HHV, calorific value and low moisture content as a renewable energy source additionally, chicken manure as a supplement to use the natural resources to the core and how can it be utilized to cut down the fossil fuel resources and increase use of renewable energy. The technical analysis deals with the fuel characterization for the ultimate and proximate analysis, where the former determines the C, O, N, and H content in the biomass, the latter determines the Fixed Moisture and Carbon, Ash Content and Volatile matter content in the biomass in comparison with wood. The economic analysis deals with the cost calculations for all the technical analysis process with reference to CAPEX, OPEX with respect to Egypt, the best suited methodology, environmental-socio impacts, SWOT analysis identifying chances and challenges, feasibility of the biomass technology compared with wood and suggesting the potential to hybridize with fossil fuels, with limitations of emissions factor, ash disposal and chlorine control, achieving biomass energy production through date palm waste on a large scale run in the near future.

As compared to other resources available, biomass is one of the most common and widespread resources in the world. Thus, biomass has the potential to provide a renewable energy source, both locally and across large areas of the world. It is estimated that the total investment in the biomass sector between 2008 and 2021 will reach the large sum of $104 billion. Presently bioenergy is the most important renewable energy option and will remain so the near and medium-term future. Previously several countries try to explore the utilization of biomass in bioenergy and composite sector. Biomass has the potential to become the world’s largest and most sustainable energy source and will be very much in demand. Bioenergy is based on resources that can be utilized on a sustainable basis all around the world and can thus serve as an effective option for the provision of energy services. In addition, the benefits accrued go beyond energy provision, creating unique opportunities for regional development. The present book will provide an up-to-date account of non-wood, forest residues, agricultural biomass (natural fibers), and energy crops together with processing, properties, and its applications to ensure biomass utilization and reuse. All aspects of biomass and bioenergy and their properties and applications will be critically re-examined.
