  • Can palm oil mill effluent be used to generate bioenergy?
  • The technoeconomic feasibility of POME-to-bioenergy must be improved to attract investors. The remaining challenges and recommendations towards advancement are laid out. Reusing palm oil mill effluent (POME) to generate bioenergy effectively promotes a circular economy in wastewater treatment, cleaner production, and renewable energy.
  • Are palm oil mills a viable business option?
  • Palm oil mills may lessen their adverse effects on the environment and generate sustainable energy by capturing and using biogas. According to Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) carbon credit incentives, building methane-capture systems like biogas plants is a viable business option.
  • How to upgrade biogas in palm oil mill?
  • Mohamad et al. analysed that water scrubbing is the most practical technique for biogas upgrading in the palm oil mill industry, followed by membrane and chemical scrubbing and PSA. Among various methods that can be used to produce high-quality bio-CNG, cryogenic upgrading is less commonly used because of its complicated operating method.
  • How does biogas work in South Africa?
  • In South Africa, the Uilenkraal dairy farm in the Western Cape operates off-grid through a biogas plant that converts cow manure into energy for the farm's operations. The biogas plant has significantly reduced the farm's reliance on grid electricity, resulting in cost savings. National Biogas Market Overview
  • How many megawatts of biogas can South Africa produce?
  • According to a report by the South African Biogas Industry Association (SABIA), there is a potential for up to 4,000 megawatts of biogas energy in South Africa, which is equivalent to the output of two nuclear power plants.
  • Are biogas projects a waste management project in South Africa?
  • Project development is complicated and the South African legal landscape for biogas has complex and changing legal permitting requirements. There is a strong case and clear recommendation to communicate and package projects as waste management projects.
