CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The oil palm industry has been contributing and generating a lot of revenue to the country besides providing unlimited fruitful employment to the nations. By unlocking the operation door for the palm oil mill operation, one can understand what is happening in the palm oil mill. Besides being able to expose key products, more importantly, one can also understand the palm oil milling by-products or waste (solid, liquid, and gaseous forms). All the while waste handling and management is the hottest topic of discussion by the authorities and the public in general. It is also actually the main concern and focus of the industry players. The efforts on sourcing alternative power sources have driven the world towards tapping renewable energy sources which are abundant, untapped and environmentally friendly, and available everywhere. Palm oil mills in this context have abundant biomass resources and biogas sources generated from the industry which are conventionally treated as waste. To enhance the degree of implementation on tapping the green energy from this biomass and biogas in the industry, teamwork and collaborative efforts from various parties are crucial. Moreover, what are the reliable engineering approaches/methods that can be adopted in this context? How to shift from waste to wealth concept? With the correct approach cum good, matured engineering & technology innovations currently, this oil palm biomass waste can be further processed and treated as value-added products.
