ELAEIS G-BIO PELLET

PROJECT PROPOSAL
 MALAYSIA PALM OIL STATISTICS
Malaysia Oil Palm Planted Hectarage

• Malaysia the 2nd largest

palm oil producing country.
• FFB yield for 2019 was
17.18 MT/ha.
• Weight ratio (wt/wt,%) EFB
to FFB is 23%.
• 20.62 million MT of EFB
Yield/ha produced in 2019.
• Abundance of EFB
available in Malaysia.
 CURRENT ISSUE

EFB Left in Mill

• EFB applied in field as fertilizer.

• Labour shortage due to Covid-19 limit
landfilling.
• Current issues;
• Pilling of EFB in the mill
• Undesired odor
• Taking up land spaces due to logistical
issues.
 PELLET STANDARDS
EU 14961 Standard for Biomass Pellet
• Pellets are a solid biofuel with consistent quality.
• Domestic usage & fossil fuel substitute.
• European standards, EN 14961, & testing accredited
according to ISO 17020 and ISO 17025.
• Wood pellet primarily used.

CO2 Emission
 WORLD PELLET DEMAND
Global Pellet Production

• 75% European, North

America (14.3%) and
Asian countries,
mainly South Korea
and Japan.

• 2017 to 2018 alone

increased by 13.3 per
cent
 WOOD PELLET

• Wood pellet are usually made from sawdust, wood chips, lumber mill scrap, and full trees unsuitable
for lumber.
• Demand is projected to grow 30 million tonnes in 2025.
 WOOD PELLET CONT.

Wood Pellet Disadvantages; Deforestation, meet demand

GHG Emission Level Increase carbon pollution, more pellets

required
Residence health issues caused by
pellet plants
Material hazardous in bulk, toxic gases

Self-heating and generation of

explosive dust
Markets unstable, price increase

High Sulphur content

 EFB PELLET

• EFB suitable source of biomass, available

throughout the year.
• Fibrous material of purely biological origin.
• No chemical & mineral additives.
