Palm oil has been the subject of much criticism and debate for many years: firstly because tropical rainforests are being cleared for palm oil production, threatening biodiversity, and secondly because in many cases the inhabitants are being driven off their land.
unique aspect of Malaysian renewable energy sources is that the palm oil mill is self-sufficient in energy, using palm press fiber (PPE), empty fruits bunch (EFB) and shell as fuel to generate steam in waste fuel boilers for processing and power generation with steam turbines [4].
