Palm oil mill effluent, or POME, is the effluent generated from the final stages of palm oil production in the mill. For every tonne of crude palm oil extracted from milling, about 2.5 tonnes of POME is generated ( Sulaiman et al., 2009 ), and in 2005, about 66.8 million tonnes of POME were produced ( Vairappan & Yen, 2008 ).
The feasibility of using these oil palm biomass and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as a feedstock for bioenergy production has received overwhelming interests worldwide in the effort to confront the energy crisis. This chapter discusses the availability, demand, and potential and future direction of oil palm resources from oil to biomass waste as the feedstock for bioenergy conversion.
