Renewable Energy
Biomass Power
The Group has also been contributing towards the environment through its palm bio-integration approach. The Group built a fully integrated complex in Kunak, Sabah which includes both biomass and biogas power plants to leverage the potential of commercial bio-waste products within the palm oil industry.
Solid by-products from the Group’s mills are used to electricity and industrial steam.
The entire integrated complex runs on renewable green energy courtesy of a 14MW biomass cogeneration plant.
The complex is the 1st biomass power plant in the country to be connected to the grid, and has been supplying green electricity via a renewable energy power purchase agreement (REPPA) with Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd.
Biogas Power
Another eco-friendly project by the Group is biogas power and sustainable energy produced from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), a type of wastewater generated from the palm oil milling process.
An aerobic activated sludge process was introduced during the harvesting of energy from POME, resulting in more eco-friendly POME discharge in line with regulatory compliance.
The Group also employs methane gas recovery and utilization processes in electricity generation, and successfully reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
All of the Group’s renewable energy projects are registered as Clean Development Mechanism projects under the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC).
