The document discusses Clean Development Biogas Processing (CDBPTM) using oil palm fronds as a renewable energy source in Malaysia. It summarizes that CDBPTM is a cost-effective process using enzymes and simplified processing to convert oil palm fronds into biogas through a continuous stirred tank reactor. The technology has the potential to generate renewable energy and income while reducing greenhouse gas emissions for Malaysia and Indonesia.
![Why Oil Palm Fronds (OPF) to Biogas?
OPF to Biogas have tremendous Estimated Malaysia palm estate:
green energy potential
It is estimated Malaysia has
66.5mil tonnes of Oil palm fronds
(OPF) [MPOB-2007]
A OPF to Biogas program could
contribute RM8 billion per year
to the Growth of Malaysian
Economy [Novozymes]

Palm oil wastewater treatment
The Oil palm Effluent Ponds are located next to
the oil mills, through treating the effluent water –
the POME – in the Biogas Plants will reduce the
COD – BOD content from 50-60,000 parts per
million (PPM) to only 5-7000 (PPM), which
thereafter can be easily treated by a relatively
small water Treatment Plant at the end of the
overall process, after which clean water can be
reused and/or emitted into the rivers – seas.
[thus standards set by the Malaysian and
Indonesian Governments can be easily complied]

- 25. Our Business Model CGD offers to bring a unique combination of hardware and software to your site and set up efficient, state of the art biogas production. We offer two business models – both aimed at improving the profitability and environmental profile of your business. Either we will invest, operate and own the biogas production, possibly together with the site owner (e.g. a wastewater treatment plant owner). This is what we mainly do, because it allows us to optimize and develop the production over time. Our activities include: Process optimization Functional delivery Installation and mechanical upgrade Gas cleaning Alternatively, we can offer a license package. This means that our client will own the production but we will offer our technology and expertise: Basic and detailed project planning Equipment delivery Functional delivery Start-up assistance Site supervision Long service & maintenance contracts 25
