Conclusion
In addition to economic gains in cost reduction of imported
fossil fuels, development of bioenergy will result in energy security
for the East Asian countries by diversifying the energy supply.
Generating decentralized electricity, such as biopower through
Biomass Gasifier Technology could be a boon to the people in
remote areas. This would help transform the entire economic
activities and life style of the people. A large part of rural
population would be able to use the energy for various basic needs.
Countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Nigeria have great
potential to generate decentralized electricity from palm oil
biomass. Extensive research is still needed to find optimal Palm oil
biomass to energy conversion flow sheet with minimum waste
generation and valuable by-products.
