Palm oil has been extensively studied by many researchers to determine the best ways to exploit this crop. The palm oil industry as a whole has secured substantial income for the national economy. The Malaysian palm oil industry is the fourth largest contributor to the national economy, accounting for 8% of the gross national income per capita in 2009 (Economic Transformation Programme: NKEA, 2009) and contributing RM83 billion in Malaysian export earnings for 2011 (Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities Malaysia25th edition, 2011). To ensure that industrial production meets the global targets of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the palm oil industry has focused on identifying sustainable production measures and processes for all activity levels from upstream to downstream. Most studies emphasize upstream processes, especially the activities of palm oil mills. Studies on how to optimize and sustain palm oil production by minimizing GHG emissions at the plantation level are lacking. The use of renewable energy sources in plantation activities is identified as one of the potential solutions to reduce GHG emissions.
