Nature Terms Greentech Sdn. Bhd.
The premier provider of renewable energy solutions.
Our mission is to use waste to create renewable energy sources that reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
We specialise in utilising empty fruit bunches (EFB) to produce pellets and using palm kernel shells to produce activated carbon. By repurposing these waste materials, we can create energy while reducing waste and the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere.
At Nature Terms Greentech, we are committed to promoting sustainability and reducing the world's dependence on fossil fuels. Our team of experts has years of experience in the renewable energy industry and is dedicated to finding innovative solutions to the world's energy challenges.
We believe that every step towards a sustainable future is important, and we are proud to be at the forefront of the green energy movement. Our products are eco-friendly, efficient, and cost-effective, making them an ideal solution for anyone who wants to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on energy costs.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are replenished naturally and are constantly available. These sources include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite resources, renewable energy is sustainable and has a minimal impact on the environment.
Renewable energy produced from palm oil waste is a type of biomass energy. Biomass energy is produced from organic matter such as plants and waste, and can be used to generate electricity or heat. Palm oil waste is a type of biomass that is generated during the production of palm oil. It includes palm fronds, empty fruit bunches, and palm kernel shells.
Palm oil waste is a significant environmental problem, as it is often burned or left to decompose, releasing harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. However, by converting this waste into renewable energy, we can reduce its impact on the environment and create a sustainable source of energy.
Our company specialises in producing renewable energy from palm oil waste. Through anaerobic digestion, we extract methane gas from the waste and use it to generate electricity. Our power plant is capable of producing enough electricity to power the entire palm oil mill, as well as nearby communities.
By using renewable energy from palm oil waste, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also creating a circular economy. The waste generated during palm oil production is no longer seen as a problem but as a valuable resource that can be used to produce energy.
OIL RECOVERY FROM EFB
At Nature Terms Greentech Sdn. Bhd., we aim to utilise the waste generated from the palm oil industry to extract and recover the oil from empty fruit bunches (EFB). EFBs are the fibrous material that remains after the fruit is stripped from the palm oil bunches. EFBs are usually considered as waste and can pose an environmental challenge if not managed properly. The recovered oil from EFB can be used in various applications, including as a cooking oil, in the production of biodiesel, and as a lubricant. Recovering oil from EFB not only helps to reduce waste in the palm oil industry, but it also provides a valuable resource that can be used for various purposes.
PALM OIL WASTE
Malaysia is one of the largest producers and exporters of palm oil in the world. Palm oil is a versatile and widely-used vegetable oil that is derived from the fruit of oil palm trees, which are native to West Africa but are also grown in many tropical countries, including Malaysia.
Palm oil is used in a wide range of products, including food, cosmetics, and biofuels. It is a highly efficient crop, with a much higher yield per unit area than other vegetable oils, which makes it an important source of vegetable oil for the world.
Malaysia's palm oil industry is a significant contributor to the country's economy, providing employment for over 650,000 people and accounting for around 4% of Malaysia's GDP. The country's palm oil exports generate significant foreign exchange earnings, with major markets including China, India, the European Union, and the United States.
As of 2021, the total planted area for oil palm in Malaysia is approximately 5.74 million hectares. This is based on data from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), which is the government agency responsible for the development of the palm oil industry in Malaysia.
The state of Sabah has the largest oil palm planted area in Malaysia, followed by the states of Sarawak, Johor, and Pahang. These four states account for more than 70% of the total oil palm planted area in the country.
The Malaysian government has implemented a cap on the expansion of oil palm plantations, with a maximum total planted area of 6.5 million hectares. According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), as of December 2021, there were 415 palm oil mills and 48 refineries in Malaysia. The cap is part of efforts to promote sustainable development and protect the environment, as well as to ensure that the industry remains competitive and economically viable in the long term.
In recent years, Malaysia has also focused on expanding the use of palm oil in new markets, such as the production of biodiesel, as a way to boost demand and support the industry. However, the industry is also facing increasing competition from other vegetable oils, as well as pressure to reduce its environmental impact and ensure sustainability.
The amount of waste generated by the palm oil industry in Malaysia is significant, and includes both solid and liquid waste. According to the MPOB, the estimated quantities of waste generated by the palm oil industry in Malaysia in 2020 were as follows:
-
Palm oil mill effluent (POME): 80 million tonnes
-
Empty fruit bunches (EFB): 17.5 million tonnes
-
Palm kernel shell (PKS): 4.5 million tonnes
-
Palm oil mill solid waste (POMSW): 4.4 million tonnes
These estimates are based on the production of 19.6 million tonnes of crude palm oil in Malaysia in 2020. The actual amounts of waste generated can vary depending on various factors such as the size of the palm oil mill, the processing technology used, and the amount of fresh fruit bunches processed. Nevertheless, the palm oil industry in Malaysia generates significant amounts of waste, and proper waste management practices are needed to minimise the environmental impact of this waste.
