“Biogas power plants take advantage of the natural decomposition process of organic waste to generate electricity. Organic liquid waste produced during palm oil production is a large energy source that has not been widely utilized in Indonesia. Converting POME into biogas for combustion can produce energy while reducing the climate change impact of palm oil production processes.

This book serves as an information source on POME conversion technology into energy and its benefits, as well as a guide for those interested in conducting feasibility studies. It contains basic information about liquid waste from palm oil mills, biogas, biogas production technology, and anaerobic processes, construction and operation of biogas power plants, various uses of biogas, and operational risks of biogas power plants, steps taken to assess biogas production potential and electricity system requirements that also discuss examples of analysis in feasibility studies and preparation for the development of biogas power plants (PLTBg), funding and investment in biogas projects, practices and sustainability standards in the palm oil industry, as well as calculations of greenhouse gas emissions from the palm oil industry.
