We are thrilled to share a significant development in our commitment to sustainable energy!
On August 26th, Organics officially signed an agreement with Bumitama Gunajaya Agro to launch a groundbreaking project utilizing Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) for co-firing. The signing ceremony took place at the Bumitama Gunajaya Agro headquarters in South Jakarta.
About This Project
The project that has been started on the 5 Aug 2024, is located in Central Kalimantan at a palm oil mill with a capacity of 75 tons per hour (TPH) of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). The biogas used in this project is generated from the treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME). This project is designed with focus on Co-Firing for Boiler Efficiency. Additionally, the biogas from POME will be used for co-firing to operate the palm oil mill’s boiler, ensuring a more efficient and environmentally friendly process.
Strategic Partnership for Sustainability
This partnership with Bumitama Gunajaya Agro is a significant step forward in our commitment to renewable energy and sustainable industrial practices. By utilizing biogas produced from POME, we seek to make a real contribution to reducing carbon emissions and promoting clean energy solutions in the palm oil industry.
Why This Matters
This project is not only focused on energy generation but also aims to transform how the industry views sustainability. The integration of POME-derived biogas for boiler operation in Central Kalimantan highlights the innovative potential of renewable energy technologies in addressing global environmental challenges. We will also be utilizing biogas digesters or reactors to ensure an optimal process.
Biogas management will be a key aspect of this project’s operations, including biogas monitoring and biogas waste management, to minimize environmental impact.
Looking to the Future
As this project moves forward this year, we are excited about the positive impact it will have on both our operations and the environment. We are grateful for the trust and partnership with Bumitama Gunajaya Agro and are confident that this collaboration will set new standards for sustainability in the industry.
While the current project is centered on co-firing, there is exciting potential for future expansion into biogas production from POME. This would further enhance the sustainability of mill operations by generating renewable energy directly from POME treatment.
Stay Connected
Follow our progress as we bring this project to life, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future. Stay tuned for updates on our project’s progress. We will also be sharing articles about biogas and renewable energy news regularly through our website and social media, including guides on how biogas power generation works, biogas generator technology, and information about biogas digester components.
