Overview

Biogas is a green renewable energy produced by the breakdown of organic matter such as palm oil industrial waste which are hazardous to the environment. The breakdown of hazardous industrial waste into simple molecules by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic digestion. 

The biogas generated from anaerobic digesters may contain hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, moisture, and traces of other gases which must be treated, stored, and utilized effectively in a biogas boiler to generate steam or flared to atmosphere to protect the environment. The biogas generated from palm oil industrial waste is an energy rich fuel gas where the dependency of fossil fuel can be reduced. The talk explains the generation of biogas through digestion, the safety measures to be considered during the storage and finally the environmental benefits in terms of CO2 reduction and the concept of waste to wealth.
