JAKARTA REFERENCE

The palm oil sector is dominated by Indonesia, Malaysia & Thailand, with volume amounting 90% of the world’s production. While the oil constitutes only about 10% of the palm production, the bulk of 90% is biomass. Many plantation companies are exploring conversion technologies and unlocking the potential of OPB (oil palm biomass) from its trunk to its fruit branch (EFB).
Besides palm, Indonesia produces over 200 million tonnes of biomass per year, comprising of agriculture residues (palm waste, rice husks, sugar bagasse), estate crops and forestry wastes. Indonesia therefore presents an attractive market for biomass technology with its low feedstock cost and high electricity demand.

Next generation technologies have claimed its potential to substantially expand the feedstock base for biofuels production (e.g., lignocellulosic biomass, nonedible vegetable oils, algae). Some of these processes (e.g., gasification of biomass followed by synthesis to liquid fuels- BTL) are already in their early commercialization stage.

CMT’s 2nd BiomassWorld 2009 offers top industry panel, leading plantation and power generation companies to discuss on biomass conversion to energy products, challenges and issues. Mark your calendar to be at this premier gathering to network and forge lasting business opportunities.

Do not delay! Book your seats now and update yourselves on the opportunities that biomass resources present.

10 Valid Reasons to Attend CMT’s 2nd Biomass World:

• Comparative economic analysis on converting biomass for heat, power, fuels or chemicals.

• As a project developer, have your doubts cleared on whether to convert your biomass to power, leave it for natural decomposition or look at liquid fuel opportunities?

• Thailand’s experience on converting EFB to power, operational challenges and concerns on feedstock availability

• Views from Indonesian plantation major - PT Bakrie on why they chose to convert EFB to natural fertilizer

• CDM developments (with case study on EFB power generation project) and how to claim carbon credits

• Conversion technology of biomass and EFBs to liquid fuels

• Learn from China & Japan, who are investing heavily in cellulosic fuels production technology, on the hurdles to commercialization & technology advancements

• Innovative financing schemes for biomass project and case study

• Switching from coal to biomass (saw dusts) – project in South Africa.

What opportunities it presents for the coal industry?

Also another Biomass fuel switching case study from a cement producer.• Plus a Breakfast Talk by an experienced speaker covering all aspects of Biomass pyrolysis & gasification technologies, requirements and economics.
