How the palm oil industry is transitioning to net-zero
Although palm oil has its positives, it is frequently associated with deforestation and significant greenhouse gas emissions. To address these concerns, the leading palm oil producers, Indonesia and Malaysia, are actively promoting sustainable palm oil production and transitioning to net-zero emissions. Among other oil crops, such as soybean

Empty Fruit BunchesPalm Press FibresOil Recovery from Palm Oil Mill EffluentTypically, a palm oil mill produces around 22 to 27% of EFB with respect to FFB (Aziz et al. 2015; Kramanandita et al. 2014; Mamat et al. 2017). EFB normally contain about 0.5% (wrt FFB) of residual oil. The residual oil in the EFB can be recovered through mechanical mean using a screw press, also known as an EFB press. The pressing process introdu...
