ASIATIC: Landmark biomass power plant starts generating

Palm oil mill owners are only too happy to be rid of the abundant biomass which they previously would dump in the open and leave it to rot -- or use as compost in their plantations. If left to decay in the open, the empty fruit bunches emit biogas containing methane, a greenhouse gas that causes greater harm than carbon dioxide, and is a potential fire hazard. Get price
