Gasification of Oil Palm Biomass to Produce Syngas for Electricity Generation – Cost Benefit Analysis

Abstract:

Fossil fuel burning for energy production creates two major issues: the global warming effect and the weak energy security. These problems can be minimized by utilizing renewable energy sources such as biomass. In order to assess the potential contribution of these technologies to the future energy security and sustainable development, a thorough evaluation of gasification technology towards economic aspects is required. This study aims to determine whether the syngas production from EFB gasification for electricity generation is viable in terms of cost-benefit analysis by evaluating the economic aspects of these technologies.
