The trunks of felled palm trees are arranged in stacks at a demonstration plant in Kluang, a town in southern Malaysia. The trunks, when fed into a machine, are reduced to heaps of moist, amber fiber within seconds.<\/p>\n<p>The palm trees are easy to mulch because their elevated water content softens the wood. The fibers are later washed, dried and converted into small, cylindrical fuel pellets. The plant also makes use of the liquid wrung out of fibers after they are washed. The liquid contains sap that is recycled into pellets. Palm trees are 70% to 80% water, meaning they yield large quantities of sap. Because palm sap has sugar content, it can be recycled into fertilizer or sustainable aviation fuel, the plant&#8217;s representatives say.<\/p>\n<p>Palm oil, used in various food products and daily necessities, is the world&#8217;s most heavily consumed vegetable-derived oil. Indonesia and Malaysia produce about 80% of the global volume. But the expansion of palm groves has been blamed for the destruction of forests. Turning palm oil production into an environmentally sustainable industry has become a pressing issue. A palm tree decreases its yield after 25 years or so, necessitating replanting. When old palm trees are felled, they are usually left to decompose under the belief that they would fertilize the soil. Palm waste also can be recycled into material for making furniture. Panasonic Holdings subsidiary Panasonic Housing Solutions has developed a production process for making wooden boards out of dead palm trunks.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/asia.nikkei.com\/Spotlight\/Environment\/Malaysia-and-Japan-test-recycling-dead-palm-trees-into-biofuel\">Nikkei Asia<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-518\/\">Malaysia and Japan test recycling dead palm trees into biofuel<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2364,575,893,6752,14385],"class_list":["post-130143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-biofuel","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-japan","tag-malaysia","tag-palm-tree"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
