Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) pellet refers to a compressed form of the fibrous residue derived from oil palm fruits. As an environmentally friendly and renewable biomass fuel, EFB pellets offer numerous advantages. Produced from the abundant agricultural byproduct of the palm oil industry, EFB pellets serve as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. These pellets are rich in cellulose and have a low moisture content, making them highly efficient for combustion. EFB pellets are widely utilized in biomass power plants as a source of renewable energy, where they are combusted to generate heat and electricity. Additionally, EFB pellets are utilized in industrial boilers, providing a clean and efficient fuel source for various manufacturing processes. The production and utilization of EFB pellets contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate climate change. Furthermore, by converting waste into a valuable energy resource, EFB pellets support the circular economy and promote sustainable practices within the palm oil industry.
