The document discusses Clean Development Biogas Processing (CDBPTM) using oil palm fronds as a renewable energy source in Malaysia. It summarizes that CDBPTM is a cost-effective process using enzymes and simplified processing to convert oil palm fronds into biogas through a continuous stirred tank reactor. The technology has the potential to generate renewable energy and income while reducing greenhouse gas emissions for Malaysia and Indonesia.

5. Gas Already a Major Energy Source
The possibility to replace natural gas is a major driver for biogas production in the long term.
Gas provides a large part of energy consumed globally, e.g. around quarter
of the entire energy consumption in Europe and in the USA (Sources:

6. Why Oil Palm Fronds (OPF) to Biogas?
OPF to Biogas have tremendous Estimated Malaysia palm estate:
green energy potential
It is estimated Malaysia has
66.5mil tonnes of Oil palm fronds
(OPF) [MPOB-2007]
A OPF to Biogas program could
contribute RM8 billion per year
to the Growth of Malaysian
Economy [Novozymes]

Potential 98% Market Opportunity
There are approximately 350 Oil Mills in Malaysia and
450 Mills in Indonesia (x60 tons per hour / equivalent)

8. Why Oil Palm Fronds (OPF) to Biogas? (Cont’d)
OPF to Biogas Gives Higher IRR
By utilizing the Oil palm Fronds (OPF) as Feed Materials into
the Biogas Plant digesters -- capacity utilization of the Biogas
Plants will increase from 70% to 100%, increasing the IRR
from 15% up to 25-30% including the Carbon Credits being
generated in the process

“We are willing to offer our commitment, I am not
just going to call on the developed world, I am
going to commit Malaysia to very credible cuts
which means we have to spend, which we will do,”
- PM Malaysia at Copenhagen Climate Change Summit
The Prime Minster of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, delivered Malaysia's proposal to reduce its CO2 emission's to 40
per cent by the year 2020 compared with its 2005 levels. Copenhagen, Denmark. 17/12/2009.
Eliminate CO2 emission:
the emission of 14 million tons CO2
annually in Malaysia, and 18 million
tons CO2 annually in Indonesia
Total Carbon Emission for
Asia and Oceania since Kyoto

High job creation
“Enhanced utilisation of Renewable Energy (RE)
resources can led to the creation of new job
opportunities. Experts estimate at least 52,000 jobs
can be created from the construction, operation and
maintenance of renewable energy plants by 2020.”

11. Why Oil Palm Fronds to Biogas? (Cont’d)
Palm oil wastewater treatment
The Oil palm Effluent Ponds are located next to
the oil mills, through treating the effluent water –
the POME – in the Biogas Plants will reduce the
COD – BOD content from 50-60,000 parts per
million (PPM) to only 5-7000 (PPM), which
thereafter can be easily treated by a relatively
small water Treatment Plant at the end of the
overall process, after which clean water can be
reused and/or emitted into the rivers – seas.
[thus standards set by the Malaysian and
Indonesian Governments can be easily complied]

A proprietary method for pre-processing biomass into
producing biogas for boosting biogas process efficiency
Significant relationships with enzyme supplier, who are working
with us to determine most efficient enzymes for breaking down
the oil palm fronds fibers through the steam explosion and
hydrolysis process, and from there convert to biogas
Working closely with our engineering consultant – GWE to develop
full plant specifications with the most cost efficient Biogas plants
(GWE is a world market leader in anaerobic waste water treatment)

25. Our Business Model
CGD offers to bring a unique combination of hardware and software to your site and set up
efficient, state of the art biogas production.
We offer two business models – both aimed at improving the profitability and environmental
profile of your business. Either we will invest, operate and own the biogas production,
possibly together with the site owner (e.g. a wastewater treatment plant owner). This is
what we mainly do, because it allows us to optimize and develop the production over time.
Our activities include:
Process optimization
Functional delivery
Installation and mechanical upgrade
Gas cleaning
Alternatively, we can offer a license package. This means that our client will own the
production but we will offer our technology and expertise:
Basic and detailed project planning
Equipment delivery
Functional delivery
Start-up assistance
Site supervision
Long service & maintenance contracts
