The company, in collaboration with US-based Frontier Bio-fraction LLC, has been carrying out an indepth research over the past several years on the latter’s “vertrolysis process” which converts palm oil wastes and biomass by-products into bio-fuel.bio-char and bio-gas. A pilot plant is now in operation in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
“The research findings are very promising. The study is now in its final stage of evaluation, which include the setting up of a pilot plant in Malaysia by adopting the same Amercian technology process to local manufacturing,environmental and regulatory requirements.
“A pilot plant is expected to be established either in Sabah or Johore in the next six months,” Teo told Sarawak Metro.
He expects the plant to start with producing bio-charcoal as burning fuel before going into production of other products.
