Asian Agri<\/a>, one of Asia\u2019s largest palm oil producers, opened its 7th biogas power plant at Tungkal Ulu in Indonesia\u2019s Jambi province, demonstrating its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, generate clean energy, as well as contribute to the community.<\/p>\n

Biogas power plants are capable of processing Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) \u2013 a by-product from the processing of crude palm oil<\/a> \u2013 in a digester tank, which is then generated into electricity.<\/p>\n

Each biogas power plant is capable of generating 2.2 megawatts (MW) of power, of which 700 watts (W) are used to power the company\u2019s mills. The remaining 1.5 MW of electricity is sold to the local electrical grid, powering many households in the company\u2019s surrounding communities.<\/p>\n

Asian Agri\u2019s environmentally-friendly biogas power plants achieve a 60 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to\u00a0conventional practices of treating POME in an open system which results in methane being released into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ignatius Jonan, and other government officials were present to at the plant’s opening. Commending Asian Agri, the minister said \u201cWe hope that in the future, every crude palm oil mill will also have a power plant like this,\u201d Ignatius said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Asian Agri Head of Operations Bukit Sanjaya said, \u201cAsian Agri\u2019s support through the creation of renewable energy represents real commitment towards environmental sustainability and energy security, which is one of the Indonesian government\u2019s focus areas via the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company supports the Indonesian government\u2019s commitment to achieve a 23 per cent renewable energy rate in the country by 2025, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> of producing affordable clean energy (Goal 7<\/a>) and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (Goal 13 on climate action<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Asian Agri’s biogas plant in Ukui, Riau, Indonesia<\/p><\/div>\n

Asian Agri has been operating biogas power plants in North Sumatra, Jambi and Riau since 2015, in line with its\u00a0zero-waste management policy<\/a>. The company aims to build a total of 20 biogas power plants<\/a> by 2020.<\/p>\n

Last year, the company\u2019s biogas power plants were recognized at the Anugerah Energy Lestari Awards 2017<\/a>, as well as at the Indonesia CSR Awards 2017<\/a>, where the company received the highest-ranking Platinum Award in one category.<\/p>\n

Established in 1979, Asian Agri has an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of crude palm oil.\u00a0Of its 160,000 hectares of palm oil plantations, 60,000 are developed under the Plasma scheme, a national level project supporting smallholders. Asian Agri partners with more than 30,000 smallholder families<\/a> as well as independent smallholders, bringing about positive impact<\/a> on their quality of life and economic development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
