It is known that only 20% of the biomass in oil palm trees is utilized. We foresee huge potential for commercial application of the remaining 80% deemed as "wastes". Thus, we are pioneering a fully integrated bio-integration complex, with biomass power plant, biogas power plant and palm pulp and paper plant.

It has been projected that by the middle of the 21st century, the world population will double with the economic output for the world also increasing by eight times (source: Renewable Energy. Sources for Fuels and Electricity; Earthscan Publications Ltd, London 1993).

Invariably, the demand for energy will definitely continue to grow in tandem with continuous and consistent efforts to increase energy efficiency. Oil will continue to remain the world's main energy source, however, renewable energy is expected to take over from nuclear power, which will decline by year 2020 (source: Renewable Energy - Resources and Application in Malaysia; PTM 2000).

Benefits of biomass and biogas energy are as follows:
Sustainability of energy supply as the energy resources are renewable in nature unlike fossil fuel.
Environmental friendly. Bioenergy will help to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and other gases (nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide etc) generated by fossil fuel.
Pollution control. By converting agro industrial wastes into usable form of energy i.e. electricity, steam and biogas instead of burning them which will contribute to air pollution.

Untill now, the palm industry itself faced a big problem in coping with such massive amount of bio waste. In future, it will become a bigger problem with more planting and more areas coming into maturity. EkoPaper is one of the solutions.

Benefits of EkoPaper are as follows:

Solution to bio waste problem. EkoPaper provides end solution and handsome additional revenue to the country.
Value added factor. EkoPaper provides the value added factor many times more as compared to mulching.
"The economic value of 1 tonne of EFB as mulch is low, but as a raw material for paper making, the return is more than 10 times" (source: 6th National Seminar on Palm Oil tree utilisation, Empty Fruit Bunches, Dec 2003)
