Type: book

Abstract: Palm oil production for oil and biomass: the solution for sustainable oil production and certifiably sustainable biomass production?In the bio-based economy the availability of biomass as feedstock for energy and products will partly depend on the residues from the agro-food chain.In this paper the concept of increasing the sustainability of the palm oil value chain will be elaborated with the aim to produce a certifiable sustainable biomass.It is shown that a combined utilisation of both the appreciated edible oil and biomass residues will result in a more sustainable value chain.This means that it should be environmentally sound, economically viable and socially acceptable.
