Theme: “Comparative Study on the Use of Oil Palm Empty Fruits Bunch in Indonesia and its Utilization as Biomass Fuel for Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction in Japan”.

Content: In this study, we verified how to utilize oil palm empty fruits bunch generated in palm oil production in Indonesia to contribute to the mitigation of global warming. The results showed that if appropriate efforts are made to reduce emissions, importing palm oil empty fruits bunch to Japan and using it as fuel for power generation would be effective for greenhouse gas reduction.
