The energetic potential of rice straw sugarcane leaves and palm oil frond is very high compared to other types of biomass PJ PJ and PJ respectively however the utilization of these residues as a renewable source for energy production has hardly been found. Rice straw is normally used for animal fodder soil cover material and paper industry while palm oil frond is also served as soil cover material. Sugarcane leave is normally left in field and burnt. Currently only rice husk bagasse and palm oil shell are widely used as feedstock in stand-alone or cofiring power plant for heat and power production Papong et al. 2004 Prasertsan Sajjakulnukit 2006 . Not only for heat and power production rice husk bagasse and palm oil shell can be used in several industries . animal fodder and paper industry. Despite there are a large quantity of sugarcane leave and cassava rhizome their heating value is very low compared to other biomass. This study will not focus on such biomass. Although the quantity of Palm Oil Empty Fruit Bunch PEFB available is in the sixth rank of all biomass the energetic quality is high due to its high heating value and it is not yet mainly used as alternative fuel due to its high moisture and volatile matter with low ash melting temperature therefore the scope of this study focuses on renewable energy utilization from PEFB. 2. Utilization of palm oil empty fruit bunch The main content of this following section deals with the utilization of palm oil empty fruit bunch as renewable energy. However this section will provide an important information about palm oil and its plantation as well as a brief discussion about its utilization for non-energetic purposes prior to go deeply in more detail of its utilization for energetic purposes. Oil .
