System analysis for effective use of biomass as energy resources ICSS-Asia, Nov. 23, Bangkok Sohei SHIMADA Graduate School of Frontier Sciences The University of Tokyo
BACKGROUND • Biomass: low energy density • Optimization of transportation is critical for “Biomass to Energy” project. • System analysis using GIS and optimization of economy (cost minimum) and environmental burden (CO2 emission minimum) is a strong tool for evaluating the project. • Optimal location and size of the power generation plants and biofuel producing plants obtained by the analysis • Examples of analysis; • Power generation using EFB (Empty Fruit Bunches) from palm in Selangor State, Malaysia • Cocodiesel production in Lucena City, Philippine • 3. RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) power generation in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
Case Study 1 Power generation using EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) from palm in Selangor State, Malaysia
Output of Palm Oil 7% Shell ≈ 4.3 million tonnes 13% Fiber ≈ 10.7 million tonnes 22% Empty fruit bunch (EFB) ≈ 17.4 million tonnes Total Fresh Fruit Bunch processed ≈79.3 million tonnes 67% Palm oil mill effluent (POME) ≈ 53.1 million tonnes 20% Crude palm oil (CPO) ≈ 15.9 million tonnes 3% Palm kernel oil (PKO) ≈ 2.0 million tonnes
Issues Fiber and Shell • Used as fuel to generate electricity to their own palm oil mill. However, the mills have excess energy. EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) • Problem of EFB supply chain for power generation • EFB is bulky and high moisture content → inefficiency combustion and difficulty on transportation and store. • Difficult decision for palm oil mill to commit themselves with certain EFB handling method since there are many uncertain markets for EFB based downstream products. →Resulting ‘wait and see’ situation. Effective use of palm oil wastes system is not yetestablished.

Distribution of Empty Fruit Bunch Peninsular Malaysia Selangor State Palm oil mill CHP 1 (6~10 MW) CHP 1: plant install at palm oil mill (CHP 2: Independent CHP plant)
Case Study 2 Cocodiesel production in Lucena City, Philippine
Cocodiesel: diesel oil produced from coconut Coconut is used for food and diesel oil Cocodiesel production and blending with the fossil fuel derived diesel
CO2 emission due to transportation is relatively small compared to the reduction due to the % blend increase: 0.18 – 0.34% difference Transportation Cost has a minimal effect as % blend increases: 0.02 – 0.05 ¥/L (Price increase per liter cocodiesel = ¥ 7 – 12) Additional cost increases as % blend increases: \51,000 (1%) – \4.4M (50%)
