Malaysia To Produce Bioethanol From Sago Palm
Bernama - Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia
KOTA SAMARAHAN, July 3 (Bernama) -- Malaysia will become the first country in the Southeast Asian region to produce bioethanol from sago palm startingearly early next year.

Prof Dr Kopli Bujang from the Faculty of Resource Science and Technology of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), who led the research on bioethanol as an environmentally-friendly alternative source of energy to petroleum, said that sago-based bioethanol was expected to be in the market by February next year.

"The bioethanol plant in Unimas is expected to start operating in December this year," he told reporters after a groundbreaking ceremony of the bioethanol plant by Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Fadillah Yusof here today.

Kopli said that besides being environmentally-friendly, the bioethanol product based on sago, to be named E18, would not require any modification to the engine or carburettor to use it.

"E18 is more like an additive to petroleum," he said, adding that the product had already attracted enquiries from several Japanese entrepreneurs.

He said that the Unimas bioethanol plant was capable of producing 1,000 litres of the product daily.

Based on previous experiments, he said, some five to seven tonnes of sugar could be produced from 10 to 12 tonnes of sago, which were often collected from sago entrepreneurs in Sarawak.

"The five to seven tonnes of sugar can produce bioethanol that are now sold between US$400 (RM1,410) to US$700 (RM2,467) a tonne at the international market," he said.

Meanwhile, Fadillah said that the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry has agreed to award an RM11.6 million grant from its Techno Fund to the plant.

He said after the bioethanol project, Unimas would execute a follow-up project to produce biodiesel from sago wastewater.

Sago palmen kan leverera upp till 200 kg stärkelse per styck.

Och tydligen är tanken att man ska använda avfalsrester av sagopalmens matproduktion, i stället för att dumpa det i floden och ursaka syrebrist i vattnet, vilket ju låter som en ännu smartare ide!

Citat:
Science, Technology and Innovation Deputy Minister Fadillah Yusof said yesterday E18 would not only benefit motorists, but rural folk who depended on fuel-run power generators.

“The pilot plant for bioethanol from sago at Unimas will be completed by the end of the year and we expect production of one tonne of ethanol daily by early next year between January and February,” he told reporters after performing the earth-breaking ceremony for the plant.

He hoped that in the future a mobile plant could be developed to produce bioethanol for rural usage.

“Our rural community still depends heavily on energy from fuel-run generators and to transport fuel to remote areas is very expensive,” he added.

Fadillah who heads the ministry’s task force for Alternative Energy and Food Security said biofuel like E18 was a promising green energy in the light of the current global energy shortage.

He said E18 production would not disrupt food production because the pilot plant was using solid sago waste, particularly hydrolysed sago fibres as the main feedstock.

The plant is designed to generate 1,000 litres of ethanol per day from about 1,300 kg of sago starch (from sago waste) by adapting the Ishizaki Process.

The ministry is awarding its Techno-Fund amounting to RM11.6 million to the project.

The design of the pilot plant is based on an earlier blue-print from principal researcher Professor Dr Kopli Bujang of Unimas and his research collaborator Professor Emeritus Dr Ayaaki Ishizaki of the New Century Fermentation Research (NECFER) based in Kurume, Japan.

The pilot plant is designed and to be developed as a turn-key project, complete with facilities for hydrolysis of starch and cellulose into sugar, fermentation process and downstream processing for distillation and dehydration of the ethanol produced.

Water generated from the distillation stage can be recycled for use in starch hydrolysis.

In explaining this further, Kopli said current development had shown promising results of about 50 to 60 per cent recovery of sugar from sago waste.

“E18 is an additive for fuel at 18 per cent and therefore, we don’t have to change the engines of vehicles like the spark plugs and carburettor.

“Such plan has been implemented in Asia, although using different substrate for bioethanol in Thailand, the Philippines and Japan,” he said.

In Brazil, he said bioethanol was fully used as fuel in vehicles and it required some modifications on the engines.

Kopli said the pilot plant would be getting its sago waste supply from Pusa and Mukah.

“Instead of dumping the waste into rivers, we’ll turn it into bioethanol,” he said, adding that currently bioethanol was priced between US$400 and US$700 per tonne.

“We’ve some enquiries from Japanese companies that are interested to buy our raw ethanol,” he added.

Earlier in his speech, Fadillah said the government was committed in developing alternative energy to complement and replace non-renewable sources of energy, and one being turning waste into energy or using biomass.

“We will not use food for energy production because it will disrupt our food supply,” he said.

Citing an example, he said a company in Semenyih, Selangor produced energy for its factory consumption from municipal waste.

“An excess of five megawatt is sold to Tenaga Nasional Berhad,” he said.

Fadillah said with experts estimating that fossil fuel would only last for another 30 to 40 years, it was pivotal to explore alternative and green energy to sustain the ever increasing demand for energy.

It would contribute greatly towards a sustainable environment and well-being of the people at the end of the day, he added.

Planerna har pågått ett tag:
Citat:
Japan-based Necfer Corp. (New Century Fermentation Research Ltd.) plans to build a demonstration plant in Malaysia to manufacture bioethanol from sago palm trees — possibly the first such endeavor in the world. Sago is a highly efficient energy crop, producing large amounts of starch and yielding more ethanol per hectare than any other currently grown biofuel crop. Necfer has developed its own dedicated fermentation technology to convert the resource into biofuel
