It starts off with the emphasis on oil palm production, oil palm products recovery and oil palm wastes utilization. The simultaneous production of these bio-products for sustainable development is discussed. This is followed by the key factors defining the sustainability of biofuel and bio-product production from oil palm biomass. The environmental issues including ecological, life cycle assessment and environmental impact assessment of oil palm plantation, milling and refining for the production of biofuels and bio-products are presented. Socio-economic and thermodynamic analysis of the production processes are also evaluated using various sustainability assessment tools such as exergy. Lastly, methods of improving biofuel production systems for sustainable development are highlighted. 410 0$aGreen energy and technology. 606 $aBiomass energy 606 $aOil palm 615 0$aBiomass energy. 615 0$aOil palm. 676 $a333.79 701 $aLee$b Keat Teong$0904008 701 $aOfori-Boateng$b Cynthia$01750198 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437778503321 996 $aSustainability of biofuel production from oil palm biomass$94184772 997 $aUNINA
