3. BTT Mission




Enable clients to leverage the potential of torrefaction for the
production of second generation biofuels
Deliver a solution for clients that can turn any biomass into
valuable BioTorPellets
Contribute towards a green sustainable future, Cradle to Cradle
In our small pamphlet, more is explained about our BTT
company, what torrefaction is, how BioTorPellets are made, but
also a typical business case and project in the Netherlands.

So, lets focus directly on your biomass rich regions

4. Biomass availability
4

In Malaysia
= 160 mio ton/y

In Indonesia
= 171 mio ton/y
Total in region
= 331 mio ton/y….. LOTS
The biomass comes from different sectors
Forestry waste

=
7.9 mio ton (firewood, forest cleaning)
Agricultural waste = 77.3 mio ton (rice husk, cassava, corn cob)

Plantations waste = 72.7 mio ton (palm, coconut, rubber, bagasse)


Timber waste
= 13.4 mio ton (sawdust, shavings)
Total waste
= 171 mio ton/y
(for Indonesia 2006)

5. Palm Plantation products
5

In Malaysia
= 4.2 mio ha of Palm Plantations

In Indonesia
= 5.3 mio ha of Palm Plantations
Total in region
= 9.5 mio ha of Palm….. LOTS
Total Palm Oil Mill products and wastes of 9.5 mio ha per year

FreshFruitBunch (FFB)
=
190.7 mio ton/y

CrudePalmOil (CPO)
=
35.2 mio ton/y

EmptyFruitBunch (EFB)
=
43.9 mio ton/y

Shells & Fibers (PKS+MF)
=
36.2 mio ton/y (boiler fuel)

PalmOilMillEffluent (POME)
=
5.6 mio ton/y (dry weight)
Total PalmMill waste
= 50 mio ton/y (Malaysia+Indonesia)

6. Typical Palm Oil Mill of
30 tph FreshFruitBunch
6
In Malaysia are about
# 321 Palm Oil Mills
 In Indonesia are about # 405 Palm Oil Mills

Total POM in region
= 726 Palm Oil Mills….. LOTS
One typical 30tph POM generates:
 50,000 ton PKS+MF (used for steam
and power generation of the palm oil mill )

150,000 ton POME (wet effluent)
But WHAT to do with
 60,450
ton EFB/year (7 tph) ?

7. What to do with your
7 tph EmptyFruitBunch ?
7
Add a 2,5 tph BioTorPellet plant (20,000 tpy)
 Make MONEY with your EFB waste !

Recycle the generated nutrients locally (N,P,K,Si,Cl etc)
 Create new sustainable jobs and more business


Process also other biomass sources (rice husk, bagasse)
Trade CO2 credits via Joint Implementation or Clean
Development Mechanism
