Palm oil is a widely used commodity globally, not only as a cooking oil but also as a crucial ingredient in the production of oleochemicals and biodiesel. The entire manufacturing process, encompassing extraction, refining, oleochemical production, and biofuel manufacturing, is highly steam energy intensive.
On an average steam accounts for about 50% of the utility costs in such plants. Fuel prices have surged 50-60% in recent times, and are continuing to rise. However, market prices for palm oil have not kept pace, and this places significant financial strain on these plants. Moreover, due to environmental and social concerns, the industry is also compelled to adopt more sustainable manufacturing practices.
