Life cycle GHG emissions from Malaysian oil palm bioenergy development: the impact on transportation sector's energy security.

摘要: Abstract Malaysia's transportation sector accounts for 41% of the country's total energy use. The country is expected to become a net oil importer by year 2011. To encourage renewable development and relieve emerging dependence, in 2006 government mandated blending 5% palm-oil biodiesel petroleum diesel. Malaysia produced 16 million tonnes palm 2007, mainly food This paper addresses maximizing bioenergy use from oil-palm support initiative while minimizing greenhouse-gas emissions land-use change. When converting primary secondary forests plantations between 270–530 120–190 g CO2-equivalent per MJ produced, respectively, released. However, degraded lands results capture 23 85 g produced. Using various combinations land types, could meet target with GHG savings about 1.03 (4.9% sector's diesel emissions) when accounting fuel displaced. These findings are used recommend policies mitigating impacts growth sector.
