Malaysia is the world's largest producer and exporter of palm oil. The palm oil biomass contributes more than 65 % of the total available biomass potential in Malaysia. Only 5.4 percent of this potential is used to generate electricity while the other huge amount of process wastes bring about tremendous disposal and environmental problems. The amount of electrical power obtainable from biomass generated palm oil mill which includes empty fruit bunches, fibers, fruit shells and the waste effluent is quite substantial. This paper describes the case studies of techno-economic issues of effective utilization of biomass energy at Rantau Oil Palm Mill located in Rantau, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Efforts have been made to maximize utilization of the energy resources of palm oil mill to improve the overall production efficiency. Studies have been made to select the most suitable cogeneration system for the effective utilization of the biomass energy.
