Abstract

Today, facing difficult environmental and sustainability questions, the palm oil industry is an important force in global trade and development. As a transformative solution to these problems, this review assesses the implementation of circular economy (CE) strategies. CE principles promote the transformation of waste into value through recycling, upcycling and other low-carbon innovation applications. This review estimates the capability of palm-based biomass, including palm oil mill effluent (POME) and refinery wastes. It evaluates how different technologies such as gasification are used to change these fuel sources into energy fuels and value-added products for industry. It also involves incorporating Industry 4.0 to boost efficiency and waste value creation into the operation. Although the potential of CE in creating an eco-friendly, profitable palm oil industry is apparent, nevertheless it must overcome all kinds and levels of barriers – from economic to technological to social. This review points out for collaborative efforts, technological advancement, and supportive policies to navigate these challenges, advocating for a unified shift towards sustainability and efficiency in the palm oil sector.

棕榈油行业的循环经济方法：通过减少废物和产品多样化提高盈利能力

如今，面对棘手的环境和可持续性问题，棕榈油产业已成为全球贸易和发展的重要力量。作为解决这些问题的转型方案，本报告评估了循环经济（CE）战略的实施情况。循环经济原则提倡通过回收、再循环和其他低碳创新应用，将废物转化为价值。本综述评估了棕榈基生物质的能力，包括棕榈油厂污水（POME）和精炼厂废物。它评估了如何利用气化等不同技术将这些燃料来源转化为能源燃料和工业增值产品。它还涉及将工业 4.0 纳入运营，以提高效率并创造废物价值。尽管行政首长协调会在创建生态友好、有利可图的棕榈油产业方面的潜力显而易见，但它必须克服从经济、技术到社会等各方面和各层次的障碍。本综述指出，应通过合作努力、技术进步和支持政策来应对这些挑战，倡导棕榈油行业向可持续发展和高效率统一转变。
