Energeticos Jaremar – Biogas recovery from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) ponds, and heat & electricity generation, Honduras

1

Jaremar Honduras project involves the covering of two open anaerobic lagoons for the treatment of palm oil mill effluent (POME) at Agrotor’s palm oil mill located in Honduras. The recovered biogas is utilised on site for the production of heat and electricity. The project reduces greenhouse gas emissions in three ways: (1) by preventing methane emission resulting from the anaerobic conversion of the POME, to the atmosphere by biogas capture, (2) by replacing residual fuel oil (bunker) with biogas and (3) by replacing electricity consumption from the grid with electricity generated from biogas.
