What is your view on Palm Oil as an alternative energy resource?

Sep 22, 2007 by bada_bing2k4 | Posted in Green Living

Oil Palm plantations are growing at rapid rates in the tropical nations of Indonesia and Malaysia. These lands were once covered by upwards to 90% rain forest just a century ago, while that has declined presently to less than 50%. This is due largely

I don't think using straight Palm Oil as an alternative energy resource is a good idea. I do think, however, that using Palm Oil biowaste from these mills would be a better alternative energy source that would help to elliviate potential groundwater

Palm oil may test resistance

22.05.12

Palm oil futures on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange ended higher on Friday due to concerns that heavy rainfall in growing areas of Malaysia could cause supply disruption. This was despite a weakening euro, which normally dents sentiment in commodities. Production in Malaysia is in the seasonally low-yield phase and heavy rains that threaten to disrupt production may add pressure to tightening stocks. US data on Thursday pointed to positive trends for the world's biggest economy and helped allay concerns on slowing growth. Energy prices were supported by signs of an improving US economy and Iran's threats to halt oil flow through a vital trade route.

Crude palm oil (CPO) futures are moving perfectly in line with our expectations. As mentioned in the previous update, hopes of a retest of the recent highs look likely, taking prices higher back into the MYR3,100-a-tonne zone or even higher to MYR3,185-3,200 a tonne, followed by MYR3,215-3,225 a tonne levels. Besides, the indicators have turned bullish again. A break above key trend line resistance at MYR3,199-3,200 a tonne could drive prices higher towards MYR3,275 a tonne initially and subsequently towards MYR3,350 a tonne levels in the coming sessions. A fall below MYR3,135 could postpone the bullishness and prices could correct even lower towards MYR3,115 a tonne levels.

With crude Palm Oil trading this week in Kuala Lumpur at about M$3,500 (US$1,150) a ton, the Plantation Groups are making at least M$2,000 a ton more than their costs of production. Singapore listed Golden Agri-Resources (SES:E5H), Indonesia’s biggest Palm Oil producer, has just announced a 147% rise in net profit to US$1. Blocked by the Green movement and devoid of pricing power, the Palm Oil business has 1 thing going for it, and that is the prospects of the liquid Gold it extracts from millions of short Green trees....
