Palm oil is a kind of consumable vegetable oil and high in soaked that is from the palm natural product, developed on the African oil palm tree. Oil palms are initially from Western Africa, yet can withstand wherever warmth and precipitation are plentiful. Today, palm oil is refined all through Africa, Asia, North America, and South America, with 85% of all palm oil universally delivered and sent out from Indonesia and Malaysia; however more often than not utilizing supportable measures (Palm oil Project 2010). The uses of palm oil primarily for cooking mostly in develop country and it also used to produce products such as soap, detergent, shampoo, cosmetics. First and foremost, palm oil was introduce by west African that attract English merchants …show more content…
At early 2000 most of the oil palm plantations were controlled by the state capital for them to utilize the profit for development. Then the government realizes that palm-oil industries have advantage in bio-fuel and can improve for the country economy sector. Palm oil creates new market demand where the comodity prices were firming up. This would help to decrease the risk for the prices falling to a low level during the time where there was a surplus bank in 2001. Palm oil industries also help the economic growth of a country because it helps the rural places society to generate their income. It is also reduce the rate of unemployment because this sector offers variety of jobs and field to join. After years research and development of palm oil, they have found that there are many advantage using palm oil as the bio-fuel. One of the advantage is the combustion of pal oil bio-fuel does not rise the level of carbon dioxide on the atmosphere as the oil is merely returning the carbon dioxide obtained earlier from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. After that, the scientist suggested that using bio-fuel for burning is much better instead using fossil fuel because fossil fuel is green house gas that decrease the ozone layer …show more content…
It is the maximum number of acres that a person can actually do based on the strength and morals. Malaysia is facing lack of workers in palm oil industry. So they using foreign worker from Indonesia to work in that kind of sector because they are seen harder working in plantations. Besides, salary is one of the factors why they prefer work in Malaysia than in their country. Then, the workers have their own rights wherever they want to work as long as they follow the rules and regulation for foreign worker work in Malaysia. Furthermore, the Indonesian worker came to Malaysia is based on their self interest. There are looking for social benefits for their family, well being and so on. However, some of the Indonesian worker are not interested to work in plantation anymore. The private and public companies are currently facing the lack of workers as a result planters lose up to 5-10 percent of their fruit each year due to labour shortages, cutting Malaysia’s total export revenues by about 2.5 billion ringgit ($766 million) annually. (Anuradha Raghu 2014). Moreover, there is now set a guideline for palm oil companies to use when implementing their commitments to address the deforestation associated with this operation. As demand for the palm oil skyrocketed in recent years, they have many practical approach for the companies to follow to have a sustainable oil palm industries.
I will talk about these different sources and what processes are used to extract the oils from the source. When oils are extracted from plants there are different ways that they can be extracted from the pant this is mainly due to where the plants have been grown, the climate that they have been grown in and it can also depend on the soil that is used when the plant was planted. It is even said that when a plant is harvest and way it was harvested can depend on how they will then choose what extraction method will be used. To ensure that you are going to get the best quality from the source. It is extremely important that you get the most natural biochemistry of the plant, as it will then mean that you are going to the best oils sourced. There any many different ways of sourcing essential oils. One of the ways that we extract an oil can be through Solvent extraction. This is when a solvent called hydrocarbon is used to dissolve the essential oils from the plant. This Is done by adding the solvent to the plant. The dissolved essential oil is then distiller by filtering and concentrating the oil, until you have a combination of resin, wax and essential oil this is know as the concentrate. Pure alcohol is then added to the concentrate which will eventually evaporate and leave behind the oil. Steam distillation is
The economic and technological development since the twentieth century has been fuelled mainly by oil, just as the early industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has been fuelled by coal. ...
Introduction:The idea of biofuels is a old concept, reaching as far as the ending of the 19th century. Solid in its idea but flawed in its presentation. Biofuels are a alternative energy to fossil fuels that are made from natural methods such as plants and crops and are key in solving the apparent flaws of fossil fuels. While fossil fuels have been in use for over a century, Biofuels have now risen to the popularity and been exposed to the press. At one point of time biofuel were being considered by some of the most brilliant minds ever in human history such as Henry Ford and Rudolph Diesel who believed that biofuels had the potential to be the new evolution s on only to reappear a century later. Now the world faces the struggles of global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels slowly dimming by day. Throughout the last century biofuels have proven to have a place in our society as a new alternative fuel source. Specializing in Being Natural and healthier than fossil fuels, biofuels have had a rough beginning against its competitor due to key situations such as pricing, Side effects, to fuel power. However the idea was passed on a to the later generations, and continued to pasand prolong usage. However through the last decade they have been highly advertised by politicians and Government officials claiming it to be the future of a powerful working society, and to help in making a new energy free world. Through belief Some even claiming that “By 2050, a new generation of sustainable biofuels could provide over a quarter of the world’s total transport fuel, according to a recent report by the International Energy Agency” (last name). With such improvement biofuels should be the obvious answer to providing a better future to th...
Biodiesel is considered an environmentally friendly alternative because it reduces the amount many toxic substances. Plants such as soybeans require carbon dioxide from the air to produce their stems, roots and leaves. During biodiesel production from soybean oil, carbon dioxide is produced and released in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is considered a green house gas (GHG). However, this cycle of GHG emission does not neccersarily contribute to the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This is because the next soybean crop will reuse the carbon dioxide emitted for its growth. Another important environmental benefit is that biodiesel reduces particulate matter (PM), hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. These benefits occur because biodiesel contains 11% oxygen by weight. Oxygen allows the fuel to burn better, resulting in fewer emissions from unburned fuel. And lastly, biodiesel fuels do not contain any sulfur and does not have an unpleasant smell when it is emitted from vehicles.
When British explorer Captain James Cook arrived on Polynesian islands in the Pacific Ocean, he and his sailors were amazed by the healthy and beautiful views of the local population.
While the new industries have had a positive impact on the economies, it did not help the environment. Before the Revolutions, people relied on charcoal, but trees were scarce and took v...
Cosmetics, soap, chocolate, and frozen meals. These general products all have something in common; they include palm oil, a resource found in oil palm trees located primarily in Indonesia and Malaysia. Palm oil is a valuable resource that is contained in many everyday products. However, the mass consumption of this ingredient caused wide deforestation in wildlife’s natural habitat and is leading to the endangerment of several animal species. Sustainable palm oil is grown and harvested by companies on private land to avoid deforestation and harm to wildlife, so people should consider purchasing products that include sustainable palm oil rather than palm oil taken from natural forests.
Over the past 200 years, mankind discovered the fossil fuels and they used this source to produce hug energy. This affects the environment in many negative ways and caused many issues worldwide such as urban air pollution and acid rain, oil spills and the high temperature of earth. Saudi Arabia has the biggest oil reserves in the world by 19.66% (the world factbook, 2011) and the second oil producer country in the world with roughly 10.121 million barrels a day – which account for 12% of the total world production of oil in 2010 (Fontinelle,2011). Moreover, the country relies heavily on oil industry. And the most successful companies in the country are thus whose work in oil industry such as ARAMCO Company. The reason behind this success is because most of these companies get financial support and attention from the Saudi government and sometimes the government owes these companies. Because of the massive reserve of oil and the high income that generated from oil, the country has less attention to seek for other sources of clean energy such as solar energy and wind energy which leads to the increase of air pollution in the country. However, oil is expected to last in the next 50 to 100 years (Hubbert, 1956). Furthermore, the International organizations have made many decisions to protect the environment and environmental resource such as Kyoto Protocol which decided to raise the use of solar energy to 50%of the total global energy use by 2020 (UNFCCC ,2005 ). Recently, these issues lead the Saudi government to realize problems, such as air pollutions, and start to invest in clean energy area but not as expected. These days many people in Saudi Arabia argue the uses of clean energy and replace with the fossil fuels. And they d...
The study’s methodology was qualitative. While the study recognizes that palm oil plantation increases deforestation and consequently reducing biodiversity, the authors argues that the demand for palm oil up to the year 2020 can be met without any reduction of forest cover through the improvement of yields and conservation of degraded land. In particular, the study notes that while palm oil plantation endangers orangutan’s habitat, the authors suggest that encroachment of orangutan’s habitat could be reduced by up to 30% through the use of sustainable land use initiatives and policies. Overall, the findings of this article suggest that is there is a need to advocate for an environmental sustainable biomass industry in Malaysia in order to protect the natural habitat for
From the 1900’s, the Industrial Revolution saw the large-scale use of fossil fuels for industrial activities. Therefore, they created many jobs for the people. And many people moved from rural areas to cities, making the excessive cutting down of trees so as to create an area for settlement and area of construction of industries. Natural resources are being used extensively for construction, industries, transport, and consumption. All this has contributed to the rises of greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. Where as the industries operated by man and the vehicles used imply the use of fossil fuels. And the burning of fossil fuels causes the production of these harmful gases that lead to the depletion of the ozone layer. As the ozone layer is depleted the increase of global temperature known as global warming.
The concept of this essay is to stress that biofuels are a viable and sustainable energy source than fossil fuels, showing its advantages but not ignoring its disadvantages which also enlightens us about the cleaner and renewable natural resources. Biofuels is an alternative source of energy which can end the global dependence on fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are energy that is in the form of coal, oil, or natural gas that comes from organisms from millions of years ago. The cycle to create fossil fuels takes millions of years to form and is therefore considered a nonrenewable resource of energy. Fossil fuels have been the primary source of energy for man ever since the age of machines, but one of “the main problem[s] with fossil fuels is that there is a limited amount of them” (Problem with Fossil Fuel). As countries become more developed, like the United States, they too will become more thirsty and dependent for fossil fuels. “In 2004, America spent approximately $270 billion to fufill its oil need.” and “90% of all transportation is fueled by oil” (Nakaya 10). With the global rate of fossil fuels going up it is inevitable that they are going to run out, forcing countries to choose an alternative energy source. The other huge problem with dependence on fossil fuels is the effect that the emissions have on the climate. Fossil fuels are made of carbon chains and in order for the reaction...
On the one hand, participatory approach to land use planning can provide openings for the decentralized administration of land management and enhance legal protection of local land rights through contributing to formal recognition of existing land tenure systems. According to Chigbu et al, (2015) four functions of land use planning that directly links to tenure security. (1) Its capacity to identify or determine land areas, parcels and uses and users. (2) Its propensity to enable documentation of land areas, parcels, rights, restrictions and responsibilities. (3) The opportunities it provides for stakeholder involvement, compensation of claims and community participation. (4) Its impact on land value, land markets and credit opportunities. On the other hand, land use planning, promoting sustainable natural resource use and environmental management are generally part of the mandate of local governments. And these prerogatives often tend to be weakly developed, both legally and with respect to capacity building and methodology (Hilhorst 2010). Unclear property rights and tenure insecurity are the major constraints to the potential of successful land use planning. According to UN-Habitat (2008, p. 17), poor land use planning associated with insecurity of tenure and incompletely specified land rights leads to problems of air and water-borne pollution from agricultural and industrial land use. Though there is a
The philosophy of agriculture to live harmony with nature is deeply rooted in ancient agriculture and still practiced in India, China and the Andes. Organic agriculture reflects this philosophy, but the recent history of concepts such as organic, bio dynamic, natural farming and other related concepts, can be traced back to early in the 20th century. Conventional agriculture differ from organic farming in terms of usage of chemical fertilizers which increase the nutrient of the soil, usage of genetically modified seeds for better crop production as well as the use of antibiotics and hormones in animal farming. In Malaysia, the major agriculture crop productions are rice, fruits and vegetables (including palm oil production). China is in the first ranking for agriculture sector followed by India and United States of America. Since organic farming is practiced by many countries, without further ado, let’s take a look on how it can affect the environment and its implementation.
