This study performed an assessment on the beneficial of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) application on waste treatment system in a local palm oil industry in Malaysia. Life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to assess the environmental impacts of the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction from the CDM application. Calculations on the emission reduction used the methodology based on AM002 (Avoided Wastewater and On-site Energy Use Emissions in the Industrial Sector) Version 4 published by United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC). The results from the studies showed that the introduction of CDM in the palm oil mill through conversion of the captured biogas from palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment into power generation were able to reduce approximate 0.12 tonnes CO2 equivalent concentration (tCO2e) emission and 30 kW x hr power generation per 1 tonne of fresh fruit bunch processed. Thus, the application of CDM methodology on palm oil mill wastewater treatment was able to reduce up to 1/4 of the overall environment impact generated in palm oil mill.
本研究评估了清洁发展机制（CDM）在马来西亚当地棕榈油产业废物处理系统中的应用效益。生命周期评估（LCA）用于评估 CDM 应用减少温室气体（GHG）的环境影响。减排计算采用联合国气候变化框架公约（UNFCCC）发布的 AM002（工业部门避免废水和现场能源使用排放）第 4 版方法。研究结果表明，通过将棕榈油厂废水中捕获的沼气转化为发电，在棕榈油厂引入 CDM，可减少约 0.12 吨二氧化碳当量浓度（tCO2e）排放和每处理 1 吨新鲜果串发电 30 千瓦小时。因此，CDM 方法在棕榈油厂废水处理中的应用可减少棕榈油厂产生的整体环境影响的 1/4 左右。
