The biomass energy has advantages, such as low-cost production, friendly electricity supply, no damage to the ecosystem, and efficient. Base on the advantage, we have focus research discusses the energy of the palm oil factory and waste fruit bunches. The kernel bark from palm oil to be the biomass energy source, and then to fill the shortage of electrical energy sources. The Biomass uses a combustion process to produces hot steam, so it drives the steam turbine and generates electrical energy. The fresh fruit bunches and palm kernel shells are resized and the water content made dried in the biomass is reduced. Furthermore, the biomass is fed into the boiler and produces electrical energy for generates a power unit. The energy produced varies depending on the size of the biomass and the biomass drying process. The deficiency of electrical energy can be added from biomass energy to supply electrical energy.
