Different businesses have quite different energy use profiles

and scale. For example, our

Plantation Division

is by far the

biggest user of energy in the Group with diesel consumption

topping the list. Recognising that one size does not fit all, the

Group’s Engineering team has been, and continues to identify,

test and refine methods and look for opportunities however

small the scale, to reduce the Group’s energy usage. During the

year, Ladang Cendana had successfully installed solar panels

to generate power supply to their workers quarters and office

complex. To-date, there has been a satisfactory reduction in the

estate’s electricity consumption from the national grid, with an

average 605.23 kWh saved per month, thus reducing the estate’s

average CO

2

e emissions by 0.79 tonnes

. This is equivalent to 1,709

kilometre driven by an average passenger car

Improving our energy efficiency not only reduces the use of

natural resources and emissions of CO₂ and other pollutants but

also potentially lowers costs.

Since 2011, all biomass residue from our palm oil mill in Indonesia

is either converted into fertiliser/compost or clean energy. In

the case of the latter, mesocarp fibre, palm shell and shredded

EFB are utilised as feedstock for the steam boiler and the steam

generated from there will then fuel the steam turbine in the

cogeneration plant. The impact of the utilisation of biomass as

renewable energy has been significant. 86.4% of the electricity

and heat energy generated from the cogeneration plant is used

to power the oil mill’s operations. The excess energy is used to

power worker’s quarters, government facilities, schools and

mosque. In FYE2020, 14,706,530 kWh of electricity was generated

(FYE2019: 6,216,230 kWh).

Emission

We emit GHG both directly and indirectly. Our largest impact

in terms of emissions is direct (scope 1) emissions mainly

from our businesses’ use of petrol, gas and diesel. Our main

source of indirect (scope 2) emissions is electricity used in our

manufacturing and processing operations.

Overall, the Group’s total emission was lower by 0.8% y-o-y. Head

Office showed the most improvements with a 14.8% reduction

y-o-y primarily due to its usage of solar to generate power supply

for the building.

Our Head Office’s direct emissions remain at zero this year. The

shift to solar power has also lessened the impact of our Head

Office’s indirect (scope 2) emissions.
