GREE PROJECTRiam
Project.

The Riam project reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by capturing the methane gas produced from the digestion of organic matter in the wastewater stream of the palm oil factory, thus avoiding methane emission which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. The resulting biogas is then combusted to produce electricity which is distributed to the surrounding communities by the local power grid and the national utility.

The project has no net harm meaning no negative impact has been identified and the project results in an environmental improvement. The Riam project reduces GHG emission through recovery and controlled combustion of biogas, which improves the quality of air and contributes to climate change mitigation. The Riam Project is expected to decarbonize the food industry supply chain, to ensure sustainable production of palm oil.
