Analyst briefing
Activities & scale The project installs anaerobic digesters with methane capture at Tunas Sawa Erma palm oil mills in Papua, generating CERs by destroying/avoiding CH4 that would otherwise vent from POME ponds. TSE's own communications describe two 7,800 m3 air-tight digester tanks feeding a ~2 MW biogas-to-power plant integrated with Bio-CNG, sized to process ~1,000 m3 POME/day and abate ~60,708 tCO2e/year 1 — with plans to replicate across five more TSE subsidiary mills.
