The Path to Carbon Negative Plantations
For the palm oil industry specifically, this target is not merely aspirational, it is achievable through coordinated action across cultivation, milling and downstream processing. The baseline for comparison is stark: conventional palm oil (without good agricultural practices) generates significantly higher GHG emissions than sustainable palm oil production. However, even sustainable conventional operations emit approximately 0.634 Mt CO2eq per metric tonne of crude palm oil (CPO) when mills utilise biomass and biogas for energy generation.
We have an aspiration that using technology and domain expertise, we are confident of transforming all plantations to carbon negative by the year 2040.
