As a result, the plastics industry is highly dependent on fossil fuels as the source of raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>The technology developed by ITB offers a more environmentally friendly alternative by utilizing palm oil biomass as a raw material.<\/p>\n<p>Through a conversion process using a zeolite-based catalyst, the lignin fraction from empty palm fruit bunches can be converted into chemical compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX), which are used in the polymer industry.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Efficiency 30 times higher<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Led by Dr. CB Rasrendra, the ITB research team successfully designed a special zeolite-based catalyst capable of significantly increasing bio-BTX production yields.<\/p>\n<p>With the formulation, production yields can be increased up to 30-fold compared to using conventional catalysts.<\/p>\n<p>In the initial stages, the research team has succeeded in:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Developing a laboratory-scale production system<\/li>\n<li>Producing approximately 100 milliliters of crude bio-BTX<\/li>\n<li>Preparing a patent draft for the process technology<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><strong>Supporting down-streaming program<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>This technology also supports the government&#8217;s ongoing down-streaming program for the palm oil industry. Empty palm fruit bunches (EFBs), previously considered worthless, can now be processed into high-value industrial raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting products can be directly used by existing industries, such as plastic and polyester material manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>Through this innovation, palm oil waste is no longer viewed as a waste from plantation production, but as a strategic source of raw materials for future industries.
