In QL’s strategic decision to reduce consumption of fossil fuel-based energy, we progressively increased solar panel installations in our operation sites and actively supply renewable energy generated from the biogas plant to the grid. 

In FY2022, 7.5% of total energy consumption was supplied from our renewable energy initiatives, which is 2.0% higher than FY2021. QL generated 53,061 GJ of renewable energy, avoiding 26,240 tCO2e in GHG emissions.

QL Plantation operates a biogas plant which uses methane captured to generate power for on-site operations with excess power sold to the local grid. In FY2022, the biogas plant generated a total of 10,688.4 GJ of electricity, avoiding a total of 20,240 tCO2e GHG emissions. Approximately 55% of the generated energy was used on-site. The biogas plant performance was affected by lower processing activities in palm oil mill.
