   The Malaysian palm oil industry can generate revenue by selling carbon credits from decarbonization efforts (like POME treatment, biomass energy, and improved land management), boosting climate goals and funding new tech, with strategies like integrating carbon accounting into MSPO certification and leveraging biomass for bioenergy. This creates economic benefits, supports global climate action, and helps overcome R&D costs for solutions like biohydrogen or biomass pellets, aligning with Malaysia's net-zero ambitions by turning sustainability into a profit center. 
Key Opportunities & Strategies:
Carbon Credits: -
Generate credits from reducing emissions (e.g., methane from Palm Oil Mill Effluent - POME) or sequestering carbon (e.g., biomass use), selling them to polluters.
Waste-to-Energy: -
Convert palm oil mill effluent (POME) and empty fruit bunches (EFB) into biomass pellets for sustainable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and creating value.
Circular Bioeconomy:-
 Implement circular models to transform waste into biohydrogen or biochar, providing new revenue streams and reducing environmental impact.
MSPO Integration:-
 Embed carbon accounting into the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification (MSPO 3.0) to standardize and reward sustainable practices.
Government & Industry Support: -
Requires R&D, financing, incentives, and collaboration for large-scale adoption of new technologies, notes this YouTube video, another The Edge Markets article, and UKRAGROCONSULT.COM. 
Benefits:-
Economic Growth: -
New revenue from carbon markets stimulates investment and innovation.
Climate Action: -
Contributes to Malaysia's net-zero goals and global climate mitigation.
Technological Advancement:-
 Supports development of emerging green solutions, say these ScienceDirect articles and this MDPI article. 
To understand how these carbon credit projects are verified for accuracy and compliance with global standards like Verra or Gold Standard, you might want to explore the specifics of carbon verification processes. 
Carbon credits: -
A strategic growth opportunity for Malaysia's palm oil ...
 The Malaysian palm oil industry has a unique opportunity to decarbonise and turn these actions into a revenue stream via the carbon markets.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
