**4.2 Oil palm empty fruit bunches**

One of the most significant lignocellulosic biomasses in Malaysia is oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB). From palm oil production, OPEFB contributed 20% of total biomass [22]. In 2019, approximately 2.9 million tonnes of OPEFB were made, a figure that is expected to rise as global demand for oil palm grows [10]. OPEFB contains a high percentage of cellulose (38–65%), lignin (13–37%), and hemicellulose (17–33%) (**Table 2**). OPEFB can be processed into useful products, such as biochemical products, due to its abundance and high cellulose content (i.e. CMCase, Fpase, ethanol).

**Table 4** shows the results of various fermentation processes on biochemical products using OPEFB as the substrate. The goods are unique to each organism.
