A study by a team at the University Putra Malaysia concluded that the gasification of empty fruit bunch (EFB), a waste of the palm oil industry, could, if scaled up, produce hydrogen at a supply cost of $2.11/kg The US Department of Energy (DOE) 2015 cost target for hydrogen is $2.00-$3.00/kg kg EFB ($2.11/kg kg = $0.18/Nm
