The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification promotes responsible palm oil production, and integrating carbon credits can further enhance its environmental impact. By adopting energy-efficient practices and reforestation, MSPO-certified producers can generate carbon credits, create new revenue streams, and help Malaysia meet its climate targets, all while strengthening their market reputation.

As the debates around COP26 rages on what countries and what industries should be doing more to stop the natural disasters caused by climate change, there has been a new surge of pledges by both countries and companies towards a net zero goal.

Understanding the importance of these actions in reducing palm oil emissions can be seen through the contribution of emissions from various sectors of agriculture. The FAO has a comprehensive report which details emissions from land use to enteric fermentation to on-farm energy use.
