  Abstract
 
  Efforts towards application of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCCO2)
extraction in Malaysia are still at its infancy stage. More
research has actively on-going to explore its potential performance
on a bigger scale (industrial scale) so that it will provide a better
alternative method of extraction compare to the present practice
using organic solvent extraction. SC-CO2 has been proven on
laboratory and pilot-scale as an effective extraction technique for
large types of bio-materials such as herbs, natural plant materials
like legumes, nuts and palm oil and others. Thus, this paper is aimed
to highlights the application of SC-CO2 in extraction of oil from a
single palm kernel and also to demonstrate its application in
estimating or inventoried the amount of CO2 consumed and release
to the atmosphere in relation to green house effect in compliance to
Kyoto Protocol.
