PNG Biomass is one of the most exciting clean and sustainable energy initiatives in Papua New Guinea’s history.

Oil Search is proud to be driving this exciting power initiative, which will not only enhance generation capacity on the grid, but will also empower landowners and contribute to the well-being of local communities, create opportunities for future generations, and provide energy independence for PNG without compromising the country’s pristine and unique environment.

Oil Search’s PNG Biomass project in the Markham Valley is a long-term renewable energy initiative in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG). It will use wood chips from trees sustainably grown and harvested in surrounding plantations to fuel a biomass power plant to provide up to 30 Megawatt (MWe) into the Ramu grid.
