  • Description: This review paper explores the potential of oil palm biomass as a valuable cellulose source for the production of nitrocellulose-based propellants, contributing to the green revolution and sustainable energy solutions. It highlights the availability of the corresponding biomass in Malaysia and in line with global studies, the chemical compositions, as well as a brief description of current technologies for converting biomass of oil palm into value added products specifically cellulose. Steps to achieve maximum utilization of biomass from oil palm industry for cellulose production and prospective source for nitrocellulose-based propellant are also proposed. The methodology section outlines the pre-treatment of lignocellulosic fibres, cellulose extraction, and nitrocellulose production processes. Overall, the review underscores the prospective of palm oil biomass as a sustainable cellulose source for propellant manufacturing, while acknowledging the need for further research and advancements in the field.
