The post anthesis of male oil palm is one of the under utilized solid wastes,  with potential for processing into biofuel or bioethanol, as a welcome alternative to fossil fuels  The purpose of this study is to determine the best levels and the effect of several thermal delignification cycles on the levels of lignin, holocellulose, and cellulose.  This research used a one factor completely randomized design method with 3 treatments; one, two, and three cycle thermal delignification and data analyzed has a 5% variance. The results showed that the treatment of thermal delignification with several cycles had a significant effect on the levels of lignin, holocellulose, and cellulose. The best levels of lignin, holocellulose and cellulose were shown in the treatment of three cycles of thermal delignification.
