“…The results of the FGD produced conclusions about the factors that would influence uncertainty in the development of renewable energy based on bamboo forest biomass, as follows: Appropriate biomass technology to be developed The availability of bamboo biomass raw material is an important issue that will determine the sustainability of this project. Therefore, one of the requirements for developing a Biomass Power Plant is that the availability of raw materials must be ensured throughout the operation of the project [85]. Obtaining bamboo biomass raw materials with sustainable bamboo forest cultivation is an important activity that must be realized [86] Things that need to be ensured; 1) Status of community forest land must be realized and not change the designation, 2) Efforts to regulate reforestation and management of community forests need to be done consistently so that development of bamboo forests will overcome land damage and create carbon neutral conditions for power generation projects [88].…”

Background: This study objective to create a business model for the development of renewable energy based on bamboo forest biomass for underdeveloped and remote islands in Indonesia. Electrical energy has a vital and strategic role, to support national development and must be realized reliably, safely, equitably and environmentally friendly. Many problems occur in the management of the national electricity system, including dependence on the supply of fossil-fuel primary energy sources, as well as Indonesia's geographical condition which consists of many islands making it difficult to process the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Electricity generation from renewable energy sources based on bamboo forest biomass can be a solution to the above problems. The research questions to (1) analyze what factors will influence uncertainty in the development of renewable energy based on bamboo forest biomass; (2) analyze the indicators of the success of the development of renewable energy based on sustainable bamboo forest biomass. (3) designing a business model for the development of renewable energy based on bamboo forest biomass in rural areas that can guarantee sustainable regional growth. Methods: The study uses soft systems methodology techniques in the form of case studies supported by field surveys and literature studies. Qualitative analysis was carried out with a Focus Group Discussion and in-depth interviews with experts aimed at identifying indicators of success in developing sustainable renewable energy. The analysis technique uses two analytical methods, Strategic Assumption Surfacing and Testing (SAST) and Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM). The location of the study was conducted in three villages in Siberut Island, Mentawai Islands Regency, West Sumatra Conclusions: There were numbers of key elements in designing a business model for the development of renewable energy based on bamboo forest biomass, namely electricity subsidy rates, community forest land status, donor agencies, village community participation, income distribution and cooperative partnership of bamboo farmers. Business model that was designed in this study requires five things, specifically; (1) Clustering, (2) High tariffs, (3) Non-commercial funding, (4) Community Forestry, and (5) Community Empowerment.

✜ Abstract:In the face of increasing demand for woody biomass, mill residues continue being used more frequently than logging residues in Japan because of their relative ease of use.The Japanese government set a target ratio of logging residue use to 30 percent by 2030 compared with less than 1 percent in 2009. This study examined GHG emissions and the economic effects of logging and mill residues, which are employed as raw materials for various purposes in Maniwa, Japan.In 2012, 23,710 tonnes of woody biomass resources were collected and used in Maniwa, of which roughly 79 percent were logging residues. These resources are manufactured into several types of wood products, such as chips, bark, and chip dust. The manufactured products are then transported and consumed for paper, poultry litter, and fuel. Based on this, three scenarios were organized by changing the type of woody biomass resource use as follows: the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, the logging-residues-only utilization (LRU) scenario, and the mill-residues-only utilization (MRU) scenario. Under the LRU scenario, the expected regional effect is almost 188 million JPY, whereas the MRU scenario achieves almost 20 times more financial benefits than the LRU scenario with the integrated woody biomass station. However, approximately 13 full-time jobs can be created under the LRU scenario, which is 1.6 times higher than the 6 jobs created under the MRU scenario. In terms of GHG emissions, the LRU scenario can reduce GHG emissions by up to roughly 211t CO2eq/t compared to the MRU scenario.Overall, the promotion of logging residue use for manufacturing wood products has significant advantages over mill residues in both the reduction of GHG emissions and the growth of regional economies.
