Simulation of generate value for development of biomass plants in Indonesia: a feasibility study

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to define the generating value of biomass plants in Indonesia by a feasibility study. It is important to measure the optimal location to build biomass plants in Indonesia. Besides that. the need of supply of electrical energy in Indonesia is always increase in recent years. Based on data. three cities in Indonesia that potential become location to build those biomass plant from total organic wastes to generate total electricity through conversion of methane gas that produced from waste. In this paper. proposed method of feasibility study performed to achieve optimal value in the construction of biomass power plants and the optimal location to implant. The analysis through the data of total electricity generated from gas that calculated on feasibility aspect values on NPV. IRR. and PI. The result show. in three cities of Indonesia produce a positive feasibility value based on value of IRR that greater than 20% tax so that the Government of Indonesia can implementing biomass plants on those three cities

Food waste to bioenergy: current status and role in future circular economies in Indonesia

“…In Indonesia, several projects have received governmental support for the development of food waste for bioenergy production. One example is the small-scale BIOMIRU project (Biogas Mini Rumahan) which was initiated under the BIRU program (http://www.biru.or.id/) (BIRU, 2021) and RUMAH ENERGI (http://www.rumahenergi.org/) (Rumah Energi, 2021). Various studies have emphasized that food waste has the potential to be converted to sustainable bioenergy and bioproducts (Dung et al, 2014;Karmee, 2016;Thi et al, 2016;Kiran et al, 2014) Food consumption and food waste generation are increasing as the global population increases (Wang et al, 2018a).…”
