Sustainable Bioenergy Based Biomass for Greening Indonesia

by | 09-02-2015 16:50



Indonesia is one of the largest emmitters of green house gases due to being of a generator of deforestation and forest degradation. Besides the cause industry, power, and transport sectors dominate Indonesia?s energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. Mostly fossil fuel energy nonrenewable energy resources - is a second contributor of the emitting which will surrender green house gases notably CO2. Fossil fuel energy is threatened with volatility of fuel price and scarcity so that the alternatives are by reducing the consumption and acquiring renewable bioenergy sources. 

One of the exceptional renewable materials on producing bioenergy is biomass. Biomass is abundant, recycable, biodegradable and inexhaustible lignocellulose materials obtained from plants of agriculture, pasture and forestry. In addition, it can be acquired from municipal wastes in the form of organic wastes from the kitchen. Despite of materials based starch and sugar it is the major sources of bioenergy due to the capabilities. Bioenergy Consult reported that Indonesia produces 146.7 million tons of biomass per year, equivalent to about 470 GJ/y. It can be converted to produce some added-value such as bioetanol, biofuel, biopellet, biobricket without combusting directly. Some studies reveal that 150 Mt of biomass residues produced peryear can be converted into the electricity generation potential with about 50 GW or equivalent to roughly 470 GJ/year.
