Assessment of Policy Implementation for Palm Oil-Based Bioenergy Development in Indonesia

Knowledge Hub
2023
August
This paper assessed the policy implementation in this sector to identify the reasons behind the remaining challenges in palm oil-based bioenergy in Indonesia by combining renewable readiness assessment with policy indicators. The use of multiple theories allowed this study to address the holistic aspects of the policy implementation within four pillars—national energy policy and strategy, institutional framework, economic instruments, and infrastructure. A qualitative analysis was used to assess the current policy implementation and provide a discussion within each pillar. The basic policy and strategy have existed along with the institutional framework and price-based economic instrument. At the same time, the infrastructure pillar fell behind due to a lack of government support regarding the widespread issues. Although the readiness assessment result was considered suboptimal, the assessment and discussion were still expected as the first step toward proposing bioenergy development strategies that will contribute to the energy resilience of Indonesia.

The Potential of Biogas in Energy Transition in Indonesia

Journal
2021
August
Indonesia is an agrarian country that has a rich bioenergy potency in liquid (biodiesel, bioethanol). The Government of Indonesia (GoI) has set the target to achieve 23% of renewable energy utilisation into the national energy mix by 2025. In addition, the GoI also aims to increase the production of biofuel to 7.21 million kilolitres by 2019. Theoretically, biogas technology will be a strategic measure in achieving the target, however, at the moment the biogas technology market in Indonesia is still in a nascent state, especially for the direct utilisation of biogas for electricity production. Alternatively, biogas provides Indonesia with a promising source of energy, which can be injected directly into natural gas grids and hitchhike existing distribution infrastructure, resulting in reduced costs along the production-distribution pipeline. For this reason, biomethane has been the focus of some developing countries (e.g Argentina, Republic of South Africa) in moving toward energy transition. This paper examines the state of the biogas market in Indonesia using literature review. The status of natural gas is mapped out through its available potential and the existing initiation of national programs related to biogas. Finally, the study provides recommendations on how biogas technology could accelerate the energy transition in Indonesia.
