Abstract

This study aims to design and assess the technical, environmental, and economic feasibility of an integrated Zero-Waste Palm Oil biorefinery for the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and other value-added co-products. A quantitative-descriptive approach was employed, integrating process simulation using Aspen Plus V14, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and financial modeling to evaluate the system’s performance and sustainability. Primary data were obtained from operational palm oil mills. In contrast, secondary data were sourced from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Statistics Indonesia (BPS), and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) during 2023–2024. The results demonstrate that the integrated biorefinery configuration, which combines thermochemical conversion pathways (pyrolysis, gasification, and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis) with biochemical processes (anaerobic digestion), achieves a mass conversion efficiency of 58.4 percent, net energy efficiency of 72 percent, and an Energy Return on Investment (EROI) of 4.97, exceeding the global bioenergy feasibility threshold of three. The LCA results indicate total Life-cycle emissions of 17.3 g CO?-eq per MJ, representing an 80.6 percent reduction relative to fossil-based Jet A-1 fuel, thereby meeting both CORSIA and RED II sustainability standards. The system also achieves a 95 percent reduction in solid residues, effectively realizing a near-zero-waste operation. Financial modeling reveals a net present value (NPV) of USD 68.2 million, an internal rate of return (IRR) of 17.6 percent, and a payback period of 6.2 years, confirming the project’s economic viability. Overall, this model establishes a scalable pathway for decarbonizing the palm oil industry through circular bioeconomy principles and positions Indonesia as a potential global hub for SAF production aligned with international carbon reduction targets.

Abstract

The European Union (EU) introduced the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to impose carbon price on imported goods based on their carbon footprint, aiming to mitigate carbon leakage and accelerate global decarbonization. While designed to promote sustainable industrial practices, CBAM poses significant challenges for emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), including Indonesia, which depends heavily on carbon-intensive industries for export revenues. This study investigates CBAM’s potential impact on Indonesia’s trade competitiveness, economic stability, and policy landscape by comparing its projected consequences in Indonesia with its implementation in the EU. This research employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, analyzing academic studies, policy reports from organizations such as the OECD, WTO, and IMF, and case studies from Indonesia and EU member states. The findings reveal that implementing CBAM in Indonesia would elevate production costs, weaken export competitiveness, and heighten economic risks for industries reliant on high-emission production, particularly in the manufacturing and energy sectors. Moreover, CBAM could intensify social challenges, including job losses and inflationary pressures. However, a comparative analysis with the EU’s experience highlights potential opportunities for Indonesia, such as incentives for a green economic transition, increased investment in renewable energy, and alignment with global sustainability standards. These findings underscore the urgency for Indonesia to formulate strategic policy responses, including trade diversification, technological innovation, and active participation in international climate negotiations. By providing a comparative perspective, this study advances the discourse on climate and trade policies, emphasizing the need for an equitable and adaptive regulatory framework that enables developing economies to navigate the global transition toward sustainability.

Abstract

Background: This research addresses regulatory friction and systemic risks arising from the integration of tokenised bullion into the Decentralised Finance (DeFi) ecosystem, focusing on how to balance investor protection with continued innovation. It outlines the context of DeFi’s permissionless architecture, the sensitivity of bullion as a high value asset class, and the resulting challenges for regulatory certainty and market integrity. Methods: The study employs an analytical and conceptual approach based on a comprehensive literature review and the examination of international regulatory frameworks, including IOSCO principles and FATF recommendations. It develops an adaptive regulatory model by comparing existing rules on securities, commodities, and virtual assets with the specific risk profile of tokenised bullion in DeFi. Findings: The analysis identifies core conflicts between DeFi’s borderless, permissionless protocols and jurisdiction bound AML/KYC requirements, as well as single point of failure risks arising from custodial bullion structures. To address these conflicts, the paper proposes a DeFi Bullion Specific Regulatory Sandbox Framework grounded in technology neutral and risk based principles, which embeds regulatory KPIs, capital adequacy thresholds, and RegTech enabled real time monitoring. Conclusion: The results indicate that the proposed sandbox model offers a viable pathway to mitigate systemic risk and enhance regulatory certainty by enforcing compliance at critical on chain and off chain interaction points, particularly physical redemption of bullion. The framework strengthens investor protection while preserving space for innovation in tokenised bullion markets. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research delivers a comprehensive and actionable regulatory blueprint tailored to tokenised bullion in DeFi, explicitly addressing jurisdictional arbitrage and dual asset integrity issues. Its original contributions include defining technical prerequisites for embedding AML compliance into DAO governance and outlining a cross border mandatory liquidation protocol as a theoretical roadmap for regulators and industry stakeholders.

Abstract

The Qur’an has often been interpreted through patriarchal perspectives that limit women’s roles. This study highlights the challenge of reinterpreting gender in the Qur’an to develop understandings that are inclusive, just, and relevant to the context of modern Muslim societies. The research aims to analyze various forms of gender discrimination in Qur’anic interpretation and to explore opportunities and challenges in reconstructing more inclusive interpretations in the modern era. This study employs gender hermeneutics to uncover gender bias in traditional interpretations of the Qur’an through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The research identifies patriarchal bias by selecting and analyzing relevant literature. The analytical process involves critically evaluating biased classical interpretations in comparison with more inclusive contemporary interpretations, using a thematic approach to understand gender discrimination within the texts. Findings indicate that inclusive Qur’anic interpretation requires critical analysis of patriarchal bias, women’s empowerment, and contextual hermeneutics. Social change, education, and digital technology create opportunities to reconstruct gender-just interpretations. Through women’s involvement, educational reform, digital advocacy, and international collaboration, progressive interpretations emerge that promote gender equality and social justice in contemporary contexts. This study contributes to the development of Qur’anic studies by offering a multidimensional approach to foster more inclusive and gender-just interpretations. By integrating critical analysis, women’s empowerment, digital technology, and international collaboration, this research broadens the religious discourse toward progressive interpretations relevant to modern social dynamics and supportive of gender equality.
