Abstract

Background: Indonesia is still an energy importer, especially in the form of crude oil and fuel products to meet the needs of its industrial sector. The reduced production of fossil energy, especially oil, as well as the global commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, has prompted the Indonesian government to continue to support the role of new and renewable energy. The production of palm oil-based biodiesel is faced with a number of environmental problems, which may occur from the release of emissions during the production of FFB (Fresh Fruit Bunches), CPO (Crude Palm Oil), and biodiesel. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to compile an LCI (Life Cycle Inventory) covering the production of FFB, CPO, and biodiesel; analyze the environmental impact of the CPO bodysel production process which includes CO2 (eq) emissions, acidification and eutrophication; and develop a life cycle concept for biodiesel production from palm oil as a renewable energy. Methods: The method used in this study is a combination of quantitative LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) and qualitative. Findings: The results of this study are LCI in 1 ton of biodiesel consisting of NPK fertilizer of 141.1 Kg; herbicide (0.25 Kg); water (1578 m3), diesel oil (25 Kg); fresh fruit bunches of 5.67 tons; electricity of 33.8 kWh, POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) (3,47 m3), CPO needed for biodiesel conversion of 1.17 tons; methanol (0.41 tons), and 0.01 tons of Sodium Hydroxide. The total CO2 emission (eq) of biodiesel production from palm oil is 1489 Kg CO2 (eq), eutrophication is 1.12 Kg PO43- (eq) and acidification is 3.06 Kg SO2 (eq). With the largest contribution of CO2 (eq) emissions in CPO production and the contribution of eutrophication and acidification in oil palm plantations or FFB production (Fresh Fruit Bunches). Environmental hotspot of LCA, CO2 (eq) emissions from palm oil biodiesel production show that 53% mainly comes from POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) waste, other contributors are NPK fertilizers (23%), methanol (18%), and diesel oil (7%). Hotspot eutrophication showed that 61% mainly came from NPK fertilizer, methanol (20%), diesel oil (11%), and POME waste (8%). Hotspot acidification showed that 48% mainly came from NPK fertilizers, methanol (28%), POME waste (13%), and diesel oil (11%). Conclusion: The concept of a biodiesel production life cycle can be applied with the best alternative utilization of POME waste with a priority weighting of 0.357 and a CO2(eq) emission criterion of 0.494. From the optimization of the life cycle of biodiesel production with the use of POME, the potential for emission reduction is 667.2 Kg CO2 (eq). Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study's novel application of LCA evaluates the environmental impacts of biodiesel production from palm oil in Indonesia, identifying critical hotspots in CO2 emissions, eutrophication, and acidification. Additionally, it proposes an innovative optimization approach by utilizing POME to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting a viable path for enhancing the sustainability of biodiesel production.

Abstract

Background: Peatland ecosystems play an important role in the hydrological cycle and carbon cycling. In Indonesia, peatlands store about 28.6 gigatonnes of carbon which is equivalent to 10 years of global fossil fuel emissions. Peatlands act as a water storage during wet seasons and slowly release water during dry seasons to maintain river discharges and hydrological balance. However, climate change induced prolonged drought has increased peatland dryness in recent decades which elevate the risks of unwanted peatland fires. During El Nino-induced drought in 2015, over 2.6 million hectares of forest and land burned, emitting 0.81–1.4 gigatonnes of greenhouse gasses. The extreme fires damaged biodiversity, degraded water quality and displaced thousands of locals. This study aimed to analyze peatland wetness as an indicator of fire occurrences in forest and land fires (FLFs) in Riau, Indonesia by examining the relationship between degree of peatland wetness derived from satellite imagery and hotspots data. Methods: Peatland wetness was estimated from microwave backscattering coefficients at several RadarSat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wavelengths and cross validated with water table depth measurements from 120 monitoring wells. Hotspots data between 2015-2020 were obtained from NASA's MODIS active fire product. Findings: Preliminary results showed significant negative correlations between peatland wetness and numbers of hotspots in peatlands, with more hotspots occurring in drier peatlands compared to wetter ones. This implies that maintaining peatland hydrological functions through continuous saturation is pivotal to prevent severe peatland wildfires under future climate change. Conclusion: Conservation efforts to restore hydrological balance in degraded peatlands through re-wetting strategies are recommended. Further research utilizing machine learning algorithms to produce high-resolution peatland wetness maps can improve fire risk monitoring in peatlands. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study introduces the novel concept of utilizing peatland wetness as a key indicator for predicting and mitigating forest and land fires in Indonesia, particularly in Riau Province. By combining peatland moisture and temperature data, the research establishes threshold values to better predict fire risks and guide timely mitigation efforts, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of FLF response activities.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has the potential of natural resources to support agriculture. However, there are still some areas that have not optimized natural resources. People focus on planting commodity crops without considering the physical conditions of the environment and socio-culture. This research aims to develop policy directions for agricultural priority areas that consider the physical conditions of the environment and their suitability for farmers' commodity preferences. Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach with a combined method to determine agricultural priority areas. It integrates ZAE analysis, land carrying capacity, and farmers' commodity preferences. Findings: The results showed that the commodities preferred by farmers were cocoa, corn, and upland rice. The preference for these commodities has a significant correlation, especially with the source of income and the size of cultivated land. There is a 51% mismatch of existing agricultural land with the ZAE while in general agriculture in Nangapanda is in accordance with the carrying capacity of the land because it is at a high level of carrying capacity. Conclusion: Based on the agricultural priority areas formed, agriculture in Nangapanda can utilize dry land mainly for plantations with the direction of the main commodities tailored to the physical conditions of the land and the preferences of farmers namely cocoa, cashew, cloves, nutmeg, pepper. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in the integrative approach in formulating agricultural priority area policies that combine the suitability of physical environmental conditions and farmers' commodity preferences, which has not been widely applied in similar studies.

Abstract

Sebagai pusat pemerintahan dan bisnis, Jakarta Pusat mengumpulkan jumlah sampah plastik terbanyak di bank sampah dibandingkan dengan kota administrasi DKI Jakarta lainnya, yaitu mencapai 95.760 kg/bulan pada tahun 2021. Jumlah ini meningkat dari tahun 2020 yang mencapai sekitar 76.471 kg/bulan. Meskipun demikian, pada praktik sebagian besar bank sampah di Jakarta Pusat belum menerapkan teknologi yang dapat menunjang keberlanjutan pengelolaan sampah plastik. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik sampah plastik yang dikumpulkan di bank sampah dan memilih teknologi pengolahan sampah plastik yang ideal dengan mempertimbangkan 4 (empat) kriteria. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah kombinasi AHP dan TOPSIS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata jumlah sampah plastik yang dikumpulkan di bank sampah adalah 60-250 kg/hari yang didominasi oleh jenis botol plastik. Hasil perhitungan nilai bobot menunjukkan bahwa kriteria yang dianggap penting secara berurutan adalah lingkungan (0,56), ekonomi (0,21), sosial (0,16), dan teknis (0,07). Berdasarkan nilai tersebut diperoleh alternatif teknologi pengolahan sampah plastik yang ideal untuk skala bank sampah adalah mesin press hidraulik (C*=0,648). Melalui hasil ini, diharapkan pemilihan teknologi pengolahan sampah plastik di bank sampah dapat mempertimbangkan berbagai kriteria yang memberikan manfaat, baik secara praktis maupun ekonomis.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia, as the largest palm oil-producing country in the world, will also produce palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME production from palm oil processing is faced with many environmental problems from the release of emissions. The development of new renewable energy in Indonesia needs to be increased to reduce dependence on fossil energy and commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study is to discuss the potential for new renewable energy from the utilization of POME biogas energy and how the environmental impacts are caused as well as the opportunities and challenges of developing EBT from POME.  Methods: This research analysis method is LCA, and descriptive. Findings: Total CO2 emission (eq) of biogas production from POME is -24.62 Kg CO2 (eq), eutrophication is -0.2188 Kg PO43- (eq) and acidification is 0.00552 Kg SO2 (eq). Biogas production from POME in Jambi Province is not optimal and has not been used optimally, the process efficiency is low, and the profitability is low. Conclusion: There is a need for a concept to utilize biogas energy that does not only focus on electrical energy but also as a renewable energy source such as bio-CNG which has wider use. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in the comprehensive analysis of the utilization of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) as a renewable energy source that is not only limited to electrical energy but also includes the potential conversion of POME into bio-CNG as a more flexible and sustainable alternative.
