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.

Abstract

Background: With more than 40% of Indonesia's oil palm land under its management, smallholders still face challenges on the low land productivity and certification achievement. Methods: This research aims to develop a certification concept capable to increase the smallholders’ land productivity through descriptive statistics, grounded theory, content analysis, and Analytic Hiearachy Process. Findings: This research finds that ISPO and RSPO certified smallholders achieved 82% higher land productivity than the average conventional ones, in line with their compliance with certification and consistent GAP application. Fertilisation needs to be prioritised to increase productivity, with the GAP Application and Monitoring (RSPO) and Plant Maintenance (ISPO) as the supporting certification criteria. Conclusion: Synergy between ISPO and RSPO has a chance to increasing land productivity through certification compliance, hence accelerating smallholder certification achievement which would reduce deforestation rates from oil palm expansion. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces a certification concept that combines ISPO and RSPO standards to enhance smallholder land productivity. It emphasizes the integration of fertilization, GAP application, and plant maintenance as key components for boosting productivity while ensuring certification compliance, offering a novel approach to reducing deforestation rates in Indonesia's oil palm sector.

Abstract

Background: In 2015, Indonesia was the second-largest contributor to marine debris worldwide, with an estimated 0.48-1.29 million metric tons of marine waste. In Jakarta, the marine waste generation reached 303.6 tons per day. Government programs such as JAKSTRADA and JAKSTRANAS aim to reduce plastic waste by 30% and manage 70% of waste by 2025. These policies promote circular economy-based waste management, but household participation remains low, with only 1.6% contributing to the 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle). Methods: This study employs both quantitative and qualitative approaches to measure the performance of circular economy-based plastic waste management in Jakarta. The population includes both formal and informal sectors, such as waste banks and waste pickers. Data is analyzed using the Waste Management Performance Index (IKPS) from SIPSN and BPS, comparing plastic waste management achievements with JAKSTRADA targets up to 2025. Findings: In Jakarta, per capita waste generation is 0.7 kg/day, mainly organic and plastic. Despite a decline in collected waste, plastic waste is rising. Management follows Law No. 18/2008 and Presidential Regulation No. 97/2017, involving formal (TPS 3R, waste banks) and informal (collectors, vendors) sectors. The informal sector aids recycling by collecting plastic from inaccessible areas. JAKSTRADA targets waste reduction, handling, and recycling until 2025. The Waste Management Performance Index (IKPS) evaluates policy, effectiveness, and efficiency. Conclusion: Waste management in Central Jakarta is still low with an index of 26% and a recycling rate of 12.6%, despite achieving 99.98% of the collaboration target. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the integration of formal and informal sectors in plastic waste management in Central Jakarta, emphasizing the use of the Waste Management Performance Index (IKPS) to assess policy effectiveness and recycling progress toward JAKSTRADA targets.

Abstract

The presence of a palm oil company in an area can be a mainstay in the economic sector, providing employment opportunities and indirect benefits from local infrastructure development. In other conditions, environmental damage and social conflict challenges emerge as risks from palm oil company activities. This study aims to analyze the positive and negative impacts of oil palm according to society, the social conflicts it causes because of environmental damage, and provide alternative solutions. For the objectives to be answered, a qualitative approach was used to gather a purposive sampling of informants with data collected from local communities near plantations (primary) and documentation (secondary). One hundred and one questionnaires were distributed, and interviews were conducted between 12 and 28 November 2023. It found that oil palm plantations boost local economies by facilitating easier sales of small-scale farmers' harvests to companies at stable prices, ensuring steady income, especially when prices are high. Infrastructure improvements, such as road paving and bridge construction funded by CSR initiatives, benefit the community despite some road damage from plantation vehicles. However, plantations are causing environmental damage, creating economic inequality, and disrupting traditional communities. Expansion leads to social jealousy, cultural loss among Indigenous people, and road damage from plantation traffic; worse still, it causes conflicts between the community and the company. In addressing social conflicts, communities have engaged in environmental conservation through cooperation, customary deliberations, and dialogues with companies and the government. Therefore, social approaches are highly effective as alternative solutions for resolving social conflicts.

Abstract

The ecoport concept, or environmentally port management, is a sustainable development approach that integrates social, economic, and environmental aspects. This concept has been adopted in several developed and developing countries. In Indonesia, the ecoport concept has been applied to fishing ports, known as eco-fishing ports since 2013. However, the Cilacap Ocean Fishing Port (PPS Cilacap) was not selected as a pilot site that year, despite having adequate infrastructure and active fishing operations that meet the assessment parameters outlined in the National Fishing Port Master Plan. This study aims to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) related to environmental management and the socio-economic conditions of the local community, in order to formulate strategies for implementing a sustainable eco-fishing port at PPS Cilacap. Strategy development was carried out using a SWOT analysis based on observations, interviews, and questionnaire surveys. The results indicate that PPS Cilacap possesses strengths such as good environmental conditions and competent human resources, but it also faces challenges, including poorly maintained facilities, waste management issues, and limited financial resources. In conclusion, although PPS Cilacap demonstrates favorable environmental conditions and skilled personnel, improvements in maintenance, waste handling, and budget allocation are needed. Enhancing infrastructure, fostering partnerships, and advancing sustainability initiatives will be crucial to the successful implementation of the eco-fishing port concept.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of hazardous (B3) and non-hazardous (Non-B3) waste management at Tanjung Priok Port through the implementation of Reception Facilities (RF) to support the Green Port initiative. Although the RF infrastructure complies with the Ministerial Regulation of Environment (Permen LH) No. 05 of 2009, Article 5, its utilization remains significantly low at only 0.27%. This inefficiency is attributed to high operational costs, limited awareness among ship operators, and insufficient waste processing capacity. Waste composition is dominated by hazardous materials such as used lubricant oil, sludge oil, and solid oil slop, while non-hazardous waste includes domestic, plastic, and organic waste. Furthermore, only 52% of personnel are adequately trained in waste management practices, highlighting a critical human resource gap. Used SWOT analysis, the strategic position of the RF system falls within the Strength–Threat (S–T) quadrant, indicating the need for a defensive diversification strategy. This strategy emphasizes leveraging existing infrastructure and regulatory compliance to address external challenges such as policy enforcement and operational constraints. The findings suggest improving RF utilization through cost reduction, stakeholder engagement, and capacity building will enhance the port’s environmental performance. This study contributes to the broader implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 (clean water and sanitation), 12 (responsible consumption and production), and 14 (life below water), offering a replicable framework for other ports in Indonesia and globally.

Abstract

Background: Asian nations like China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam account for 60% of the estimated 4.8–12.7 million metric tons of marine plastic trash produced year worldwide. The majority of the marine trash off the north coast of Jakarta is made of plastic, at 59%. Because it offers financial advantages and fosters partner collaboration, the circular economy is a novel strategy for managing plastic trash. Regretfully, there remains a dearth of information regarding the entities engaged in the management of plastic garbage in Central Jakarta. In light of a circular economy, this research attempts to create methods for bolstering collaborations in the management of plastic trash. Methods: In this study, a hybrid strategy using a quantitative approach was employed. The best and most practical type of partnership in Central Jakarta was identified through the use of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in this study. Findings: The study's findings indicate that the greatest plan for Central Jakarta is a collaboration with the government since it promotes both well-managed plastic waste management and economic gains. Conclusion: The best partnership model based on AHP analysis is the Government-Private sector partnership. This form of partnership can drive increased economic benefits and improve the performance of plastic waste management. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study integrates a circular economy approach with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the most effective partnership model for plastic waste management in Central Jakarta.

Abstract

Environmental damage from palm oil production remains a pressing and significant global issue, driving ecosystem disruption and social conflicts. Local communities, as the first to experience its impacts, are central actors in addressing deforestation, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This study examines the role of local communities in the Subah sub-district, Indonesia, in managing environmental degradation and mitigating social conflicts associated with palm oil plantations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a Likert scale questionnaire with 101 respondents and field observations to capture both quantitative trends and community perspectives. The study underscores the importance of empowering local communities by integrating their traditional knowledge and practices into broader environmental governance frameworks. Over 60% of respondents agreed that active participation improves environmental quality and reduces conflict, with nearly 70% reporting direct involvement in conflict resolution. For instance, community-led reforestation in Sabung Village restored biodiversity and strengthened social cohesion, while waterway cleanups in Mukti Raharja Village reduced pollution and eased tensions with plantation companies. These examples highlight how grassroots initiatives can foster both ecological restoration and social harmony. This study’s novelty lies in its focus on community driven environmental practices as dual strategies for ecological management and peacebuilding in palm oil-producing regions. The results suggest the need for participatory approaches, where companies collaborate with communities to promote sustainable practices, prevent environmental degradation, and ensure long-term social stability.
