Abstract

The global energy crisis and increasing demand for low-carbon energy sources have positioned biomass as a strategic alternative in the transition to renewable energy. Forestry waste such as sawdust and wood chips have great potential to be converted into energy, but their utilization in Indonesia is still not optimal despite their abundant availability. Indonesia produces approximately 146.7 million tons of biomass per year with an estimated energy potential of 470 GJ/year, indicating significant opportunities for energy diversification. This article examines the potential of forestry waste biomass as an energy source, developments in conversion technology, and economic and sustainability challenges. A comparative analysis of the Fujino & Hashimoto (2023) study shows that biomass can provide local economic benefits, but its effectiveness in reducing emissions still depends on supporting technology and policies. The results of the study emphasize the need to develop high-efficiency biomass generation technology and a regulatory framework that encourages the sustainable use of waste so that biomass can play a role as a pillar of national renewable energy.

Abstract

Energy security is a strategic element in supporting sustainable development and national security, particularly in Indonesia's outermost islands. Wetar Island in Southwest Maluku Regency faces serious challenges in the form of high dependence on fuel oil and limited energy distribution systems. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the challenges of distribution and dependence on BBM and their impact on the energy security of Wetar Island. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method through analysis of policy documents, energy institution reports, and related scientific studies. The results of the study show that the dominance of BBM, logistical obstacles due to geographical conditions, and high energy costs have led to low resilience in the local energy system. In addition, the limited use of renewable energy has increased the region's energy vulnerability. This study emphasises the need for energy diversification, strengthening of local infrastructure, and integration of central and regional policies in order to achieve sustainable energy security for Wetar Island.
