POTENTIAL FOR ADVANCED BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

The Potential of Palm Oil Waste Biomass in Indonesia

  • Can palm oil be used as a biofuel in Indonesia?
  • The development of biofuels from biomass has raised interest in expanding the palm oil plantation area. This is because palm oil is the main raw material for biodiesel in Indonesia. CPO is the primary product derived from the red fruit of the oil palm, while palm kernel oil, derived from the fruit’s nut, is considered a secondary product.
  • How much biomass does Indonesia have?
  • Additionally, the country has an extensive biomass potential of approximately 32,655MWe. Palm oil, which includes palm oil mill effluent (POME), palm kernel shell (PKS), and empty fruit bunch (EFB), is Indonesia's primary source. Around 66 biomass power plants (including municipal solid waste) have been installed, totalling 1,896.5 MW in capacity.
  • What if all palm oil mills in Indonesia operated on biomass heat?
  • This use of residues displaces fossil fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. We estimate that around 8% of all palm residues would be used in this way if all palm oil mills in Indonesia operated on biomass heat and power.
  • What percentage of oil palm biomass is produced in Indonesia?
  • Oil palm fronds account for 70% of the total oil palm biomass produced, while EFB accounts for 10% and oil palm trunks account for only about 5% of the total biomass produced. According to Harahap et al. (2019), Indonesia housed 11 million hectares (Mha) of oil palm plantations and produced 31 million tonnes (Mt) of CPO in 2015.
