Energy demand in Indonesia has been increasing year by year, yet the energy supply is still unable to keep pace with the country’s needs. Energy demand in Indonesia comes from the industrial, transportation, and commercial sectors (Anindhita et al., 2015).
Currently, energy demand still relies heavily on fossil energy sources. One of the factors contributing to the high energy demand in the industrial and transportation sectors is the use of outdated technology in both sectors, which has low efficiency. Additionally, these sectors remain highly dependent on fossil fuel sources.
Indonesia is one of the world’s leading producers of palm oil. On average, nearly 25 million tons of oil palm fruit are produced annually, with only a small percentage processed into CPO in factories, while the rest becomes waste. Much of this palm oil waste is still underutilized, with the remainder being discarded into the environment. One of the potential uses of palm oil waste is as a renewable energy source, both from solid and liquid waste. Renewable energy from this waste can take the form of biogas, biomass, and bioethanol. For biogas production, one potential feedstock is solid palm waste, namely Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB).
Biogas production from EFB involves two main reactors: the Saccharification Reactor (R-101) operating at 50 °C and 1 atm, for the hydrolysis of cellulose in EFB into glucose with the help of cellulase enzymes; and the Digester (D-101) operating at 40 °C and 1 atm, for converting glucose into methane with the aid of Methanogenic Sohngenii and Acetobacter aceti microorganisms. The produced biogas is purified using a membrane to separate methane from carbon dioxide impurities, forming biogas with 99.5% purity.
This company is a limited liability company (PT) led by a president director, with a total of 112 employees. Based on the conducted economic feasibility analysis, it can be concluded that the design of the biogas plant from EFB as an alternative gaseous fuel is feasible to establish.
1. Economic feasibility analysis results for the biogas plant:
2. NCF PV at 9.95% interest rate: IDR 243.69 billion
3. Minimum Payback Period (MPP): 4 years, 5 months, 10 days
4. Internal Rate of Return (IRR): 32.21%
