EEP Indonesia Energy and Environment Partnership with Indonesia

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland is implementing five Energy and Environment Partnership (EEP) programs worldwide. The EEP programs, operational in Central America, the Andean region, Southern and Eastern Africa, the Mekong region countries and Indonesia, support wider access to modern energy services and promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in the selected target countries.

The joint declaration on climate change was signed between the Government of Finland and the Government of Indonesia in Jakarta on 18 February 2008. The Energy and Environment Partnership with Indonesia (EEP Indonesia) programme, implemented in close cooperation with the Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia, is based on this declaration aiming at development of the use of renewable energy and combating climate change in Indonesia in general and in the two programme target provinces, Central Kalimantan and Riau, in particular. Since 2011 EEP Indonesia has organized two calls for proposals and the EEP finance has been distributed to twenty (20) bioenergy related projects implemented in the target provinces. In addition a set of strategic studies, stakeholder seminars, investor forums, study tours and other actions for necessary capacity building have been conducted.

Recently the Government of Indonesia has set ambitious targets to increase the use of renewable energy and in parallel with it reduce GHG emissions. On behalf of the Government of Finland we wish great success for Indonesia in its important efforts to develop the use of renewable energy and combating climate change.

Kai SauerAmbassador of FinlandJakarta, Indonesia

Indonesia is one of the biggest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters in the world. 95 % of the energy used in the country derives from fossil fuels and the total energy consumption is growing more that 6 % per year. Additionally a large proportion of fossil fuels are imported to Indonesia and this weakens the economic development of our country. However, Indonesia has a huge potential of renewable energy sources, such as biomass (biofuels), hydro, wind, solar and geothermal. This potential, which to a very large extent has not been utilized yet, could be used to replace fossils and thus contribute both to the economic development of our country and reduction of GHG emissions. The Government of Indonesia has paid attention to this. Presidential Regulation 5/2006 sets out a target share of 17 % of the total energy consumption for new and renewable energy to be reached by the year 2025.

We have been very pleased to see that the international society is willing to support us to respond to this challenge. The Government of Finland has financed an important programme called Energy and Environment Partnership with Indonesia (EEP Indonesia). This programme contributes to renewable energy, especially bioenergy, related capacity building and policy development at central level in our country and in the provinces of Riau and Central Kalimantan and it provides funding for bioenergy projects. Currently twenty (20) projects are ongoing in the target provinces under the EEP finance. Moreover EEP Indonesia facilitates development of Integrated Regional Energy Master Plans (RUED) both in Riau and Central Kalimantan. We consider these efforts by the EEP Indonesia programme very useful in helping us to reach our targets.

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the Government of Finland for the support and we hope we can continue this very important renewable energy sector co-operation in the future.

Innovation and Knowledge TransferThe Riau Energy Master Plan process is conducted in close cooperation with relevant government institutions, Spektrum Pelangi Indonesia Foundation with its partner mostly working in the roles of a facilitator and a trainer. This guarantees the local ownership of the process and its results. Know-how of the planning process is transferred through a comprehensive training program and learning by doing, also covering the planning software (LEAP). Finally proposals for the district and provincial level Energy Master Plans are presented in the workshops, published and distributed to key stakeholders at district, provincial and national levels.

Relevance to Indonesian Energy and Environment Policy> BeneficiariesRegional Development Planning Agencies and Offices of Mines and Energy both at provincial and district levels constitute the major target institutions of the project. Cooperation with local universities also plays an important role within the implementation of the project.

The Provincial Energy Master Plan is developed for Riau and specific kabupaten (district) level master plans for twelve (12) districts of the province. Seventy-two (72) energy planning experts, covering these districts and the provincial government, are trained in connection with the project.

> Contribution to the energy and environment policies of the Province of Riau and IndonesiaA process to develop the National Energy Master Plan is currently ongoing based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 30/2007 (http://prokum.esdm.go.id/uu/2007/uu-30-2007-en.pdf, http://prokum.esdm.go.id/uu/2007/uu-30-2007.pdf). This law also mandates local governments to formulate Master Plans on Regional Energy (MPRE), often referred to as the Regional Energy Master Plan (RUED, Rencana Umun Energi Daerah), to guide the development of a sustainable, affordable and reliable supply of energy in the regions. The project implemented by the Spektrum Pelangi Indonesia Foundation assists the Province of Riau to achieve this target.

The Energy Master Plan process in Riau also facilitates interaction between the national and regional energy planning. Moreover, the process facilitated in Riau can be used as a model for other provinces and districts for developing required Energy Master Plans (a largely similar planning process is already ongoing in the Province of Central Kalimantan).

Feasibility Study: Creating Biogas from Sago Starch Industry’s Waste Water and Biomass

ObjectivesThe overall objective of this project is the reduction of green house gas emissions and environmental burden derived from sago starch processing in Selat Panjang community in the District (Kabupaten) of Kepulauan Meranti in Riau province. The project purpose is the replacement of electricity generated from diesel oil with electricity generated through biogas in an industrial process. This will be achieved by utilizing wastewater and biomass from sago starch factories for biogas production.

DescriptionIndonesia remains one of the world’s biggest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters with pollution mainly coming from deforestation, land degradation and utilization of fossil fuels. Poor infrastructure and lack of transmission lines often does not enable easy and affordable access to the energy source, especially in the remote areas like the project site Selat Panjang. Nevertheless, Indonesian environmental diversity offers extensive possibilities for utilization of bioenergy, especially biogas for energy production. Biogas production has a great advantage: energy can be produced virtually anywhere (locally) due to a very simple, inexpensive process, which uses natural waste as the primary source for energy generation.

Sago starch processing is a widely spread and very traditional branch of industry in Riau region. SaraRasa’s project looks into feasibility of replacing the electricity source at the sago starch mill site with biogas. The electricity is produced utilizing wastewater and biomass from the starch factory. If seen feasible, numerous sago starch mills can apply the same process replacing utilization of fossil fuels with renewable energy and at the same time reducing environmental burden caused by untreated wastewaters of the sago starch factories.

Practical experience in installation of a biogas reactor will also be beneficial to other biomass utilizing sectors of industry in rural areas of Riau and elsewhere in Indonesia.

By involving the local government and university, the environmental thinking and sustainability values are transferred to the partners. In addition, results of this feasibility study and pilot is presented to the local sago community, local authorities and Riau Sago Starch Association. As a conclusion, a workshop, targeted at representatives of the kabupaten (district), the private sector and other stakeholders, will be organized.

Relevance to Indonesian Energy and Environment Policy> BeneficiariesThe participating sago starch mill, the local community and the sago starch industry in Riau province are the major beneficiaries of SaraRasa’s project.

> Contribution to the energy and environment policies of the Province of Riau and IndonesiaThe Government of Indonesia has set out a target to produce 25 % of the energy mix from renewable sources by the year 2025. SaraRasa’s project responds to this target by contributing to the replacement of fossil fuels with bioenergy, thus also reducing green house gas emissions. Moreover, biogas production from sago starch mills’ wastewater contributes to the economic viability of the starch industry in Riau province and reduces environmental burden caused by untreated wastewaters of the sago starch factories.

Project title: DualChamberGasifierforGasFuel Production from Biomass

Location: RiauLead Partner: PT Dyna EnergyPartners: Badan Permusyawaratan Desa

Kampung Lubuk Dalam Siak District, Riau Province

Total budget: € 288,518Technical focus: BiomasswastegasificationImplementation period:

February, 2013 - February, 2014

Website:Email: [email protected]

Project Profile

DescriptionBiomass is the main important fuel source after fossil fuel, it is available in plentiful and can be generated. There are many types of biomass fuel such as wood fuel, palm oil waste, rice husks, coconut wastes, or grass. Biomass can be converted via complete combustion to generate heat or partial combustion to generate gas fuel or the so called gasification. Biomass power generation system is quite common and can be found all over the world. The conventional combustion system usually used wood as fuel. For biomass residu, such as empty fruit bunch found in agricultural industry, direct combustion is difficult to carry out due to its high alkali content which can create ash agglomeration during combustion process. The best way to benefit from the lignocellulosic material is by using gasification process to decompose the biomass first and then generate synthesis gas (or also called syngas for short) which can be used as gaseous fuel.

ObjectivesTo implement a dual chamber biomass gasification system in the Village of Kampung Dalam in Siak District in Riau to generate cleaner gas fuel that can be used in diesel generator as substitute for fossil fuel.

Dual Chamber Gasifier for Gas Fuel Production from Biomass

The disadvantage of gasification process is the formation of tar as side product, although tar can be eliminated by complete burning. A circulating fluidized system with two separate chambers can be used for this purpose. In this project, a so-called dual chamber gasification process is used which enables the burning of tar within the process cycle. The synthetic gas is then cooled and cleaned so that the gas effluent should comply to the safe operations of diesel engines, that is tar content below 100 mg/m3, maximum ash 50 mg/m3, fineness of dust is less that 10 Ωm and gas temperature is below 40 oC. The syngas can be used in diesel engines to replace up to 70 % of diesel fuel and the savings can be used to return the investment cost. The equipment can be easily constructed and maintained, in 100 – 1000 kW modules. So it can be easily replicated according to the demand.

Fuel gas analysis (Source: PT Dyna Energy)

Innovation and Knowledge TransferThe innovative part of the technology is the preparation of tar free gas fuel from biomass gasification process. By exposing this technology to the people, it is expected that people will have more understanding in new ideas or innovations. Since local people get involved during the initial planning and design stage, it is expected that these people will form a partnership and are capable to duplicate and disseminate the technology.


> BeneficiariesElectricity provider

The beneficiaries of this project are diesel genset operators who provide electricity to village people to reduce about 50% of its cost, that is from Rp 2,800 - 3,000/kWh down to just Rp 1,500/kWh.

> Contribution to the energy and environment policies of the Province of Riau and Indonesia This project will be using biomass waste or organic waste from the agricultural industries and plantations found in Siak region in Riau Province. The project will also help introduce technology advancement in energy sector by increasing the role of biomass as renewable energy sources. This is also in line with the government’s goal to reduce carbon emission by 2020 and help reduce government subsidy on fossil fuel.

Business Development for Integrated Biomass Power Production in Central Kalimantan

DescriptionBy using technologies proven in other Southeast Asian countries, the project seeks to create breakthrough business solutions in the field of agricultural waste-to-energy conversion. The project is located in Kotawaringan Timur, which is one of the largest coconut and oil palm producing regions in Central Kalimantan. The project will establish an integrated approach to use oil palm (e.g., Palm Oil Kernel Shells - POKS) and coconut (e.g., husks, shells) residual biomass for energy production.

The STC Consortium maintains a commercial approach towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions; the project seeks to create a widely replicable and scalable model. The project will commence with a ground survey of smallholder producers to establish the base level of waste biomass in the region and to gather relevant GIS information. Based on supply chain analysis of the biomass flows, the project will then devise an appropriate engineering design and financial model for the facility. Ultimately, the goal is to secure the necessary financial and legal support for a facility that produces 5MW of renewable energy offsetting 25,000 tonnes of CO2.

Email: [email protected]

Project Profile

ObjectivesThe overall objective of the project is to meet regional energy needs and to support rural livelihoods. The consortium, led by PT. STC Indonesia, will develop a Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) based on the utilization of agricultural waste for energy production from the oil palm and coconut sectors. Biomass that is sourced locally and sustainably reduces dependence on fossils fuels while also adding value to waste products. These benefits provide additional income generating opportunities for rural communities without increased environmental impact.

Innovation and Knowledge TransferThis project makes creative use of available waste feedstocks so the final output is devised from the ground up. The use of GIS technology to develop an operational area and feedstock management system, which is communicated through Google Earth, makes for an interactive system that can be shared with local users and governments.

Local communities become the feedstock suppliers and the direct beneficiaries through direct knowledge transfer on how to produce biocharcoal from coconut shells. A small but important paradigm shift is essential as producers cease to view waste as a cost, but value it as a source of income.

Finally, as the goal of the project is to create a model that is replicable, scalable, and fundable by commercial investors, the financial plans will become benchmarks for the incipient industry in the region.


> BeneficiariesBased on the implementation strategy, there are two groups of direct beneficiaries within the project cycle. Firstly, two local field staff and one field coordinator will receive training on GIS data collection, transmission, and analysis. Secondly, during the field surveys, coconut farmers and local entrepreneurs interested in learning how to produce biocharcoal from coconut shells will be identified. They will then receive training through a series of workshops within the region; the target is to access thirty participants.

By the end of the project cycle, the goal is to operationalize the supply chains for the POKS and the coconut biocharcoal, which will lead to new employment opportunities and income generation. Once the facility is fully operational, which will require an estimated 50,000 tonnes of biomass, the target is to create at least 100 new rural employment opportunities.

> Contribution to the energy and environment policies of the Province of Central Kalimantan and Indonesia The opportunity for energy production within Indonesia from biomass is extensive, yet the industry lacks a critical mass of proven models. This project will support investment opportunities by not only establishing the financial viability of the energy facility, but also to work directly with local governments. Strong local partnerships will support government agencies in increasing their capacity regarding the renewable energy sector. In terms of policy, an important aspect for biomass is the stability of feedstock supply, so strong policy enforcement at the local level is critical for devising replicable win-win solutions.

DescriptionInstead of kerosene and gas which often poorly available, families in the project site and other rural areas of Central Kalimantan commonly use firewood for cooking and harvest it from forests surrounding their villages.

The project of Yayasan INOTEK aims to provide an alternative energy and environmental solution for the target villages in the form of biomass stove UB 03 and promote utilization of this type of improved energy efficient cook stove also in the surrounding communities. This innovative stove can save up to 80% of biomass fuel compared to the conventional three-stone fire or the clay stove contributing to forest protection around the villages.

With relatively high efficiency, Biomass Stove UB03 also reduces the amount of smoke from the combustion process, thus making the air in the kitchen cleaner and healthier.

Through the project, 100 energy efficient stoves are taken into use in the Villages of Habaring Hurung and Petuk Bukit. To support the sustainability of the project, training on biomass stove production as well as entrepreneurship is provided.

ObjectivesMassive peat burning during the dry season in a well-known former Proyek Lahan Gambut Sejuta Hektar, ex-Mega Rice (One Million Hectares Rice Cultivation Project) area in Central Kalimantan contributes significantly to the green house gases emissions of Indonesia. To overcome the problem, Yayasan Eka Mandiri proposes combination of technical and socio-economical approaches on biogas production from farming wastes and utilizing the produced biogas by households for cooking as well as electricity for generating farmers’ incomes through small scale enterprises. Application of alley cropping to various farming activities between tree rows supported by production and utilization of biogas will protect the area from uncontrolled burning and illegal peat exploitation.

Production of Biogas from Farming Wastes

DescriptionFarmers in the sub-district of Maliku in Pulang Pisau district practice a cheap but risky slash and burn agriculture. Farmers typically own 2 - 4 hectares of land for plantation and 3 - 5 cows in average. They are aware of the emission of green house gases but are lacking know-how of investments in sustainable agriculture and finance for buying fertilizers. Unused land area often burns during the dry season. In these conditions promotion of development of cattle farming as well as valuable crops and fishery is of extreme importance.

An integrated system, involving 10 farmer households, is demonstrated in the district of Maliku in Central Kalimantan. An area of 18 hectare is dedicated for the demonstration of alley cropping system. Alleys are used for different crops and cattle farming and the biogas production from agricultural wastes is utilized as an energy source for household activities and small scale enterprises.

Promoting Global ConnectionsIn addition to the national support in Indonesia, the project will leverage a wide global network. Apex – New Ventures global network is building bridges across emerging markets for learning and collaboration internationally across the region and beyond. The RE enterprises are prepared to manage growth, attract investment capital and improve their financial, environmental, and social performance.

Innovation and Knowledge TransferThe lead applicant and project partners place a high priority on business innovation and learning and passing these lessons on to stakeholders and participants wherever possible. The project approach is centred on training and mentoring by seasoned individuals in Indonesia. At the end of the project participants will have been exposed to and connect with local and global potential business partners and investors. These connections will drive innovation, collaboration and inspiration well beyond the duration of the project.

Apex-NVI has in-depth knowledge of the renewable energy sector in Indonesia, the regulatory framework, and the various relevant government agencies and ministries. This knowledge allows for unique sector-specific insights, guidance as well as targeted development for Project Developers.


> BeneficiariesThe direct beneficiaries of the project are Renewable Energy Project Developers, Palm Oil Plantations and Financiers operating in Riau and Central Kalimantan working in the bioenergy, biogas, biomass and waste-to-energy sectors through the provision of targeted and customised capacity building/training and investment facilitation support. By working with these direct beneficiaries the project will have a significant positive impact on local communities surrounding project developer installations; increasing rural electrification in both Riau and Central Kalimantan. The mentoring effort will be focused on the content of the training workshops combined with the individual needs of each Project Developer.

An important anticipated impact of the project is its support of sustainable Renewable Energy projects in rural communities through the expansion and development of their projects and services; creating a significant positive effect on the rural poor, ethnic minorities and women by providing electricity to these groups that enable them to further engage in productive economic activity.

> Contribution to the energy and environment policies of the Provinces of Riau and Central Kalimantan and IndonesiaThe project builds on a proven approach that proposes empowering local businesses as a clear path to poverty alleviation, sustainable development, and a shift from reliance on fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Access to renewable energy can be limited in rural areas and remote locations such as Riau and Central Kalimantan. Business support, training, mentoring and networking can enable existing project developers in the renewable energy sector to connect with sustainable palm oil producers, potential investors and other business partnerships that can accelerate growth.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Indonesia • 3,014 metric tons of CO2 in total, one of the largest greenhouse

gas (GHG) emitters of the world (PEACE: Indonesia and Climate Change: Current Status and Policies, World Bank 2007)

• Presidential Regulation for a National Action Plan for Reducing of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2011): Greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced (compared to the “Business-as-Usual” level) by the year 2020

- 26 % through domestic efforts - 41 % if adequate international support were made available

Potential of bioenergyLiquid biofuels• Huge potential, for instance from palm oil

(annual production of CPO 23 million tons), Jatropha Curcas, Nyamplung, Molasses (Sugar Cane), Cassava, Sorghum and Algae

Biogas• Raw material for biogas mainly derived from cow manure,

industrial wastes and municipal solid waste• Livestock, 3 million dairy cows and beef cattle and over

15 million goats, giving a potential for around one million units of biogas digesters (household level)

• Total energy consumption: 1,176 million BOE (2011)• High dependence on fossil energy, proportion of

non-fossils only around 5 %• Net importer of oil (since 2003)• Electrification ratio: 73% (2013)• The increase in energy demand is not matched by

an adequate supply, both in terms of quantity and equitable distribution, inadequate energy infrastructure in rural/remote areas and outer islands

Indonesia - geography, demographics and energy consumption• A vast equatorial archipelago of

around 17,000 islands extending 5,150 kilometers east to west

• Population: 240 million• Land area: 2 million km2

Energy sector – current status

Future development, policy direction• Presidential Decree No.5/2006 on National Energy Policy sets a target share of 17 % of the total energy

consumption for renewable energy to be reached by the year 2025
