The current study makes use of life cycle assessment to evaluate the potential greenhouse gas (GHG) savings in coal electricity generation by 5% co-firing with sorghum pellets. The research models the utilization of 100 thousand hectares of under-utilized marginal land in Flores (Indonesia) for biomass sorghum cultivation. Based on equivalent energy content, 1.12 tons of pellets can substitute one ton of coal. The calculated fossil energy ratio of the pellets was 5.8, indicating that the production of pellets for fuel is energetically feasible. Based on a biomass yield of 48 ton/ha•yr, 4.8 million tons of pellets can be produced annually. In comparison with a coal system, the combustion of only pellets to generate 8,300 GWh of electricity can reduce global warming impacts by 7.9 million tons of CO2-eq, which is equivalent to an 85% reduction in GHG emissions. However, these results changed when reduced biomass yield of 24 ton/ha•yr, biomass loss, field emissions, and incomplete combustion were considered in the model. A sensitivity analysis of the above factors showed that the potential GHG savings could decrease from the initially projected 85% to as low as 70%. Overall, the production of sorghum pellets in Flores and their utilization for electricity generation can significantly reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to climate change mitigation. Some limitations to these conclusions were also discussed herein. The results of this scenario study can assist the Indonesian government in exploring the potential utilization of marginal land for bioenergy development, both in Indonesia and beyond.

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with abundant marine wealth that makes it the world's second largest producer of fish after China. While most of Indonesia's capture marine fisheries (80%) are consumed domestically, around 90% of blue swimming crab (BSC) products are exported, mainly in cans. This makes up almost half of all BSC products on the global market, with the United States and the European Union being the main importers. We carried out a life cycle assessment (LCA) of canned BSC products from Indonesia. Our LCA evaluated the production of "one tonne of canned BSC" at market as a functional unit (FU), with a cradle-to-market system boundary, encompassing wild capture, preprocessing, processing, and distribution to the port of destination at home and abroad. The processing stage was found to be the highest contributor (hotspot) for most of the impact categories considered, mainly due to the use of tin cans for packaging. Despite producing less by-catch, BSC caught with traps resulted in around threefold greater global warming impact per FU than those caught using nets.We also concluded that BSC meat produced in Java is environmentally preferable to that from Sumatra, as most of the shells were sold as coproducts. In addition to recycling and substitution of packaging materials, environmental improvements can also be obtained by increasing the number of shell-processing facilities outside Java. The results of this study can be used by the Indonesian government to develop more sustainable practices to avoid overexploitation of BSC and limit its environmental impacts.

China, as the largest consumer, producer, importer, and exporter of seafood in the world, is likely to see seafood consumption outstrip domestic production by 2030 (Crona et al.,

Secara statistik, sumbangsih usaha mikro kecil menengah (UMKM) terhadap nilai PDB di Indonesia lebih dominan dibanding usaha besar (UB). Oleh sebab itu, upaya peningkatan kinerja UMKM di masa pandemi covid-19 ini perlu dilakukan untuk menjaga stabilitas ekonomi negara. Salah satunya adalah dengan melakukan sosialisasi kepada pada para pelaku UMKM tentang manajemen pemasaran melalui kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PKM). Artikel ini memuat hasil dan diskusi terkait kegiatan PKM yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa magister manajemen Universitas Pamulang di Desa Situ Gadung, kecamatan Cisauk, kabupaten Tangerang, Banten. Tujuannya adalah untuk meningkatkan kinerja ekonomi pelaku UMKM di wilayah tersebut. Metode yang digunakan berupa pemaparan materi secara langsung dan uji pemahaman melalui pengisian kuesioner, yaitu pre-test dan post-test. Hasil analisis t-test menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan antara nilai pre-test dan post-test signifikan, yaitu nilai post-test lebih tinggi dibanding pre-test. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan PKM ini memberikan manfaat bagi para pelaku UMKM di Desa Situ Gadung. Saran dari penulis adalah menyertakan kegiatan santai berupa kuis atau permainan yang interaktif untuk kegiatan PKM selanjutnya. Hal ini diperlukan agar para hadirin yang mengikuti kegiatan tersebut lebih antusias, sehingga keefektifan penyampaian materi menjadi lebih optimal.
