Palm oil as an agricultural commodity plays an important role in the development of the Indonesian economy, considering it in producing vegetable oil. Policies for developing new and renewable energy in Indonesia aims to encourage the optimization of the use of biofuels from oil palm. This policy still raises pros and cons, so that analysis needs to be carried out through an environmental science perspective. This study aims to assess the sustainability of palm oil (CPO) as a basic material for making biodiesel from environmental, social, and economic aspects, as well as to provide recommendations on a sustainable palm oil biodiesel policy strategy. The method used is a qualitative analysis. Descriptive analysis of supporting literature is used to assess environmental, social, and economic aspects of palm oil-based biodiesel sustainability in Indonesia. The use of biodiesel in the country is expected to be sustainable in line with the stipulation of the mandatory biodiesel of 30 percent (B30) in 2019 by the Government as a substitute for fuel mixture. It was found that there are advantages to using palm oil-based biodiesel compared to other vegetable oils. Palm oil-based biodiesel can be produced in a sustainable manner.

An increase in the area of built-up space can lead to a decrease in the green open space of urban forest in industrial areas so that the minimum standard for urban forest area is not met. One of the environmental management that can provide thermal comfort in industrial areas is urban forests. This article aims to analyze and evaluate the availability and needs of urban forest vegetation to provide thermal comfort in industrial estates by utilizing Landsat 8 satellite imagery. The methods used in this article are qualitative and quantitative analysis. The qualitative methods were using secondary data in the form of literature studies. Meanwhile, the quantitative methods were following to obtain information on the availability and needs of urban forest vegetation using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) method on Landsat 8 images. The analysis of urban forest vegetation in industrial areas found that forest vegetation city in industrial area X has a fairly low area. The distribution is not evenly distributed and only at a few points. The current urban forest vegetation needs for each workforce in industrial areas X is 3.96 m2 / person.

Indonesia is one of countries committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To support this commitment, Indonesia enact regulation regarding Acceleration of the Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicle Program for road transportation (Perpres RI No. 55/2019). Since the enactment of these regulations, developments in the demand for electric vehicles (EV) have increased. The main impact of the transition is the construction of electricity charging infrastructure for EV. Currently Jakarta already have 721 public EV charging station to support EV population in Jakarta and this study will analyse if the current number and area that have been determined is already sufficient. The study will use population-based equation from literature review to compare ideal number of public EV charging station with actual number that have been installed. The result is number of existing installed public EV charging station in Jakarta (721 ea) is still sufficient to support EV development program in Jakarta, however from physical observation it is necessary to reassess current area that had been installed for public EV charging station to be comply with minimum requirement of public EV charging station. Future work will require assessment of all installed public EV charging station and efficiency of the charging station in term of location and ease of usage.
