The Indonesian government has followed up the Paris Agreement with Law No. 16 of 2016 by setting an ambitious emission reduction target of 29% by 2030, and this figure could even increase to 41% if supported by international assistance. In line with this, mitigation efforts are carried out in the energy sector. Especially in the energy sector, it can have a significant impact when compared to other sectors due to an increase in energy demand, rapid economic growth, and an increase in living standards that will push the rate of emission growth in the energy sector up to 6. 7% per year. The bottom-up AIM/end-use energy model can select the technologies in the energy sector that are optimal in reducing emissions and costs as a long-term strategy in developing national low-carbon technology. This model can use the Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) approach to evaluate the potential for GHG emission reductions by adding a certain amount of costs for each selected technology in the target year compared to the reference technology in the baseline scenario. In this study, three scenarios were used as mitigation actions, namely CM1, CM2, CM3. The Abatement Cost Curve tools with an assumed optimum tax value of 100 USD/ton CO2eq, in the highest GHG emission reduction potential, are in the CM3 scenario, which has the most significant reduction potential, and the mitigation costs are not much different from other scenarios. For example, PLTU – supercritical, which can reduce a significant GHG of 37.39 Mtoe CO2eq with an emission reduction cost of -23.66 $/Mtoe CO2eq.
One of the problems with oil production is stuck of oil transportation flow in the pipeline caused by wax deposits. The high wax content in crude oil causes the oil viscosity value to increase so that crude oil has High Pour Point Oil (HPPO) properties. In this research, using crude oil sample with initial pour point of 31oC and viscosity of 556 cP. This samples are classified as heavy oil. Therefore, this sample is suitable for use as an experiment in this research. There are several methods to deal with HPPO. One chemical method used to overcome this problem is adding Pour Point Depressant (PPD) to crude oil. This PPD functions to decrease pour point value by binding wax crystals in crude oil. In this study, two types of PPD were compared, Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) and Nano-Montmorillonite (Nano-MMT). Both can reduce the pour point value on crude oil, but PPD EVA shows a more excellent reduction than nano-MMT. The results show that EVA is better at binding crystals than nano-MMT. After the injection of 400 ppm EVA, the pour point value of crude oil could be decreased up to 24oC, and the viscosity also decreased by 185 cP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
