“…Utilization of waste from the palm oil industry (such as empty fruit bunches, mesocarp fiber, and palm kernel shell) as a source of biomass energy is expected to be one of the efforts to increase the sustainability of palm-based bioenergy [262]. In addition, the use of non-edible parts of plants as a source of bioenergy can also reduce food and energy conflicts [267].…”

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with 17,000 islands of varying sizes and elevations, from lowlands to very high mountains, stretching more than 5000 km eastward from Sabang in Aceh to Merauke in Papua. Although occupying only 1.3% of the world’s land area, Indonesia possesses the third-largest rainforest and the second-highest level of biodiversity, with very high species diversity and endemism. However, during the last two decades, Indonesia has been known as a country with a high level of deforestation, a producer of smoke from burning forests and land, and a producer of carbon emissions. The aim of this paper is to review the environmental history and the long process of Indonesian forest management towards achieving environmental sustainability and community welfare. To do this, we analyze the milestones of Indonesian forest management history, present and future challenges, and provide strategic recommendations toward a viable Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) system. Our review showed that the history of forestry management in Indonesia has evolved through a long process, especially related to contestation over the control of natural resources and supporting policies and regulations. During the process, many efforts have been applied to reduce the deforestation rate, such as a moratorium on permitting primary natural forest and peat land, land rehabilitation and soil conservation, environmental protection, and other significant regulations. Therefore, these efforts should be maintained and improved continuously in the future due to their significant positive impacts on a variety of forest areas toward the achievement of viable SFM. Finally, we conclude that the Indonesian government has struggled to formulate sustainable forest management policies that balance economic, ecological, and social needs, among others, through developing and implementing social forestry instruments, developing and implementing human resource capacity, increasing community literacy, strengthening forest governance by eliminating ambiguity and overlapping regulations, simplification of bureaucracy, revitalization of traditional wisdom, and fair law enforcement.

“…The transition from conventional energy transformation methods to the use of renewable energies invites us to venture into new ways of generating energy through increasingly cleaner sources [1][2][3]. As is the use of biomass material, which, being a residue of agro-industrial processes, can be used for energy generation as indicated in previous studies [4,5]. What leads to studies to generate new forms of energy transformation, is how biomass presents in its composition a high potential in its volatile material, and its fewer polluting emissions are based on a fuel that will have a high content of H 2 and not based on hydrocarbon chains that increase the carbon footprint in its emissions.…”

Renewable energy sources derived from biomass, such as synthesis gases, represent an opportunity to take advantage of available waste resources and contribute to global energy rationing. This study developed an analysis with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to estimate the energy behavior of synthesis gases through a turbocharger system. The synthesis gas used to drive the turbocharger turbine was extracted from the gasification of biomass from the Colombian Caribbean. The application of models for rigid body motion, as well as models of momentum, turbulence, energy, and conservation transport of species, suggest that the energy potential available by the turbine ranges from 0.4 kW to 5.2 kW of power generation, concerning mass flow rates entering the simulated system. The main findings of the study were temperature profiles, speed profiles, rotational speed variation, torque, and mechanical power generated in the turbocharger. It is emphasized that the synthesis gas studied presents a good behavior to generate energy through a turbine system of a turbocharger device.

“…In countries such as Indonesia, rice husks are abundant, serving as readily available sources of biomass [3]. The widely used technique for converting solid materials, such as rice husks into gas fuel is gasification [4][5][6]. Research has extensively explored the use of rice husks and sawdust for energy production through gasification [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Rice husk gasification is increasingly attractive, particularly with updraft gasifier type, because of its simple construction and ease of operation. However, updraft gasifier has a disadvantage of generating substantial amounts of tar. Tar will decompose into combustible gas when exposed to high temperatures. The reduction zone has a high temperature for tar decomposition to occur. Therefore, in this research, updraft gasifier was modified by positioning gas outlet at the reduction zone and inducing gasification air supply using a blower. Modifications are made by moving the gas outlet from the top to the middle or reduction area. The initial start-up of the system uses a blown air supply system, then after the syngas are produced by the operation, it is replaced with a sucked air supply. Two blowers are used, namely an exhalation or blowing blower for initial start and a suction blower for continuous operation. The fuel used was low bulk density, specifically rice husks. The aim was to characterize the modified gasifier, focusing on parameters such as operating time, duration of gas combustion, air-to-rice husks ratio, and flame color. Typically, the experiments were conducted under constant of air velocity and fuel quantity. The results showed that the average operating time, duration of flammable gas, and air-to-rice husks ratio were 74.25 minutes, 52.28 minutes, and 7.6 kg air/kg husk, respectively, and the flame produced was a bluish-yellow color that indicates a reduction tar.
