Formulating Interest Subsidy Program to Support the Development of Electricity Generation from Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) Biomass: An Indonesian Case Study

Abstract

Abstract. This paper analyses financial feasibility and cost-benefit and formulates the relevant subsidy program that is currently implemented by the government. We find that providing interest subsidy is financially feasible only if it serves to substitute the consumption of diesel. The benefits are higher than the costs among three types (45 t, 60 t and 75 t) of the palm waste generator capacity. The paper also reveals that Credit Program is relevant with the objective, to provide interest subsidy to farmers, but certain adaptations are required.

“…Humans produce organic waste daily. In this case, organic waste is waste that can be converted into energy, such as agricultural waste, household kitchen waste, human waste (excreta disposal from septic tanks), animal waste, and so on (Adinurani et al, 2018;Herry, et al, 2020;Heryadi et al, 2018;Heryadi et al, 2019a;Heryadi et al, 2019b, Leela et al, 2018Prabowo et al, 2017;Syaifudin et al, 2018a;Syaifudin et al, 2018b;Setyobudi et al, 2012a;Setyobudi et al, 2012b;Setyobudi et al, 2018;Setyobudi et al, 2019). The term household kitchen waste is not limited to civilian household kitchen waste but includes food waste generated by hotel kitchens, restaurants, and also the waste food from supermarkets (Ramadhita et al, 2021).…”

Smart Culture of Spirulina Using Supernatant of Digested Rotten Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) to Produce Protein, Bio-Fuel and Bio-Electricity

“…The beta carotene and other carotenoids are suggested to have role in the control of cancer in human, and enhancement of pigmentation of eggs, meats of hens 187 & birds [14,15], and coloration of ornamental fish & fish fillet [16]. Bio-fuel can be produced from lipids of spirulina [8] and bioelectricity may be produced in culture systems of spirulina in different media using biophotovoltaic device and measured by volta meter and HEQEP CP 6014 G2 [17,12]. The quality of about 12-15% vegetable and fruits become deteriorated during storage and marketing, and are sold for human consumption producing considerable amount of waste.…”
