Policy Impact on Economic Viability of Biomass Gasification Systems in Indonesia

Abstract: Indonesia is facing challenges on the lack of electricity access in rural areas and the management of agricultural waste. The utilization of waste-to-energy technology can help in mitigating these issues. The aim of this paper is to assess the economic viability of a biomass gasification system for rural electrification by investigating its competitiveness in relation to various government supports. Financial modelling is applied to calculate Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Levelize… Show more

“…This is clearly reflected by a literature review of the previous SDEWES special issues which include a large number of papers investigating this topic, summarized in the following Table 4. In this field, biogas and gasified biomass are probably the most promising bio-fuels for their potential to decarbonize energy systems [116][117][118][119]. Gaida et al [105] presented a detailed review of different strategies to control substrate feed in anaerobic digesters.…”

“…Tabata et al ( 2021 ) investigated interactions between woody biomass energy systems and natural ecosystem. Policy impact on the economic viability of biomass gasification systems in Indonesia was discussed by Sriwannawit et al ( 2016 ). Mikulandrić et al ( 2020 ) modelled temperature distribution and syngas composition in a fixed bed biomass gasifier using advanced mathematical tools.…”

“…The process of biomass gasification is a high-temperature partial oxidation process in which a solid carbon based feedstock is converted using gasification agents into what is called 'raw syngas' -a gaseous mixture (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, light hydrocarbons), tar, char, ash and minor contaminants [1]. Due to the decentralized utilization of biomass, small and middle-scale biomass gasification plants for separate or combined heat and power generation [2] and trigeneration [3] have potential to become rational, efficient and economically viable way of energy conversion and power generation [4] even without governmental subsidies [5]. Syngas can be also used for hydrogen production through various available thermal processes [6], methanol synthesis [7] and for other applications [8].…”
