Abstract:
With the continued growth of the palm oil industry in Indonesia, the Government of Indonesia has been triggered to set up the national targets for new and renewable energy through biodiesel blend mandatory (B100 program). As more solid and liquid wastes will be generated as a result of biodiesel production, it can be converted to renewable energy using biogas plants. Along with the B100 program, the POME-based biogas development seems could be more notable. However, the biogas technology market in Indonesia is still in a nascent state. This study aims to attempt the macro-environmental factors analysis of the Indonesian biogas industry using PESTLE analysis. With the existence of cross-sectional stakeholders, overlapping, and conflicting interests whose policies and actions may cause obstacles that influence the industry, this paper aims to capture the macro picture of the biogas market and identify its challenges alongside the B100 program. It is concluded that barriers for the deployment of biogas come from the political proactiveness which prioritising biofuel over biogas as new energy source, public opposition in term of wage, environment, and risks for indigenous people, lack of experts and success case to prove new technology implementation, and weak and inconsistency of the law enforcement.
