Seiring dengan meningkatnya kesadaran akan perubahan iklim, pemerintah Indonesia semakin mendorong berbagai sektor industri untuk mengurangi emisi karbon. Hal ini dilakukan melalui penerapan regulasi dan inisiatif yang mendukung pengurangan emisi gas rumah kaca. Salah satu solusi yang mulai populer adalah carbon credit, yang tidak hanya membantu industri mengurangi dampak lingkungannya tetapi juga memberikan peluang untuk mendapatkan pendapatan tambahan.

Carbon credit adalah bentuk insentif dalam upaya pengurangan emisi. Perusahaan yang memenuhi kriteria tertentu, seperti regulasi program pengurangan emisi, dapat menghasilkan atau membeli kredit karbon sebagai kompensasi atas emisi yang mereka hasilkan. Salah satu cara memperoleh carbon credit adalah dengan memproduksi biochar, sebuah material yang kaya akan karbon yang dihasilkan dari pengolahan biomassa melalui proses pirolisis.

 Artikel ini akan membahas apa itu carbon credit, perbedaannya dengan perdagangan karbon, potensi produksi biochar sebagai solusi pengurangan emisi, dan bagaimana sektor industri di Indonesia dapat memanfaatkannya.

Apa itu Carbon Credit?

Carbon credit adalah sertifikat yang mewakili pengurangan emisi sebesar satu ton karbon dioksida (1000 kg) atau gas rumah kaca lainnya. Perusahaan yang berhasil mengurangi emisi mereka dapat menjual kredit karbon ini kepada perusahaan lain yang tidak dapat melakukan pengurangan emisi, tetapi ingin menunjukkan kredibilitas lingkungan mereka.

 

Carbon Trading

Perdagangan karbon adalah sistem di mana perusahaan dapat membeli dan menjual kredit karbon tersebut di pasar terbuka. Perdagangan ini membantu mengalihkan tanggung jawab pengurangan emisi kepada pihak yang memiliki kemampuan untuk melakukannya dengan lebih efisien. Dengan sistem ini, perusahaan yang tidak mampu mengurangi emisi secara langsung bisa memenuhi kewajiban mereka dengan membeli kredit dari pihak lain yang telah berhasil mengurangi emisi lebih banyak.

Perbedaan antara carbon credit dan perdagangan karbon terletak pada fungsinya: carbon credit adalah unit yang mewakili pengurangan emisi, sedangkan perdagangan karbon adalah mekanisme yang memungkinkan kredit tersebut diperjualbelikan. Keduanya saling berhubungan erat dalam upaya global untuk menekan emisi gas rumah kaca.

Biochar sebagai Salah Satu Cara Mendapatkan Carbon Credit

Salah satu cara untuk mendapatkan carbon credit di Indonesia adalah melalui produksi biochar. Biochar dihasilkan melalui proses pirolisis, di mana biomassa dipanaskan dalam kondisi tanpa oksigen untuk menghasilkan material karbon yang sangat stabil. Karbon yang terkandung dalam material organik terkunci dalam struktur biochar yang dihasilkan. Oleh karena itu, teknologi yang digunakan bersifat karbon negatif. Selain itu, karena kandungan karbonnya yang tinggi, biochar mencegah karbon dilepaskan ke atmosfer dengan menstabilkannya dalam bentuk padat, menjadikannya alat yang efektif untuk penyerapan karbon (carbon sequestration) jangka panjang dan mengurangi emisi karbon.

Potensi Biomassa di Indonesia

Indonesia adalah salah satu negara penghasil biomassa terbesar di dunia. Limbah dari sektor pertanian, perkebunan, dan kehutanan dapat diolah menjadi biochar melalui penggunaan pirolisis. Teknologi ini tidak hanya mengurangi limbah dan emisi gas rumah kaca, tetapi juga memberikan manfaat ekonomi bagi industri yang beralih ke solusi energi terbarukan.

Industri kelapa sawit, misalnya, memiliki potensi besar untuk memanfaatkan teknologi pirolisis dalam mengolah limbah biomassa menjadi biochar. Berdasarkan data Asosiasi Biogas Indonesia (ABgI), di Indonesia ada 895 unit pabrik kelapa sawit yang beroperasi. Apabila semua kapasitasnya adalah 60 tph Tandan Buah Segar (TBS), dan menghasilkan 90.000 ton limbah padat dan 241.200 ton limbah cair dalam setahun, maka di Indonesia ada 80,5 juta ton/tahun limbah padat yang dihasilkan. Limbah padat dari industri kelapa sawit adalah seperti cangkang sawit, tandan kosong, dan serat buah.

Dengan sumber daya biomassa yang melimpah, biochar dapat menjadi solusi efektif dan menguntungkan untuk pengurangan emisi di sektor ini. Sehingga, pirolisis dapat menjadi langkah penting dalam perdagangan karbon, memungkinkan industri di Indonesia untuk berkontribusi lebih besar dalam skema carbon credit global.

    As awareness of climate change increases, the Indonesian government encourages various industrial sectors to reduce carbon emissions. The government implements regulations and initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One solution gaining popularity is carbon credits, which help industries not only reduce their environmental impact but also earn additional revenue.

    Carbon credits serve as an incentive for companies to reduce emissions. Companies that follow regulated emissions reduction programs or meet specific criteria can generate or buy carbon credits as compensation for their emissions. One way for companies to obtain carbon credits is by producing biochar, a carbon-rich material created from biomass processing through pyrolysis.

    This article will discuss what carbon credits are and how they differ from carbon trading. The production of biochar as an emission reduction solution has great potential. The article highlightshow the industrial sector in Indonesia can take advantage of it.

    What is Carbon Credit?

    A carbon credit is a certificate that represents a reduction of one ton (1,000 kg) of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Companies that successfully reduce their emissions can sell these carbon credits to other companies that cannot reduce their emissions but want to demonstrate their environmental responsibility.

     

    Carbon Trading

    In carbon trading, companies buy and sell carbon credits on the open market. This system shifts the responsibility of reducing emissions to those who can do so more efficiently. Companies that cannot directly reduce emissions meet their obligations by purchasing credits from other companies that manage to reduce emissions effectively.

    The key difference between carbon credits and carbon trading lies in their functions: carbon credits represent emission reductions, while carbon trading provides a platform for trading those credits. Both play interconnected roles in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

     

    Biochar as One Way to Get Carbon Credits

    One way to obtain carbon credits in Indonesia is through biochar production. Biochar is produced through a the process of pyrolysis, in which biomass is heated in conditions without oxygen to produce a highly stable carbon material. The carbon in organic material is locked up within the structure of the resultant biochar. The technology used is therefore carbon negative. Also,  due to its high carbon content, biochar prevents carbon from being released into the atmosphere by stabilizing it in a solid form, making it an effective tool for long-term carbon sequestration and reducing carbon emissions.

    The Potential of Biomass in Indonesia

    [edm_gallery gallery_ids=”34776,34777,34780″ gallery_layout=”masonry” gallery_col_padding=”1px” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” max_height=”1000px” global_colors_info=”{}”][/edm_gallery]

    Indonesia ranks as one of the largest biomass producers globally. Waste from agriculture, palm oil plantations, and the forestry sector can be processed into biochar through pyrolysis technology. Not only does this technology help reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions, but it also offers significant economic benefits for industries transitioning to renewable energy solutions.

    For instance, the palm oil industry holds great potential to leverage pyrolysis technology in converting biomass waste into biochar. According to data from the Indonesian Biogas Association (ABgI), numerous palm oil mills operate across Indonesia. If a mill processes 60 tons per hour (tph) of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB), it generates around 90,000 tons of solid waste and 241,200 tons of liquid waste annually. This means the entire industry in Indonesia produces about 80.5 million tons of solid waste each year, including palm shells, empty fruit bunches, and fruit fiber.

    Given the abundance of biomass resources, biochar production offers an effective and profitable solution for emission reduction in the palm oil sector. Consequently, adopting pyrolysis can become a key step in carbon trading, enabling Indonesian industries to contribute more actively to global carbon credit schemes.

     

    Regulations in Indonesia

    Regulations in Indonesia to Encourage Emission Reduction and Renewable Energy

    In response to rising global temperatures, the Indonesian government has introduced stricter regulations to reduce emissions and has increased its commitment to renewable energy. As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Indonesia implemented new regulations in 2023 and 2024 that emphasize the necessary steps to meet national climate targets. By 2025, the government aims for renewable energy to contribute 23% of the country’s baseload energy requirements.

     

    Some important regulations that support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy transition in Indonesia include:

        1. Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 112 of 2022: Regulates the acceleration of renewable energy development, especially new and renewable energy-based power plants.
        2. Government Regulation (PP) No. 79 of 2014: Directs national energy policies that target significant reductions in carbon emissions and increase the role of renewable energy.
        3. Law (UU) No. 30 of 2007: Regulates energy, including the development of renewable energy as one of the priorities to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
        4. Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 50 of 2017: Providing incentives for companies that use renewable energy, including special tariffs for renewable energy projects.

    Regulations Related to Carbon Credits in Indonesia

    In addition to encouraging the use of renewable energy, Indonesia also strengthens regulations on carbon trading through various policies, including:

    1. Presidential Regulation No. 98 of 2021: Regulates the implementation of carbon economic value to achieve greenhouse gas emission control targets.
    2. Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) No. 14 of 2023: Facilitate green financing and carbon trading, including guidance for entities wishing to engage in carbon trading schemes.
    3. Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 21 of 2022: Regulates the mechanism for the implementation and registration of activities related to carbon credits.

      Biochar and Pyrolysis: Environmental Impact, Technology, and Production Method

      Biochar and Pyrolysis: Environmental Impact, Technology, and Production Method

      by | Sep 26, 2024

      Written by

      Carbon credits from biochar are gaining attention in Indonesia, especially among palm oil and agriculture companies. These industries actively seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint and enhance their sustainability image. The market for biochar-based carbon credits in Indonesia is still in its early stages, but it shows promising growth potential.

      As awareness about biochar’s benefits and the opportunities for carbon credits rises, we expect demand to increase in the future. In this article, we explore biochar, its production process, and its connection to carbon credits.

      What is Biochar and how is it Produced?

      What is a Biochar?

      Biochar is an organic material created by heating biomass in an oxygen-free environment. This process, called pyrolysis, produces a stable form of carbon that offers several environmental benefits. Biochar improves soil health when used as a soil amendment, and it also serves as a tool for carbon sequestration, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

      The biomass used in biochar production comes from various sources, including agricultural waste, landfill materials, and animal waste. The characteristics of the feedstock directly influence the type and quality of carbon present in the biochar. For instance, using agricultural waste can yield a biochar that is particularly effective in nutrient retention and pH regulation.

      Biochar’s primary agricultural benefits include soil enhancement, nutrient retention, and pH regulation. Beyond agriculture, biochar also plays a role in generating carbon credits—tradable certificates representing reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

      Pyrolysis for Biochar production

      Biochar production relies on pyrolysis technology, which involves heating organic material in the absence of oxygen. At Organics, we have developed an in-house pyrolysis system called Pyroclast®. Designed for final waste disposal and carbon production, Pyroclast® offers flexibility in its applications. Whether the focus is on waste disposal, recycling, energy production, or biochar generation, Pyroclast® can adapt to meet customer needs.

      The system effectively handles a variety of feedstocks, including waste wood, bamboo, and digestate from anaerobic digestion. Each feedstock produces biochar with unique properties, making Pyroclast® a versatile tool in sustainable waste management and carbon production.

      The Process of Pyrolysis for Biochar Production

      Unlike incineration, pyrolysis operates within a closed-loop chamber, without oxygen or flames. Organics’ Pyroclast® system can handle between 3.6 and 240 tonnes of dry feedstock per day and between 6 and 40 tonnes per day for wet feedstock. The system includes several key components:

        • Waste reception and feed
        • Drier
        • Pyrolyser
        • Thermal oxidiser for steam
        • Cycle
        • Boiler and steam turbine
        • Gas clean-up for pyrogas
        • Engine cycle
        • Gas engine or gas turbine

      The Pyrolysis Process:

      1. Biomass conditioning: Before entering the pyrolysis reactor, the feedstock must meet certain specifications. Typically, biomass is shredded to a maximum size of 20-50 mm and conditioned to a moisture content below 20%, which is ideal for biochar production. Proper conditioning ensures efficient processing and high-quality biochar.

      2. Thermal Decomposition: After conditioning, the biomass enters the pyrolyser (or Pyroclast® reactor) and undergoes carbonization at temperatures ranging from 450-800°C. In this patented tube-screw reactor, the biomass stays for up to 30 minutes without exposure to air. This process is called as thermal degradation process which converts solid waste into gas, which is called as pyrogas or syngas, depends on the process mechanism. The solid residue from the process is called Biochar, from organic contents (biomass) or carbon char.

      3. Gas disposal: To prevent environmental pollution, the produced gas is immediately treated in a high-temperature thermal oxidizer, where it is destroyed before it can be emitted into the atmosphere. Any excess heat generated during the process is safely disposed of to ensure maximum environmental protection

      Properties of Biochar

      Biochar primarily consists of stable carbon, and its composition varies based on the biomass feedstock and the pyrolysis conditions, such as temperature, heating rate, and duration. Key components of biochar include:

      Fixed Carbon

      This stable form of carbon makes up the majority of biochar. Fixed carbon does not easily vaporize or decompose, contributing to biochar’s long-term stability in soil. This property is crucial for carbon sequestration and reducing decomposition rates.

      Volatile Matter

      While most volatile compounds are driven off during pyrolysis, some carbon-based chemicals remain that can vaporize more easily. The amount of volatile matter decreases as the pyrolysis temperature increases.

      Ash

      Though not carbon-based, ash forms a significant part of biochar. It consists of minerals and salts from the original biomass, which can enhance soil fertility when biochar is used as a soil amendment.

      Graphitic Carbon

      At higher pyrolysis temperatures, some biochar carbon can form highly ordered graphitic structures, which are exceptionally stable and contribute to the durability of biochar.

      Other Important Parameters of Biochar:

        • Moisture Content: This affects the drying process and can reduce the overall effectiveness of the biochar.
        • Surface Area and Porosity: These characteristics are essential for water retention and provide a habitat for beneficial microorganisms.
        • pH level: Biochar influences soil pH when used as an amendment, making it important for balancing soil acidity.
        • Nutrient Content: The effectiveness of biochar as a soil enhancer depends on its nutrient content.
        • Stability: This determines how long biochar will last in soil and how effectively it sequesters carbon over time.

      Biochar Roles in Environmental Management, Agriculture, and Industry

      Biochar Roles in Environmental Management

      Biochar plays a crucial role in environmental management by aiding carbon sequestration and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Through photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), storing carbon within their structures while releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. However, when plants die or are cut down, this stored carbon typically returns to the atmosphere as CO2, contributing to global warming.

      Biochar offers a solution through two primary mechanisms:

      Carbon Capture

      During pyrolysis, organic materials like agricultural waste are heated, releasing volatile gases and leaving behind carbon-rich biochar. This process effectively captures carbon by preventing it from being emitted as CO2.

      Long-Term Carbon Storage

      Once applied to soil, biochar serves as a long-term carbon sink due to its resistance to decomposition. This durable carbon storage method can sequester carbon for decades or even centuries, preventing its re-entry into the atmosphere through natural decay processes.

      Additionally, biochar mitigates nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, another potent greenhouse gas. When applied to agricultural soils, biochar creates a stable environment for microorganisms involved in nitrogen cycling. Its porous structure and chemical properties help retain nutrients, minimizing the production and release of N2O, which often occurs in nitrogen-rich environments through microbial processes.

      In summary, biochar captures carbon during pyrolysis, sequesters it in soils, and reduces harmful N2O emissions. These combined benefits make biochar a powerful tool for combating climate change while enhancing soil health and promoting sustainable agriculture.

      Biochar as an Energy Source

      Beyond its environmental benefits, biochar can also be utilized for energy production. Pyrolysis produces not only biochar but also syngas and bio-oil, both of which can be harnessed as renewable energy sources. Syngas can power electricity generation, heating systems, or serve as a feedstock for chemical production, while bio-oil can function as an alternative fuel or be refined into various bioproducts. This dual functionality makes biochar production highly sustainable, providing both carbon capture and renewable energy from biomass waste management.

      Applications of Biochar in Agriculture

      Biochar offers numerous benefits in agriculture, improving soil health and enhancing productivity. By increasing soil water retention, promoting nutrient cycling, and fostering microbial activity, biochar supports healthier and more productive soils. Moreover, it provides a habitat for beneficial soil organisms that boost plant growth.

      Soil Improvement

      Biochar enhances soil water retention, nutrient cycling, and microbial diversity, which leads to more productive soils. Its porous structure also creates a habitat for beneficial microbes that aid plant growth and suppress harmful pathogens.

      Nutrient Retention

      With its high cation exchange capacity (CEC), biochar retains vital nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus, and calcium. By preventing nutrient runoff and leaching, it ensures plants receive a steady supply of nutrients over time.

      pH Regulation

      Biochar influences soil pH depending on its source. It can be neutral, slightly alkaline, or acidic, helping regulate soil pH and optimize conditions for plant growth and nutrient absorption.

      Disease and Pest Management

      By enhancing microbial diversity in the soil, biochar indirectly helps control diseases and pests. Beneficial microbes thrive in biochar-amended soils, suppressing harmful pathogens, while biochar’s porous structure can act as a barrier against some pests.

      Water Management

      Biochar significantly boosts soil water retention, reducing evaporation and improving water availability to plants. This makes it particularly beneficial in drought-prone regions or sandy soils with poor water retention.

      In addition to sequestering carbon, biochar provides co-benefits like reducing nutrient runoff, enhancing soil fertility, and lowering the need for synthetic fertilizers. These advantages contribute to more sustainable agriculture and offer both environmental and economic benefits.

      Applications of Biochar in Industry

      Biochar, a carbon-rich byproduct of pyrolysis, is rapidly gaining traction across various industries due to its sustainability and environmental benefits. One promising sector is construction, where researchers are exploring the incorporation of biochar into materials like concrete, cement, and asphalt. This not only improves material properties but also enhances carbon sequestration, making biochar a valuable tool for reducing industrial carbon footprints.

      Construction Industry

      Concrete

      Concrete, made from cement, aggregates, and water, is one of the most widely used materials in construction. By partially replacing cement with biochar, researchers have discovered improvements in material properties, such as reduced density and enhanced thermal insulation. In some cases, biochar has the potential to improve mechanical strength. Moreover, incorporating biochar offsets carbon emissions from cement production by sequestering carbon within the concrete itself.

      Cement Production

      Cement production is infamous for its significant carbon dioxide emissions. By integrating biochar as a partial substitute, companies can produce low-carbon or even carbon-neutral cement alternatives. This method significantly reduces the carbon footprint of cement production while simultaneously promoting long-term carbon sequestration, aligning with global sustainability targets.

      Asphalt

      In road construction, biochar shows great promise when added to asphalt mixtures. Research indicates that biochar can enhance the mechanical properties of asphalt, such as durability and resistance to cracking. These improvements extend the lifespan of road surfaces while also contributing to carbon capture, offering both functional and environmental benefits.

      Pharmaceutical Industry, Healthcare, Research or Laboratory

      Biochar also plays an important role in waste management within the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. It offers a solution for the safe disposal of hazardous and clinical waste streams, adhering to stringent environmental standards. Pyrolysis systems can convert mixed municipal solid waste into pyrolysis gases, which are then captured and repurposed for ethanol or methane production. This not only addresses waste disposal challenges but also generates recoverable energy, turning waste into a valuable resource.

      Other Industry Applications

      At appropriate operating temperatures, pyrolysis systems can efficiently manage industrial waste, including scrapped vehicles and used tires, while simultaneously generating power. These systems significantly reduce waste volume by transforming it into useful commodities, such as syngas and biochar, making them an effective solution for sustainable industrial waste management.

      Case Study: Pyrolysis of RDF, Puerto Montt, Chile

      In Puerto Montt, Chile, a pyrolysis project processes Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) from fish processing waste, including plastics. This innovative approach significantly reduces landfill waste while generating heat energy for on-site use or export. Additionally, the process dries the RDF, increasing its energy efficiency.

      The benefits of this project include reduced waste generation, decreased reliance on fossil fuels, and the recovery of valuable materials. Operating in an oxygen-depleted environment, this process also reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional waste disposal methods. With the capacity to process up to 1,000 kg per hour of wet RDF, this project serves as a model of sustainable waste management with substantial environmental and economic advantages.

      Palm oil mills have great potential to support the transition to renewable energy through effective waste management. One innovative way that is gaining attention is the utilization of liquid waste such as POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) to produce biogas, a solution that not only reduces environmental impact but also provides long-term economic benefits. By processing solid waste into biochar through the pyrolysis process, palm oil mills can further contribute to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainability efforts through the implementation of the Net Zero Waste Roadmap.

      1. Palm Oil Mill Production : Managing Waste into Energy Sources

       

      Production in a palm oil mill begins with the process of extracting oil from fresh fruit bunches (FFB). This process produces various types of waste, both liquid and solid, which require management to reduce negative impacts on the environment. One of the main liquid wastes produced is POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent), which can be processed into biogas through a biogas processing system.

      For example, a palm oil mill with a production capacity of 60 tons of FFB per hour can produce around 4,000-6,000 Nm³ of biogas per day. This is due to the high organic content in POME which makes it an effective source of biogas fuel. In addition, other waste produced by palm oil mills such as empty fruit bunches, shells, and fibers can also be further processed to produce biogas or used as other renewable energy sources. Therefore, the processing of this waste, including the conversion of POME into biogas, is an important step in utilizing liquid waste into high-potential fuel.

      2. POME : Ideal Biogas Feedstock

      POME is a liquid waste produced from the palm oil processing process. In general, POME has a very high organic content, including fatty acids, oils, and suspended solids. This high organic content, especially significant COD and BOD values, makes POME very dangerous if not managed properly. Thus, high COD and BOD reflect the large amount of oxygen needed to decompose organic matter in water, which can cause a decrease in dissolved oxygen in water bodies if POME is discharged without treatment. This can result in the death of aquatic organisms and damage the aquatic ecosystem.

      Therefore, POME is an ideal material for biogas plants for several main reasons:

      • High Organic Content: POME has a COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) value of around 50,000 – 80,000 mg/L and a BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) of around 25,000 – 35,000 mg/L, making it very suitable for biogas treatment systems. The high organic content is the main ingredient used in making biogas through anaerobic processes in biogas reactors such as biogas digesters.
      • Large and Consistent Volume: Every ton of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) processed can produce around 0.5-1.2 tons of POME. Because the abundant availability of POME supports biogas waste management on a large scale, it allows biogas plants to operate sustainably and efficiently.
      • Efficiency in Reducing Environmental Impacts: Processing POME in biogas plants not only produces renewable energy but also reduces environmental impacts significantly. POME, if not processed, can pollute the environment.
      • Favorable Composition for Anaerobic Processes: POME has a pH and temperature that are close to optimal for the biogas production process in biogas digesters. Its nutritional content supports the growth of microorganisms needed for biogas monitoring and biogas production.

      Biogas Utilization from POME: Environmental and Economic Solution

      Biogas is the most ideal solution for processing POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) because it not only offers energy efficiency by producing biogas that can be used as an alternative energy source, but also provides significant environmental benefits. In addition, from a commercial perspective, although the initial investment costs are quite high, biogas can be a profitable long-term income. Furthermore, the results of biogas and its residues, such as organic fertilizer and biochar, offer additional income opportunities and added value, making it a sustainable and profitable investment in the long term.

      Organics Bali has the expertise and advanced technology in utilizing the potential of POME for biogas production. With high-reliability European technology standards, we ensure that our biogas plants operate efficiently and smoothly after the commissioning process. We have installed and operated four active biogas plants in Indonesia, including in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Click the following link to view our portfolio and find out how we can help you optimize the potential of POME into profitable biogas.

      3. Solid Waste: Converting Waste into Biochar

      In addition to POME, palm oil mills also produce various types of solid waste such as empty bunches, fronds, palm shells, and fibers. Each type of solid waste has the potential to be processed into biogas or other more valuable products, one of which is biochar.

      However, special testing is needed to determine the effectiveness and quality of the biochar produced. Organics Bali has a Research and Development facility in Bandung equipped with special equipment to conduct this testing. Furthermore, we use reference standards from the World Biochar Certificate (WBC) and Carbon Standards International to ensure that the biochar quality parameters are met.

      4. Pyroclast – The Processing Biomass into Biochar

      Biomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that breaks down organic matter at high temperatures without oxygen. One of the products of the pyrolysis process is biochar. Biochar has various benefits, one of which is its contribution to carbon sequestration or carbon absorption.

      The results of the biomass pyrolysis process include:

      • Biochar: A solid product rich in carbon, useful as a soil ameliorant, pollutant absorber, and fuel.
      • Biogas: A mixture of gases, mainly methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), that can be used as a renewable energy source.
      • Pyrolysis Oil: A complex liquid consisting of various organic compounds, including phenols, organic acids, and ketones. This oil can be used as fuel or further processed into chemicals.
      • Flying Gas: Other light gases such as hydrogen (H₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH₄) that can also be used as fuel.

      The results of pyrolysis vary depending on the type of biomass, pyrolysis temperature, and process conditions.

      Why Biochar is an Ideal Solution for Biomass:

      Biochar is an ideal solution for biomass for several key reasons:

      • Effective Carbon Storage: Plant photosynthesis absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere and stores it in biomass. When plants die or are cut down, this carbon is released back into the atmosphere as CO₂. Sustainable biomass management aims to prevent this carbon release.
      • Pyrolysis as a Solution: Pyrolysis is an ancient technique that has been used for over three thousand years to address the problem of carbon release. Specifically, the process involves heating biomass in an oxygen-free environment, producing a stable product.
      • Biochar Production: During pyrolysis, biomass is converted into biochar, a stable form of carbon that can be used as a soil ameliorant. Thus, biochar helps improve soil health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
      • Carbon Sequestration Method: Biochar functions as a carbon sequestration method, storing carbon in a form that is not easily broken down and preventing it from returning to the atmosphere as CO₂.
      • Carbon Credits: The use of biochar in agriculture can be categorized as an emission reduction project that has the potential to earn carbon credits, especially in voluntary carbon market schemes. For example, the potential of biochar as part of the climate solution in Indonesia is recognized and supported by the Indonesian government, as stated in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number 7 of 2023 concerning Procedures for Carbon Trading in the Forestry Sector.

      By using biochar, biomass is not only managed sustainably but also makes a positive contribution to the environment and economy through emission reduction and carbon credit trading.

      5. Complete Biogas Plant – Biogas Feedtrain

      Biogas feedtrain refers to the system or process used to manage and feed feedstock into an anaerobic digestion system for biogas production. It includes several important stages in the processing of the feedstock before it enters the anaerobic digestion reactor. The following are the main components of a biogas feedtrain:

      1. Biogas Plant

      The biogas plant is the initial component that includes the collection and digestion of organic matter to produce biogas. It consists of an Anaerobic Digester (AD), where anaerobic digestion occurs in the absence of oxygen, and a Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR).

      • Anaerobic Digester (AD): The biogas reactor where the anaerobic fermentation process occurs to produce biogas. The biogas digester is an essential component that enables the production of biogas from organic waste.
      • Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR): The ideal biogas digester component for POME treatment as it allows for uniform mixing and efficient gas separation.

      Anaerobic Digester (AD) is the most ideal component for palm oil mills because it is able to handle large volumes of POME and produce biogas with high efficiency. In addition, the CSTR system allows for better process control, ensuring stable biogas production, but at a higher price.

      2. Gas Engine

      The Gas Engine function is to move and regulate the flow of biogas from the reactor to the purification or storage system. A blower is used to move the biogas gas through the system, while a gas pump helps move the biogas from one part of the system to another. Both of these machines are essential to ensure a stable and consistent gas flow.

      3. Biogas Purification or Treatment

      Biogas purification or treatment is the stage where the biogas is cleaned and treated to remove contaminants.

      • Bioscrubber uses microorganisms to remove contaminants
      • Chiller cools the biogas to reduce humidity and condensation.
      • Filters remove solid particles and contaminants,
      • Siloxanes that can damage equipment must be removed through the purification process.
      • Flare serves as a safety system to burn gas that cannot be stored or used, reducing the risk of explosion or leakage.

      4. Electric Generator

      After the gas purification stage, the final stage is the conversion of biogas into electricity through the power house. The electric generator in the power house converts the purified biogas into electricity. The electricity produced can be used for various purposes, either for factory operational needs or sold to PLN. The sale of electricity must comply with applicable regulations, which will be discussed in the next section.

      In addition to electricity, biogas can also be used as Co-Firing, and these benefits can be a source of long-term income. Click the following link to read related articles on what can be used from Biogas and its economic benefits.

      Biogas to Electricity

      6. Compressed BioMethane (CMB) 

      Compressed BioMethane (CBM) is a biogas fuel that has been purified and compressed into pure methane, offering higher and cleaner combustion efficiency than fossil fuels. The purification process removes CO2 and impurity gases, resulting in CBM which is ideal as an alternative fuel.

      In Indonesia, with many palm oil mills, CBM can be an efficient solution for fuel for transport trucks, from fruit to the final CPO product. In addition to the economic benefits of saving fuel costs, CBM also contributes to reducing carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

      CBM can also be developed into BioLNG, with the added benefit of higher energy density. For more information, watch our webinar recording at the following link :

      Regulatory Framework: Supporting Biogas and Biochar Development in Indonesia

      The implementation of biogas and biochar technology in Indonesia cannot be separated from strong regulatory support. The Indonesian government has issued various regulations that support the development of renewable energy, including in the utilization of industrial waste such as POME. Here are some relevant regulations:

      • Presidential Regulation No. 112 of 2022 concerning the Acceleration of New and Renewable Energy (EBT) Development
      • Ministerial Regulation of the Environment and Forestry Number 7 of 2023 concerning Procedures for Carbon Trading in the Forestry Sector
      • Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 50 of 2017 concerning the Utilization of Renewable Energy for Electricity Provision

      With the support of these regulations, palm oil mills that implement biogas and biochar technology not only contribute to sustainability efforts but can also take advantage of various incentives and carbon trading schemes available.

      Conclusion: A Pathway to Sustainable Palm Oil Production

      The application of biogas and biochar in the management of palm oil mill waste offers several significant benefits. First, biogas from POME not only provides a renewable energy source but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, supporting the Net Zero goal.

      With Organics, palm oil mills can adopt technologies that can improve operational efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and open up new economic opportunities through carbon trading and renewable energy production. In addition, regulatory support from the Indonesian government further strengthens the position of biogas and biochar as an integral part of a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future for the palm oil industry.
