Review of Potential Bioenergy in Indonesia and Its Regulations

Bioenergy has great prospects to be developed in Indonesia. The goal is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and increasing the availability of energy supply nationwide. Bioenergy comes from organic matter (biomass) at a relatively young age and comes from living things or animals, aquaculture products, also urban and industrial waste. Bio energy is one particular kind of the energy, having known as new and renewable ones. Resources once were used, would be able to spring and grow back within a relatively short time. in a matter of years, compared to fossil derived fuels which need millions of decades. Fossil energy, whose availability is dwindling, has an impact on its prices.. Promising use of more become a project that is very strategic. The position of Indonesia which lies under and alongside the equator, blessed with tropical climate and an abundant diversity of biological sources.. For an example the total forest area is reaching 120.7 million hectares, or approximately 63% of the vast land, giving a prospective high potential in bio energy use for Indonesia.
