Incorporating Bioenergy Production and Landscape Restoration: Lessons from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

International Workshop on:Developing science- and evidence-based policy and practice of

bioenergy in Indonesia within the context of sustainable development

Bogor, 14 February 2017

Project background and aims

• Bioenergy – one of the most versatile form of renewable energy sources

• Conversion of arable land/native forest for bioenergy ‘Food-energy-environment trilemma’

• Use of degraded or marginal land – as an alternative to produce bioenergy while restoring degraded land

• This project aims: o to identify the potential of sustainable biomass

production on degraded and marginal land; o restoration of degraded land;o supporting rural livelihoods. Photo: CIFOR

Key questions

Q1: How can sustainable bioenergy be developed to avoid the food-energy- environment trilemma with alternative feedstocks while restoring degraded landscapes?

Q2: What are the most promising species to achieve efficient bioenergy production from degraded land in Indonesia? Species characters, productivity and additional environmental values?

Q3: What are the socio-economic and environmental benefits/impacts of energy plantation on degraded land?

Component I: Reviewing/mapping policies, land availability, species suitability, potential productivity, community perceptions – opportunities and challenges

Component II: Establishing research/demo trial of key bioenergy species (trees not herbaceous plants) in degraded peatland in C Kalimantan

Component III: Laboratory/chemical analysis – fuel/energy productivity/efficiency and suitable business model for smallholders/SMEs

Stakeholder engagement and capacity building: work with local/national partners – universities and community groups

Potential for scaling up these activities and linking to restoration of degraded land for biomass production

Site-specific species selection for bienergy production

Terrestrial soil• n=232 references• n=19 tree species suitable • Tolerances:

Drought, poor and saline soils having pH ranging between 4 – 9

• Potentials:6 – 40 t biomass ha-1 yr-1

2 – 36 t bio-oil ha-1 yr-1

Semi-terrestrial soil (Peat)• Review in progress• 13 pioneer species to produce

biomass• Need to develop appropriate

harvesting technology• 2 MSc students currently

working • Expected to complete by

Apr’2017

• Initial results indicate potentials of agroforestry system

• Further investigation is required to identify yield, returns etc.

Page 8: Incorporating Bioenergy Production and Landscape Restoration: Lessons from Central Kalimantan

Interim conclusions and the way forward…

Provides opportunity to restore the degraded land while producing sustainable bioenergy and supporting rural livelihoods…

• Avoids conflicts between food, fuel and environment

• Create jobs opportunities in rural areas – production processing

• Improve energy security

• Contribution to several SDGs

• Further work/investigation is required to answer some emerging issues…(ES trade-offs, tenure/governance, market… )
