9 Why Palm-oil biodiesel? The industry offers a rich case study since its multidimensional positive and negative impacts Industrial Value Adding No new infrastructure comparing to Gas Economy Market is unattractive for biodiesel investment Employment Development of Rural Areas 1 st Technology has acquired Social Exclusiveness Access to Land Food vs Fuel Better Fuel Emission Improved Carbon Capture Environment Increased CO2 due to reduction of forest Threat to biodiversity Better Energy Mix Renewable Energy Industry Energy Multi-Actors along the production chain 9

13 Agenda National Development Priorities in Indonesia Challenges in Modeling the Palm Oil Biodiesel Industry within the REDD+ and Green Economy Framework Results and Policy Implications 13

14 REDD+, Green Economy and Palm-Oil Biodiesel Industry offers interactive dynamics of trade-offs Can we have sustainable palm-oil biodiesel production that satisfy REDD+? Can the promise of green jobs and green investments from the renewable energy industry be delivered? Can we analyse the competition of Food vs Fuel vs Forest for land area? At What Cost? 14

15 Renewable Energy Modeling has more challenges 1 Local Limitations 2 Large Scale Documentation 3 Different Characteristics of Industry Unique local conditions will limit the use of generic model. For example in this model: - Indonesia as an Archipelago - multi social values, etc. - financial data not easily obtained Very limited open documentation is available on implementing renewable energy in a large (national) scale Renewable Energy Production has different characteristics that the energy production. Deep understanding of nonenergy industry works is needed (forestry, agriculture, manufacturing etc.) *A. Ross and C. Rakos, The limits of modeling.

18 Expanding the Biodiesel Production Chain Sub-models needs a Multi-Methods Approach which includes financial modeling, Life Cycle Analysis and System Dynamics as the final form Production Mapping Stage Production Process Maps Financial Modeling (cost mapping) Investment, Cost and Revenue Structure Sustainable Indicators Biodiesel Production Chain Model Development Life Cycle Analysis Integration to National Development Sustainability Model Employment and CSR Biodiesel Production Financial Indicators Social Indicators Environment Indicators 18

19 Biodiesel industry has 3 types of production chain ownership that must be include in the model for evaluation Structure 1 Differentiation Total Differentiation. No Single Ownership of all Chains. (Code 1) PALM PLANTATION CPO FACTORY BIODIESEL FACTORY CPO MARKET BIODIESEL MARKET Structure 2 Independent Plantation and CPO Factory are single owner, however Biodiesel Factory is independent. (Code 2) This is the typical structure of the industry PALM PLANTATION CPO FACTORY BIODIESEL FACTORY CPO MARKET BIODIESEL MARKET Structure 3 Integrated Conglomeration, total vertical integration. All Chain are owned by single company dedicated to Biodiesel Market This is the most cost efficient structure PALM PLANTATION CPO FACTORY BIODIESEL FACTORY BIODIESEL MARKET 19

20 Therefore the biodiesel structure model must accommodates this 3 types of ownerships 20

21 These different ownership structure will create different behavior in the sustainability indicators shown in the model results Independent Structure Characteristics are similar to manufacturing companies which its sustainability impacts are related to production numbers EBITDA Biodiesel Employment Biodiesel Production Net Emission CO2 Integrated Structure Has initial environmental burden by maintaining lain, however has more profits due to low cost on obtaining the CPO as incoming material -10 EBITDA Biodiesel Biodiesel Production Employment Net Emission CO2 21

22 Including the cost structure of fragmented ownership, that concludes that the only feasible structure is the integrated structure or using domestic market obligations Labor Cost 5% Indirect Cost 12% Utility Cost 6% CPO Feedstock Cost 62% Other Material Cost 15% The integrated structure also allow a better control on where and how the company use or expand its land, such as degraded land and not using slash-and-burn land opening methods 22

23 Land Productivity (Ton FFB/ha/year) There is also land productivity, that has its own cycle depending on the quality of the allocated land % 5.00% % -5.00% % Class1 Class 2 Class 3 Class Class I Class II Class III Class IV Year 23

24 Biodiesel Producer (Yearly) Biodiesel Producer (Acumulated) This cycle will create time unreasonable peaks in the number of biodiesel companies needed to supply the target SOE (Accum.) DMO (Accum.) SOE (Yearly) DMO (Accum.) The time-span target instead of yearly target would require a more consistent approach in developing the industry, instead of frantic decisions when nearing the target million kl million kl million kl 5% 15% 20% 24

25 Juta Ton CPO In the long run, biodiesel would consume much of the CPO production, which could trigger food vs fuel debate 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Konsumsi CPO non Energi Kebutuhan CPO - BD Kebutuhan CPO - BD Konsumsi CPO non Energi 25

30 Billions Green GDP and Brown GDP Renewable energy pushes the Green GDP in proportional with the growth of Brown GDP. However in REDD+ sustainable palm oil scenario, the Green GDP is higher than BAU 710 USD 700 USD 690 USD 680 USD 670 USD 660 USD Green GDP Brown GDP 650 USD 640 USD 630 USD 620 USD Business As Usual Business As Usual with Biodiesel Industry REDD+ Sustainable Palm Oil REDD+ No Palm Oil Expansion 30

31 Thousands Green Jobs Sustainable Palm Oil Practice requires more workforce to maintain degraded land, therefore Green Jobs are better 2500 Person/yr 2000 Person/yr 1500 Person/yr 1000 Person/yr 500 Person/yr 0 Person/yr Business As Usual Business As Usual with Biodiesel Industry REDD+ Sustainable Palm Oil REDD+ No Palm Oil Expansion 31

32 Thousands Forest Land Covers REDD+ with Sustainable Palm oil could maintain the forest cover, however in the long run the demand is too high comparing to re-forestation efforts 1400 km² 1350 km² 1300 km² 1250 km² 1200 km² 1150 km² 1100 km² Business As Usual REDD+ Sustainable Palm Oil Business As Usual with Biodiesel Industry REDD+ No Palm Oil Expansion 32

33 Millions Emissions from Energy and Forest REDD+ reduces emissions from forest in 2030 with no palm oil expansion, which unlikely, so sustainable palm oil is better 4000 ton/yr 3500 ton/yr 3000 ton/yr Emission from Other Sector Emission from Energy Sector Emission from Forestry Sector 2500 ton/yr 2000 ton/yr 1500 ton/yr 1000 ton/yr 500 ton/yr 0 ton/yr Business As Usual Business As Usual with Biodiesel Industry REDD+ Sustainable Palm Oil REDD+ No Palm Oil Expansion 33

34 Policy Implications based on the model REDD+ policy, including moratorium, if delivered consistently within long run, would force the use of sustainable palm production and better production technology (better extraction rate and land productivity FFB/ha) Understanding the micro conditions of biodiesel production chain would shows that biodiesel from palm oil with private sector involvement will be difficult due to conflicting interest (profit vs sustainability). Certain macro conditions that must exist to boost the industry are politically hard: release the fuel subsidy, domestic market obligation, increasing export tax, etc. Government policy to support increased investment in renewable energy needs to be carefully designed in an integrated manner and there is no one-size-fits-all approach (UNEP). Biodiesel from palm oil might be a temporary solutions for transportation energy, however in the long run it would spark the food vs fuel debate. 34

35 Policy Implications for Managing Green Economy..which also makes modeling the green economy is much more easier Switching to green economy would require new data and new definitions with accepted measurements and indicators. New national regulations and initiatives to gather these data is needed Recognizing the multi actors conditions, A new category of land-use: renewable energy production might be needed, with special considerations that are different than ordinary forest or agricultural land. A new category of industry: renewable industry with specific incentives could also be established Part of these policy implications are presented in the 2 nd International Workshop on Systems Modeling and Simulation for Policy Development : Modeling the Green Economy, Jakarta, Indonesia in front of the relevant government, NGOs, and other stakeholders. 35
