Abstract

This study evaluated greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption by producing and importing biodiesel derived from Indonesian palm oil. This study evaluated those environmental load based on the results of investigation which was carried out in oil palm plantation and palm oil mill in Lampung, Indonesia. Greenhouse gas emission was evaluated by considering biomass carbon balance. As a result, greenhouse gas emission by producing, importing and combustion of palm biodiesel was estimated to be 60% of greenhouse gas emission by those of diesel oil. However, it is possible to reduce that greenhouse gas emission by utilization of biomass residue and methane in palm oil mill. On the other hand, energy consumption by producing and importing palm biodiesel was estimated to be approximately 10.4MJ/L. If it replaces all diesel consumption in Japan, approximately 110 thousand ha of new oil palm plantation will be needed.
