Abstract

In PT PLN (Persero)’s Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) for the period 2021 - 2030, there is a biomass co- firing program with coal at Steam Power Plants (PLTU). This program reflects PLN’s innovative efforts to increase the use of renewable energy sources without requiring large investment expenditures. The PLTU co-firing program involves partially replacing the coal with biomass such as sawdust from Energy Plantation Forests (HTE). The decision to implement PLTU co- firing commercially was based on the results of co-firing trials which showed that it was technically feasible and did not affect the reliability of power plant operations. There are 52 PLTUs owned by PLN that have the potential to implement co-firing with a biomass requirement of around 10 million tonnes per year by 2025. One of the PLTUs included in the co-firing program is the Pelabuhan Ratu PLTU with a capacity of 3 x 350 MW located in Sukabumi. The research stage involves mapping the potential of biomass sawdust to determine the availability of biomass around the PLTU location that implements co-firing, analysis of technical aspects and specifications for biomass sawdust raw materials to check compliance with the requirements of the Pelabuhan Ratu PLTU. One of the efforts made is the cofiring method. Co-firing coal-fired power plants is a technology that replaces coal with fuel from renewable sources with a certain composition ratio, and still pays attention to the quality of the fuel according to requirements. Among other things, this is caused by the presence of biomass and waste that is not used, has no economic value.
