ABSTRAKIndonesia adalah negara pengekspor CPO (crude palm oil) terbesar kedua di dunia. Produk sampingan dari prosesing CPO yang berupa limbah padat yaitu cangkang, serat dan tandan kosong sawit (TKS) ini bisa dijadikan alternatif sumber energi terbarukan. Gasifikasi adalah teknologi yang layak untuk konversi limbah padat karena memenuhi standar emisi dan memberikan efek minimasi penggunaan lahan TPA. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami potensi konversi limbah padat kelapa sawit menjadi bahan bakar gas (H2 dan CO) dengan proses gasifikasi. Penelitian dilakukan dengan eksperimen thermogravimetri terhadap 3 jenis limbah padat kelapa sawit untuk menganalisis karakteristik gasifikasi limbah padat tersebut. Untuk memahami komposisi bahan bakar gas yang dihasilkan, dilakukan simulasi proses gasifikasi dengan menggunakan software kesetimbangan kimia HSC Chemistry 5.1. Hasil thermogravimetri menunjukkan bahwa kandungan fix carbon (FC) dan fuel ratio dalam cangkang lebih besar dari serat dan tandan kosong sawit (TKS). Kandungan volatile matter (VM) TKS lebih besar dari serat dan cangkang. Hal ini mengakibatkan produksi gas CO cangkang kelapa sawit lebih besar dibanding serat dan TKS, sebaliknya produksi gas H2 dari TKS lebih tinggi dibandingkan cangkang dan serat. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan kesetimbangan kimia, dapat disusun skema reaksi gasifikasi limbah padat kelapa sawit sebagai berikut:CxHy + aCO2 ? (x+a)CO + y/2H2.Kata Kunci: limbah padat CPO, gasifikasi, bahan bakar gas, volatile matter (VM), fix carbon (FC) ABSTRACTIndonesia is the second largest CPO (crude palm oil) exporting countries in the world. CPO processing generates solid wastes including shell, fiber and empty fruit bunche (EFBs), which can be used as alternative sources of renewable energy. Gasification is feasible technology to convert solid waste because it can meet the emission standard and minimize landfill application. This paper studies the potency of palm solid waste conversion to fuel gases (H2 and CO) through gasification proces. This research was carried out by thermogravimetric experiments on three kinds of palm solid waste to understand their gasification characteristics. Chemical equilibrium calculations of gasification process was carried out by using HSC Chemistry 5.1 software to understand the fuel gas composition. Thermogravimetric analysis suggested that the fix carbon (FC) content and fuel ratio of shell was higher than those of fiber and EFBs. Whereas, volatile matter (VM) content of EFBs was higher than that of fiber and shell. It caused CO production of shell was higher than that of fiber and EFBs, otherwise, the H2 production of EFBs was higher than that of shell and fiber. Based on chemical equilibrium calculation, gasification reaction scheme of palm solid waste can be arranged as follows: CxHy + aCO2 ? (x+a)CO + y/2H2.Keywords: CPO solid waste, gasification, fuel gas, volatile matter (VM), fix carbon (FC).

Since its establishment, Crude Palm Oil futures contract (FCPO) has been used to directly hedge its physical crude palm oil (CPO). However, due to the excessive speculation activities on crude palm oil futures market, it has been said to be no longer an effective hedging tool to mitigate the price risk of its underlying physical market. This triggers the need for market players to find possible alternatives to ensure that the hedging role can be executed effectively. Thus this investigation attempts to examine whether other inter-related grains and oil seed futures contracts could serve as effective cross-hedging mechanisms for the CPO. Weekly data of inter-related futures contracts from Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) and Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) are employed to cross hedge the physical crude palm oil prices. The study starts from 2006 until 2016. Empirical results indicate that FCPO is still the best futures contract for hedging purposes while Chicago Soybean (CBOTBO) provides second best alternative if cross-hedging is considered.

The main purpose of this study is to compare the performances of univariate and bivariate models on four time series variables of the crude palm oil industry in Peninsular Malaysia. The monthly data for the four variables, which are the crude palm oil production, price, import and export, were obtained from Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC). In the first part of this study, univariate time series models, namely, the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), fractionally integrated autoregressive moving average (ARFIMA) and autoregressive autoregressive (ARAR) algorithm were used for modelling and forecasting purposes. Subsequently, the dependence between any two of the four variables were checked using the residuals’ sample cross correlation functions before modelling the bivariate time series. In order to model the bivariate time series and make prediction, the transfer function models were used. The forecast accuracy criteria used to evaluate the performances of the models were the mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results of the univariate time series showed that the best model for predicting the production was ARIMA  while the ARAR algorithm were the best forecast models for predicting both the import and export of crude palm oil. However, ARIMA  appeared to be the best forecast model for price based on the MAE and MAPE values while ARFIMA  emerged the best model based on the RMSE value.  When considering bivariate time series models, the production was dependent on import while the export was dependent on either price or import. The results showed that the bivariate models had better performance compared to the univariate models for production and export of crude palm oil based on the forecast accuracy criteria used.

ABSTRACTIndonesia is the world's largest producer of crude palm oil (CPO). Even so, the trend of international trade in Indonesian CPO products has decreased in the last 10 years with a value of -10.19%. The decline in world demand for CPO can be dealt with by utilizing CPO as a biofuel for domestic use, like biodiesel. The purpose of this study is to determine the competitiveness of Indonesian CPO in global trade and determine the parameters of the quality requirements of CPO and biodiesel. The competitiveness analysis method uses the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method, while the analysis of the potential quality of CPO as a biofuel is carried out by analyzing the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). CPO trade in the global market is controlled by Indonesia with a market share of 50% and Malaysia 25.6%, with the declining trade trend in the last 10 years relatively (2010-2019) of -6.91%. The level of competitiveness of Indonesian CPO products in 2019 is very strong, but on average in the last 10 years, the level of competitiveness of Indonesian CPO is no better than that of Malaysia. Indonesia has SNI 01-2901-2006 and SNI 7182: 2015 as a determinant of the quality of CPO and biodiesel products developed in Indonesia so that the CPO and biodiesel produced fullfil sacurity and safety aspects when used by consumers.Keywords: crude palm oil (CPO), competitivenessv, quality, Indonesian National Standard (SNI) ABSTRAKIndonesia merupakan negara produsen minyak kelapa sawit mentah/ Crude Palm Oil (CPO) terbesar di dunia.
