Besides producing CPO and KPO, oil palm also produces a lot of waste. Oil palm waste can be managed and utilized. This study aims to determine how oil palm waste is managed, the authority of local governments to regulate oil palm waste management in South Kalimantan Province. Third, what is the concept of future local government policies in utilizing oil palm waste as a new and renewable energy development in South Kalimantan? The research method used is normative juridical research, the research that is focused on examining the application of the rules or norms in positive law, analyzing in-depth and holistically, from all aspects comprehensively, sourced from library research using legal materials, namely primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials, to answer regulatory issues in the legislation regarding the Policy on the Use of Oil palm Waste as New and Renewable Energy in South Kalimantan Province. The result shows that Indonesia has been able to create renewable energy from the oil palm industry. However, the government needs to regulate the use of oil palm shell waste through local regulations and policies. With the participation of policymakers, and focus for development. It can creates jobs, increase and develop disadvantaged areas and in the end will reduce the level of poverty.

Abstract– Currently the main products of oil palm are mainly used as the producer of vegetable oil. The waste originally becoming problems for environment can be used as renewable energy. One of the solutions is by making use of oil palm waste as the fuel of Steam Power Plant. The objective of this thesis is to identify the number of production of fresh fruit branch and waste generated as well as to calculate the potential energy of oil palm waste as the fuel of Biomass Steam Power Plant. The solid wastes of oil palm studied were fibre and shell. Every ton of fresh fruit branch produced 13% fibre with the energy of 2,637 kCal/kg and 6.5% shell with the energy of 4,105 kCal/kg. The area of oil palm plantations that have already had plantation business permit in Landak District is 451,903.06 Ha. The research results show that the potential fibre and shell that can produced by 5 oil palm factories in Landak District, with the production capacity of 225 Ton TBS/hour during the last 6 years until 2016 reached 344,490,729 tons. The potential energy produced is 1,240,590,477 MWh. Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 12 of 2017 on the Use of Renewable Energy for the Provision of Power, the basic cost of power plant for West Kalimantan Area is 1,406.75. Therefore, the remaining energy ready to use or sell (excess power) after reduced by the factory use is 1,186,885,214 MWh, and the estimated revenue from power sale generated by 5 units of oil palm factories is Rp 1,669,650,774,795. From five samples of oil palm factories, it can be used to estimate the potential energy from oil palm waste in the entire area of Landak District, based on the plant area that can produce the yield and not produce the yield yet. Therefore, the oil palm area of 113,800.59 Ha, it can be produced estimated potential energy of 2,033,268,169 kWh/year and estimated revenue of Rp 2,860,299,996,037,-. The potential energy from oil palm waste will increase year by year along with the increasing procution capacity, oil palm plantation area and increasing oil palm factory construction so that it can increase energy diversification in Landak District.

Despite the enormous renewable energy (RE) resources available in Ghana, the country has not seen much development and investments in the sector. Therefore, the government has committed to increasing the share of RE in the country’s electricity generation mix to some 10% by 2030. However, this cannot be achieved without the Ghanaian people’s support since the RE sector is capital intensive and requires both public and private sector participation. This study was conducted to evaluate RE’s social acceptance among Ghanaian people using the ordered logit regression model. A total of 999 valid questionnaires out of 1020 distributed questionnaires were considered for the study. The five-point Likert scale was employed to rank their willingness to accept (WTA) RE. From the results, it was observed that there is a general sense of acceptance of renewable energy among Ghanaians. However, the level of acceptance varies from one respondent to another. The study observed that a majority of the respondents (i.e., approximately 45.65%) agree to their WTA renewable energy, while 36.04% strongly agree. The results also indicate that while 6.21% and 0.3% disagree and strongly disagree, 11.81% of the respondents were indifferent regarding their willingness to accept renewable energy development and utilization in Ghana.

The Malaysian Government has set an ambitious target to achieve a higher penetration of Renewable Energy (RE) in the Malaysian energy mix. To date, Malaysia has approximately 2% of its energy coming from RE generation sources compared to the total generation mix and targets achieving 20% penetration by 2025. The current energy mix for Malaysia power generation is mainly provided by natural gas and coal. The discussion will cover the traditional sources of generation including natural gas, coal and big hydro stations. In addition, the paper will cover in depth the potential of RE in the country, challenges, and opportunities in this sector. This study can give an initial evaluation of the Malaysian energy industry, especially for RE and can initiate further research and development in this area in order to support the Government target to achieve RE target of 20% by 2025.
