“Bioenergy markets are largely policy dependent in most of the world, as the production of biofuels in most countries is not at this point competitive with fossil fuels. Nearly all countries reported that energy security and climate change are the most important drivers of their bioenergy development activities. Overall there are few differences between the policy objectives of G8 Countries and the +5 Countries. Rural development is more central to the +5 Countries’ focus on bioenergy development, and this is often aligned with a poverty alleviation agenda.” (Bioenergy Development in G8 +5 Countries, FAO)
In Indonesia, bioenergy development is purposed to be pro poor, pro job and pro growth. Problems occur when involved parties doesn’t interact each other. One place have the factory without raw material, while in another place, the farmer doesn’t have buyer. Furthermore, bio refinery concept that been developed by the scientist hasn’t been implemented yet. Farmer see Jatropha as a gold mine, not as a part to increase their productivity by using every part of the plant to electricity, fertilizer, etc.
Who own the bioenergy dream? Rural area, where the cultivation takes place hasn’t been developed yet. The program is still focused on transforming kernel into oil, while transforming seed into kernel is still neglected.
