Renewable Energy Promotion Support　in Indonesia

１．Seriwe hamlet using renewable energy
Seriwe hamlet lies in remote area in East of Lombok Island. It has no access to electricity and theclean waters are purchased from the neighborhoods villages at higher price. About 85% of thepopulation earn less than US$ 0.82/day. The main livelihood of the hamlet is to grow seaweeds andafter harvesting they have to dry seaweeds, using direct sunshines. It has however a potential sourceof renewable energy namely solar and wind are available all year round. The proposed activities arefirst to conduct detail survey to the hamlet to obtain new data on renewable energy sources andseaweeds production and later to provide the cooperative with , a power supply system using acombination of solar PV and wind power generation for a small seaweeds processing factory, a cleanwater supply facility, a hybrid solar dryer. In addition the project aims to increase the value addedseaweeds production, to find the market of the finished products, to provide the necessary educationand training for the operation/maintenance of these apparatuses and facilities. The activity also plansto transfer the factory management methods and to assist in getting a financing instutiton to supportthe sound management.
With acomplishment of those activities, the project establishes the local people with stable and lowcost electricity, heat and water, new job opportunties, increasing their living level and leads to welfarecommunity.
The results from this project will expand to similar hamlets in Indonesian islands by creating openlecture in the graduate school, workshop (site tour, seminar and training) and home pages.
Seriwe Renewable Energy

２．Tangsi Jayahamlet using renewable energy
Tangsi Jaya hamlet located at Gunung Halu Village West Java, have been selected as the E3i (Energy,Economy and Environment)) self-sufficientvillage model based on the fact that previous study on thehamlet has been conducted to obtain the potential of natural resources and renewable energy(biomass, hydro power) available in the village, and to obtained the socio-condition of the people ofthe village.The main source of income of the Tangsi Jaya hamlet has been from paddy farming withaverage ownership of 0.12 Ha/household and from 15.82 Ha of coffee plantation. In the past theharvested coffee berries have been sold to the middlemen under unprocessed condition.
The people in this hamlet have been living under poverty for a long time with an average income ofaround US$ 2/day. About 48% of the population has income of less than US$ 0.75/day. Fortunately,now in the village there exist a micro-hydro power plant having a capacity of 18 kW supplyingelectricity for lighting during night time to around 74 household (HH,298 people). This powergenerating facilities together with the Coffee Processing Center was built some 7 years ago by thegovernment Energy Self Sufficient Village program but left unmonitored. There were no additionalgrant from the government for maintaining these facilities, and consequently the Coffee ProcessingCenter almost deserted and the processing facilities were under corrosion.Recently the waterchannel was destroyed by landslides.In order to continue supplying electricity to the hamlet somerenovationon the water channel including embankment should be made. During the daytime theelectricity produced from micro-hydro power was only used to supply electricity to the communityduring night time.The processing center was small in dimension and there is a need to make it biggerto accommodate new facilities. The hamlet has several natural resources yet to be developed, namelycoffee plantation, rice field and vegetable farms. The purpose of the project is to supply electricpower from refurbished micro-hydro and biomass (coffee skin) during the day time to a newly buildCoffee Processing Center where coffee berries are dried which have captive market in Bandung. AndProcessing Center creates new job opportunity for the villager to increase their welfare and forpoverty alleviation. The projects lead to emission reduction for 6 months operation (with 0.5 kg CO2/kWh) the processing facilities will mitigate emission equivalent to 3.5 Tons of CO2/year. Coffee skinwill be used as fuel for the dryer. Emission coming from it is not included in the calculation because ofof  CO2 neutral. The project has another several advantages, namely preservation of naturalresources by well keeping (improve and maintain) coffee plantation and to increase yield in the form ofdriedcoffee beans. The renovation of micro-hydro power water channel and its embankment leads tothe preservation of ecosystem services.
