A large potential exists in the Southeast Asia region for deployment of high-efficiency, low-emission (HELE) electricity generation technologies. A cost–benefit analysis of HELE technologies compared to the less efficient subcritical electricity generation plants is thus carried out to find a persuasive scenario supporting quicker transition from subcritical stations towards HELE technologies in the region. A levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) analysis is carried out for both technologies under four potential policy scenarios. Scenario 1 does not take into consideration any carbon pricing or costs associated with the desulphurization (deSOx) and denitrification (deNOx) facilities. Scenario 2 (Scenario 3) incorporates carbon pricing (costs associated with the deSOx and deNOx facilities), and Scenario 4 includes both carbon pricing and costs associated with the deSOx and deNOx facilities. Under each scenario, a sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the uncertainty affecting the future coal prices. This study demonstrates that HELE technologies are competitive against the subcritical plants under all four scenarios and both the technologies derive benefit from lifetime extensions and low coal prices. It is revealed that future deployments of HELE technologies can be best expedited by factoring in carbon pricing in LCOE costs of coal-fired power plants under Scenario 2.

The solar PV systems are semiconductor devices that precisely convert sunlight into electricity, through the transfer of electrons. They provide several advantages, such as high modularity, zero noise, and adequate availability of solar resources in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to determine the potency, policy perspective, and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) of the solar energy implementation for electricity generation. A statistical analysis was used for measuring potency, as well as reviewing opportunistic policies and barriers. A review of some CBA-based journals was also carried out, to determine that the development of solar power electricity had more benefit than fossil fuels and LCOE (Levelized Cost Of Electricity). The results of the 10-days average value calculation in 2019 were 388-563 W/m2, with the maximum values at 1137-1604 W/m2. Meanwhile the analysis of the maximum hourly averages for Western, Central, and Eastern Indonesia were 570-719, 634-758, and 559-627 W/m2 at 11.00-12.00 WIB, 11.00-13.00 WITA, and 12.00-13.00 WIT, respectively. The potency of solar radiation intensity in Indonesia was averagely 150-750 W/m2, as the highest values were found in East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, and Merauke.

Historical Examination

O processo de decisões quanto às alterações ambientais causadas pela construção e operação do sistema de produção e transmissão de energia elétrica tem sido tradicionalmente instruído pela sua análise econômica do ponto de vista empresarial. Uma análise custo-benefício seria suficiente, dentro deste enfoque. Entretanto, a natureza dessas alterações transcende o cálculo econômico feito sob os parâmetros da teoria econômica neoclássica. Nada mais distante de uma coletividade de indivíduos que maximizam suas utilidades, do que os indivíduos que têm poder de influir sobre as decisões mais importantes do setor. O exame histórico da evolução do setor elétrico no Brasil mostra um cenário em que diferentes grupos de atores sociais ou stakeholders, vêm aplicando diferentes paradigmas de análise nas decisões quanto ao uso dos recursos hídricos, alterações nos cursos d’água e na atmosfera. O estudo da dinâmica de evolução dos vários atores sociais, e das relações e embates entre eles são fundamentais para a compreensão do processo histórico. Permite também uma adequada separação e atribuição dos interesses e objetivos aos diversos grupos, pressuposto para qualquer tentativa de síntese em nome de um interesse mais amplo. Abstract The decision making process for the environmental alterations caused by the construction and operation of power plants and transmission system has been instructed traditionally by economical analysis of the business point of view. A cost-benefit analysis would be sufficient, inside of this focus. However, the nature of those alterations transcends economic calculations done under the parameters of the neoclassical economical theory. The individuals that have power of influence over the most important decisions of the power industry couldn’t be more distant of a collectivity of individuals that maximize their utilities. The historical examination of the evolution of the power industry in Brazil shows a scenario in that different groups of stakeholders apply different analysis paradigms in the decisions as for the use of hydro resources, alterations in the water bodies and in the atmosphere. The study of the dynamics of the several social actors’ evolution, and of the relationships and collisions among them are fundamental for the understanding of the historical process. It also allows an appropriate separation and attribution of the interests and objectives to the several groups, presupposition for any synthesis attempt on behalf of a wider interest.

Fossil fuel burning for energy production creates two major issues: the global warming effect and the weak energy security. These problems can be minimized by utilizing renewable energy sources such as biomass. In order to assess the potential contribution of these technologies to the future energy security and sustainable development, a thorough evaluation of gasification technology towards economic aspects is required. This study aims to determine whether the syngas production from EFB gasification for electricity generation is viable in terms of cost-benefit analysis by evaluating the economic aspects of these technologies.
