d. Testing of surfactant formula on laboratory scale for sand stones and carbonate rocks for application of
oil well stimulation, huff and puff and flooding. e. Test field of biosurfactant for the application of oil
well stimulation, huff and puff and flooding
D. Supply Chain Management and Sustainability 1. Supply Chain Management
Study of biomass supply as future source of energy requires a complex analysis from local natural resources
and agricultural condition, and its interactions with development of food, fibre, energy and international
trade requirements. There is no single model that can overcome this problem directly. There need to be a
model of energy-resource that can be locally and globally applied including effects of policies, such as WTO, CDM,
REDD, and biofuel policy in various countries. Research and Development 2009- 2012
a. Identification and benchmarking of various regional
supply systems, intermarket dependence, transportation and international trade.
b. Analysis of supply and demand system for biomass raw materials and the impacts on trade policy and
biofuel utilization. c. Synergyconflict analysis between bio-energy
production and environmental protection.
2. Sustainability Sustainability scheme comprises of various criteria that
covers three aspects, i.e. environment, social and economy. Valuation of sustainability requires indicators
and methods to measure the criteria for environment, social and economy. Having done these, field valuation
and monitoring are conducted that involve data

collection and analysis to produce recommendation and improvement on sustainability aspect, such as land
competition and utilization between energy-producing plant and biomass, deforestation, increase of food
commodity price at level that out of reach, need for product certification, etc.
Research and Development 2009- 2012 a. Identification of sustainability indicators based on
current conditions and difference of technological situations, end consumers and local obstacles
b. Methodological improvement for measuring technical, economical, environmental and social
aspects such as LCA Life Cycle Analysis and Socio- Eco-Efficiency-balance.
c. Analysis of data on the whole biofuel chain such as need for fertilizer, amount of soil organic material,
agricultural mechanization, N

, VOC emissions, satellite data land, water, new variety,
commercial scale factory and plantation, compare to its reference, i.e., fossil fuel chain.
d. Development of agroforestry in Gunung Walat Educational Forest, to produce synergy between
energy production and other forest products by considering environmental protection.
e. Study of human behaviour in energy utilization that comprise of increase energy efficiency through
environmental management, renewable energy utilization, energy retrenchment 4R: reduce, reuse,
recycle and replace and development of social capital in community – based energy production and
utilization.
