Abstract

One renewable energy form currently being promoted is that of biodiesel as
a substitute for diesel fuel. This involves mixing biodiesel with petrodiesel
in proportions governed by the respective regulations of each country. The
purposes of this research are to support the exploiting of biodiesel forms of
renewable energy and to optimize the palm oil-sourced biodiesel supply chain
by conducting an Indonesia-based case study. The optimization process was
implemented in accordance with the government’s mandate and long-term
planning. There are two decision variables to consider. First, the model will
identify the optimum delivery point locations as a blending terminal between
biodiesel and petrodiesel (petroleum diesel). Second, it will determine the
location of biodiesel plants’ construction in order to satisfy the government’s
mandate. The results show that, while determining delivery point locations
affects supply chain costs, it does not do so significantly. More influential
is determining the construction locations of biodiesel plants and this study
provides a model for deciding the delivery points and locations of biodiesel
plants in order to minimize biodiesel supply chain costs in Indonesia. This study presents in detail biodiesel supply chain process in Indonesia and based
on the literature, no research was found on studying optimization biodiesel
supply chain in Indonesia.
