Abstract
Abstract. Papua province has abundant of natural resources that can be utilized as sources of bio-renewable energy fuels. Specifically highly demand from industrial sector in this particular case electricity consumption has led to the production of biodiesel from plant as a replacement of diesel fuel. From many biodiesel sources that are exist, microalgae has been selected as the main source of biodiesel production due to the highly oil content of this plant. In addition, alternative fuel such as bioethanol is also considered to be produced from the solid waste of microalgae biomass because of its carbohydrate level. Therefore, through this study, it is expected in the future Papua Province will be able to support its industrial and transportation sectors by utilizing local sources as fuels.
Keywords. Papua Province, Electricity, Microalgae, Biodiesel, Bioethanol.
