Abstract
The sustainability assessment of the biogas production from palm oil mill effluent is complex, so it requires indicators that represent the sustainability concept of the system. This study aims to determine sustainability indicators of the biogas production system from palm oil mill effluent using the participatory analytic hierarchy process. This study results in ten sustainability indicators, in order of importance, consisting of the availability of raw material, profitability, greenhouse gases emissions, energy efficiency, water usage, production cost, investment, installed capacity, residents benefits, and job creation. These indicators help evaluate the sustainability of the biogas production system from palm oil mill effluent in the Bangka Belitung Islands and other regions in Indonesia.
