Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review and share the information as well as an achievement that has been obtained in the field of solid biomass waste into energy conversion in Indonesia especially on thermal processes. The future energy in Indonesia has been prepared since long time ago which can be known from the research activities and scientific articles that have been published in journals and also through local social media. Energy resilience in the future is prepared to respond to an increase in the human population, development in all fields that certainly requires quite a lot of energy. Biomass is one of the potential future energy sources which are considered as waste. In addition to its abundant, biomass is known to be environmentally friendly because it does not contribute to the air pollution, does not cause the greenhouse effect, and does not cause climate and weather changes. Several efforts to support Indonesia's energy mix in the future based on thermal processes were reported.
