Muara Laboh Geothermal Power Plant in Indonesia 149 Table 1 Basic Specifications of Main Equipment Steam Turbine Generator Gas Extraction System Cooling Tower Muara Laboh Geothermal Power Plant in Indonesia HATTORI, Yasuyuki * ABSTRACT Fuji Electric has a market share of approximately 50% in geothermal power plants in Indonesia, being highly regarded and trusted by the country’s electricity industry. On December 2019, the Muara Laboh geothermal power plant (power generation capacity: 85.26 MW) in Sumatra, Indonesia started operation, for which a consortium of Sumitomo Corporation and PT. Rekayasa Industri, a local engineering company, had completed a turnkey contract with PT. Supreme Energy Muara Laboh. As a subcontractor to Sumitomo Corporation, we were responsible for the engineering of the entire plant as the technical leader and delivered equipment, such as a steam turbine, generator, motors and turbine governor regulation system. 1.

Muara Laboh Geothermal Power Plant shows that Indonesia has a potential of high-quality and very-high-energy geother- mal resources. Among Indonesia’s resources, Sumatra Island is estimated to have the greatest potential of geothermal resources. In addition to the Muara Laboh Geothermal Power Plant, there are many other future geothermal power generation projects in Sumatra Is- land. 3.

  • Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatra Indonesia
    TROPICAL RAINFOREST HERITAGE OF SUMATRA INDONESIA These three National Parks contain some of the richest and most varied of the world’s remaining rainforests, comparable with those of Borneo and New Guinea. They are in forested volcanic mountains of exceptional beauty, range from coastal lowlands to highlands, and are large enough to preserve the integrity of their ecosystems and catchments. They have a wide range of soils, hydrological conditions and habitats from marine to sub-alpine volcanoes, supporting a high diversity of flora and fauna, which contain much of Sumatra’s natural heritage and its threatened species. They retain their importance as critically important refugia for future evolutionary processes, but they are under great threat. Threats to the Site: Five threats to the integrity of the forests are still extremely serious: illegal logging, fire-setting and forest-clearance for palm oil plantations and farming, poaching, road building and lack of support from other government agencies. Funds for staff, equipment and effective law enforcement against these threats are inadequate. COUNTRY Indonesia NAME Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatra NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE IN DANGER 2004: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria vii, ix and x. 2011: Entered on the List of World Heritage in Danger due to the ongoing degradation of Kerinci Seblat National Park at first, then to the ongoing degradation of all three sites.

Here the best months are February and March, but also June and July, while the rainiest period begins already in August, and lasts until December. Earthquakes Because of its geographic location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, Indonesia has suffered from hundreds of natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and floods. Earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.0 or lower occur almost daily in Indonesia, while more major earthquakes have occurred about once a year throughout the nation's history. These earthquakes often trigger tsunamis or floods that devastate communities. The island nation has 136 volcanoes — 61 of which have erupted since 1900 — that are continuously monitored by the country's Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation. Major challenge of building in this area is the frequent earthquakes. The construction of Co-op center has already survived several quakes reaching over five on the Richters scale. This proves that the idea of separating different building components with different material frequency works. Cassia Coop Training Centre has passed the test of the forces of nature.

  • Howcompany Manage Stakeholder Engagement for Sustainable Tourism Development in Indonesia?
    The Journal of Society and Media 2019, Vol. 3(2) 237-260 https://journal.unesa.ac.id/index.php/jsm/index DOI:10.26740/jsm.v3n2.p237-260 HowCompany Manage Stakeholder Engagement For Sustainable Tourism Development In Indonesia? Gayatri Atmadi1* 1Department of Communication Science, Universitas Al-Azhar, Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia Jalan Sisingamangaraja No.2 Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstract The background of this research is that in the past, the increasing trend of mountain climbing in Indonesia has reportedly raised environmental problems, especially regarding the tremendous volume of rubbish left behind mountain climbers. Plastic waste threatens the Indonesia tourism industry in mountain areas. The government stated that the continuously increasing plastic waste threatens to ruin Indonesia's tourism sector. The mineral water industry is one of the government's primary focuses in its plastic waste reduction. As Indonesia's largest plastic-bottled mineral water brand, Aqua is pledging to remove more plastic from the environment than it uses by 2025. The purpose of the research is to get a descriptive analysis of how the company can manage its stakeholder engagement for reducing plastic waste in Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative narrative analysis method with a case study around Aqua’s efforts for reducing plastic waste in Indonesia and data collected from digital media. The principal results of the research show that Aqua made good collaboration between the Trashbag Community Indonesia, The Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and media journalists on the program “Sapujagad 2017" by removing 5 tons of rubbish from Indonesia's mountains. In conclusion, a successful company must do stakeholder engagement and corporate social responsibility activities for supporting sustainable tourism development in Indonesia.

Fresh, wet parchment is held/fermented in bags for around 12 hours, then patio- dried for another 3-4 days. Each farmer then delivers to the collecter, who continues the process with "wet hulling" (removing of semi-wet parchment skin). Green beans are then patio-dried for another few days under shaded protection. Harvest: October November December January Booking: December January February March Arrivals: January February March April Page 1/4 Pak Nai is a collector working with around 200 smallholder farmers in the Kerinci area. He purchases both cherry and wet parchment and pays them cash as opposed to buying with credit like many middlemen traders in Sumatra. Through Crop to Cup’s local staff in Medan, we are able to purchase this collector’s coffee as its own lot. This is opposite to the standard Sumatran model where there are several more middlemen in the line, bulking up to multiple-container lots when the coffee arrives in Medan. This is made possible due to weekly contact with Pak Nai during the harvest season, and his agreement to deliver coffee directly to us in Medan instead of others in his region. We keep each of his deliveries separate in order to assess quality between his different lots. Farmers in the Kerinci region only started planting Arabica coffee around 2010. Prior to that, most of the coffee industry influence here was from far South Sumatra, where Robusta is the main crop.

  • The Megalithic Complex of Highland Jambi an Archaeological Perspective
    DOMINIK BONATZ, JOHN DAVID NEIDEL AND MAI LIN TJOA-BONATZ The megalithic complex of highland Jambi An archaeological perspective Introduction The highlands of Sumatra remain one of the most neglected regions of insu- lar Southeast Asia in terms of history and archaeology. No comprehensive research program incorporating both a survey and excavations within a defined geographical or environmental zone has been carried out there since Van der Hoop (1932) conducted his study of the megaliths on the Pasemah plateau in the 1930s. Meanwhile, Van der Hoop’s investigations and several other archaeological research activities at places such as northwest Lampung (McKinnon 1993), Pasemah (Sukendar and Sukidjo 1983-84; Caldwell 1997; Kusumawati and Sukendar 2000), Kerinci (Laporan 1995a, 1996a), and the Minangkabau heartland (Miksic 1986, 1987, 2004) have placed special empha- sis on the megalithic remains. As a result, the megaliths are by far the best- known archaeological attraction of the Sumatran highlands.
