ALTERNATIF PENYEIMBANG STOK KARBON UNTUK PENGGUNAAN KAWASAN HUTAN (STUDI KASUS : PT. PERTAMINA GEOTHERMAL ENERGY (PGE)/ STAR ENERGY GEOTHERMAL WAYANG WINDU LIMITED (SEGWWL) DI KABUPATEN BANDUNG)

Abstract

The intended use of forest areas by PT. PGE / SEGWWL for geothermal exploitation of ± 78.31 ha in Bandung regency, is expected release carbon stored as biomass. PLTP is a strategic national initiative, so as to support the GHG emission reduction policies is necessary to study alternative carbon stock balancer. Sampling methods without harvesting (Non-destructive sampling) and using allometric equations from previous studies are used for calculation of carbon release and carbon sequestration potential. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to select the best alternative carbon stock balancer. The results of the research showed that estimate carbon release from forest area use plan is equal to 11.066,99 tons C. For balance,reforestation prospective land compensation is expected to sequester carbon by 5.016,66 tons C yr-1. Shortage of carbon equivalency of 6.050,32 tons C yr-1 can be filled with 3 alternative building private forests are 1) Jatiputih (Gmelina arborea Roxb) area of 50,17 ha, 2) Mindi (Melia azedarach L) covering an area of 94.14 ha, and 3) Eukaliptus (Eucalyptus Pellita F. Muell) covering an area of 86,86 ha. The best alternative selected using AHP method is to build a private forest of Jatiputih (Gmelina arborea Roxb)
