Abstract
This study focused on Indonesian palm oil process from plantation to Crude Palm Oil mills and compared the characteristics of bio-waste utilization with other country mills. And also it aimed at developing an environmental impact inventory of palm oil production process and getting insight of low environmental impact bio-waste utilization methods by comparing with several bio-waste usages. The results showed that eutrophication, climate change and acidification problems were recognized as main environmental impacts. Countermeasures for Palm Oil Mill Effluent must be an effective method from the perspective of tackling with eutrophication and climate change problems. Then Inputs of bio-wastes to plantation can reduce environmental impacts by reducing chemical fertilizer inputs.
