Developing Mutual Value Creation through a Value Chain Analysis of Bio-ethanol Production from Aren and Nypah Plants
ntfp
Aren and Nypah are two alternative plant sources of bio-ethanol that have the potential of replacing fossil fuel in the future. This research will use value-chain analysis to describe the full range of activities that are required to enable aren/nypah biofuel production, describing the different phases of production, the delivery to final consumers and final disposal after use. It will also present both the direct actors in the chain and the indirect actors that support the market system.

The project aims to produce an action plan to guide and enable the efficient production of bio-ethanol in two target communities in Central Kalimantan and Banten in Indonesia.

The Base of the Pyramid

The BoP is a socio-economic designation for the roughly 4 billion individuals who live below $4 per day, living mostly in rural villages and urban slums in developing countries.

Public Value of S&T Innovation

Contrary to popular assumptions, there is the emerging idea of a BOP-centric approach that can tap the market potential of those at the bottom of the pyramid.

About the Project

The project aims to foster innovations that can effectively address the developmental needs of the economically marginalized sector in the region.
