Valmet will supply a partial bioconversion for PT . Cikarang Listrindo Tbk ’ s coal-fired circulating fluidized bed ( CFB ) boiler in Babelan , Indonesia . The investment reflects Cikarang Listrindo ’ s initiative for greener energy production and environmentally friendlier operation by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting CO2 emissions . The order was included in Valmet ’ s orders received for the fourth quarter of 2023 . Modification works are scheduled for the first quarter of 2025 . “ The Valmet-delivered CFB boilers started to operate in 2017 at the Babelan Power Plant . In 2021 , Valmet delivered a biomass feeding system for one of the CFB boilers to support green energy production |
at the Babelan Power Plant . Due to positive experiences of using palm kernel shells and then woodchips as a renewable fuel , PT . Cikarang Listrindo has now decided to install a biofuel handling system for the other CFB boiler unit in Babelan Power Plant ,” says Jouni Koskinen , Senior Manager , Sales and Technology , Pulp and Energy , Valmet . “ This new step will allow up to 25 % of the company ’ s total coal consumption to be replaced by biofuel and is in line with the company ’ s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % by 2030 , supporting Indonesia ’ s government ’ s commitment to the energy sector ,” says Sami Sivola , Head of the Environmental Sustainability Team , PT .
