The project aimed to support a private company in estimating the amount, price and sustainability of woody biomass residues available over time within the Surabaya area in East Java province, Indonesia. This study included conducting 44 interviews with actors in wood processing industries (primary and secondary industries) spread throughout a potential supply zone and ranging from small to large industries. The team also collected and analyzed data from national and local governments to provide an overview of the distribution of wood in East Java.

 

Associated with this study was a risk analysis relating to wood from either non-sustainable or illegal sources. This analysis used the industries that were interviewed as sample for predicting legality and sustainability risks as well as generating a risk profile associated with wood from the Indonesian provinces that supply East Java.
