Carbon Stores and CO2 Absorption Potential in Palm Oil Reclamation Area PT. Borneo Indobara (BIB), Tanah Bumbu District, South Kalimantan

Abstract

Stored carbon in plant coconut palm will experience change along with growth and development plant, where rate growth plants and carbon stored will affected by conditions fertility as well as topography soil in the planting area plant coconut palm. Study This aim For do analyze savings carbon and potential CO2 absorption in the reclamation area plant coconut palm oil at PT. Indobara Borneo (BIB). The research was conducted in the Batulaki Palm Oil Reclamation Area at PT. BIB, Administratively PT BIB with a work agreement area of 24,100 ha. Carbon storage in the reclamation area of PT. BIB in 2009 - 2013 amounted to 4,837.87 tons with a total reclamation area of 101.15 ha. CO2 absorption potential in the reclamation area of PT. BIB in 2009 – 2013, namely 17,754.99 tons of CO2 The model for estimating carbon storage in oil palm plantations in the reclamation area until the end of the mine (2036) uses a linear regression equation model with an R2 value of 0.96 4 with the resulting model " y=2.1341" ("x" )" - 7.7287". Based on the resulting model, it is predicted that the carbon stock of oil palm plants in 2036 will be 52.6 tons C/Ha.
