Operational evaluation and 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo simulation of biomass co-firing at the Bolok CFB coal plant demonstrated that co-firing 5% wood pellets and coconut shell biomass is economically viable and significantly reduces carbon emissions, securing an immediate anchor off-taker in KIB.

Laboratory testing of coconut shell charcoal briquettes (500°C carbonization, 40–60 mesh, 2,000 kg/cm² compression) achieved calorific value over 7,100 kcal/kg and ash content under 4% with 6% starch binder, exceeding export standards for shisha and premium barbecue briquettes.

Implementation of mechanical coir decortication separating long fiber (cocofiber) from peat dust (cocopeat), providing a scalable machinery blueprint for converting Timor island raw husks into export-grade horticultural blocks and rubberized coir sheets at KIB.

Laboratory testing of coconut shell activated carbon prepared via high-temperature pyrolysis and steam/chemical activation demonstrated iodine numbers of 900–1,100 mg/g, confirming high adsorption capacity suitable for industrial water purification and gas treatment.

National statistical review of coconut acreage, replanting programs, copra yields, and derivative export flows, highlighting Eastern Indonesia and NTT as primary producers of organic, low-cost raw nuts.

Field analysis of community-based VCO production in West Amarasi, evaluating cold-press extraction and local nut supply, identifying mechanical centrifugation and hygienic packaging at KIB as key steps for commercial scaling.

Geospatial census mapping across NTT documenting 674,336 food crop production units (predominantly corn), 33,891 fishery business units, and 149,000 hectares of coconut estates, quantifying the hinterland supply base for KIB.
