Energy conservation has been mandated in Indonesia since 2009. This energy conservation relied heavily on efficient usage of fossil fuel energy. For agroindustry, one of an efficient way of using energy that could be approached is by having its own power plant fueled by its waste generated from production process. This act of energy conservation leads to an energy self-sufficient industry, that has already happened in some agroindustry sector. For tapioca industry, some papers show the potential to achieve an energy self-sufficient industry however in reality to build one of it is difficult. This paper reviewed current research on energy conservation practice in agroindustry and on conversion of tapioca waste to energy. This paper also discussed ways to assess the feasibility of waste to energy (WTE) technology. In here, we suggest exergoeconomics to appraise the WTE for tapioca industry. We also reviewed exergoeconomics analysis regarding agroindustry and energy conservation. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
