Abstract

This study examines environmental, social, and economic aspects, including GHG emissions, soil quality, and income changes. The study utilizes Fuzzy AHP and MDS to assess sustainability, revealing a moderately sustainable development with a score of 56.14%. Key ﬁndings highlight ﬁve sensitive attributes aﬀecting sustainability, and a score of 56.41% for PKS Terantam suggests reasonable sustainability. Recommendations include extending assessments to other mills, promoting bioenergy conversion into electricity, and adopting a holistic approach to long-term sustainability in palm oil development in Riau. Keywords: palm oil, bioenergy sustainability, environmental impact, social implications, economic aspects
