This study calculates the potential for post-replanting oil palm trunk waste in Riau Province, Indonesia, to be used as fuel for power plant cofiring. A remote sensing method that combines time series imagery from Landsat 8 and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is used to detect the first year of the plantation. Determination of a 50 km radius from the power plant as the limit of the potential area of raw material is needed to get optimal transportation cost. The results obtained 268,077 tons/year of palm oil trunk, sufficient to meet the need to cofire 5% of daily fuel requirements.
