Geothermal energy has the potential to generate direct social benefits through direct use applications. This potential is currently being realized in Indonesia with the introduction of the Geothermal Coffee Process (GCP) by Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) in the Kamojang area of West Java.
Data from the GCP initiative indicates notable differences in t processing time during the fermentation and drying stages.
Without geothermal, full wash drying typically takes 7 to 10 days, honey processing needs 14 to 30 days, while natural process takes 53 to 42 days. With geothermal, the time for each type of coffee processing becomes shorter, 2 to 4 days for full wash, 4 to 7 days for honey processing, and 7 to 10 days for natural processing.
