Fakta Data: Indonesia Terancam Kelangkaan Energi

Summary

Indonesia, celebrating 75 years of independence, faces a critical energy crisis with dwindling fossil fuel reserves, particularly oil and gas. Projections indicate a net oil import by 2030 and a full transition to gas imports by 2025. Coal, though abundant for the next 60 years, is expected to peak in production by 2034. Despite efforts to reduce oil and gas imports, Indonesia's reliance on fossil fuels remains high, with over 90% of its energy consumption sourced from oil, gas, and coal. The government aims to shift towards renewable energy, targeting 23% renewable energy by 2025 and 31% by 2050 to address the impending energy shortages.

Takeaways

• 😀 Indonesia celebrates its 75th independence anniversary, but faces an energy crisis with limited fossil fuel reserves.
• 😀 By 2030, Indonesia is expected to be a net importer of oil, with a daily import of 1.5 million barrels.
• 😀 Natural gas production is declining, and Indonesia is predicted to become a gas importer by 2025.
• 😀 Coal production will peak in 2034, with a rapid decline in exports expected by 2049.
• 😀 The country's reliance on fossil fuels poses a significant threat to energy security.
• 😀 Indonesia has been running a trade deficit in oil since 2003, with an increasing gap each year.
• 😀 In 2018, the oil deficit reached 977,000 barrels per day, up by 13.79% compared to the previous year.
• 😀 The decline in oil production combined with rising consumption worsens the energy imbalance.
• 😀 In 2019, the oil and gas trade deficit shrank to $9.35 billion, showing some improvement in reducing imports.
• 😀 Indonesia aims to achieve a renewable energy share of 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050, but currently relies heavily on fossil fuels.

Q & A

What is the main energy concern for Indonesia as mentioned in the script?

Indonesia is facing a looming energy crisis due to the depletion of fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal. The country will need to find new energy sources to meet its growing demand over the next 15 years.

By when is Indonesia expected to become a net importer of oil?

Indonesia is expected to become a net importer of oil by 2030, importing approximately 540,000,000 barrels per year or 1.5 million barrels per day.

What is Indonesia's current status in terms of natural gas production and importation?

Indonesia is predicted to experience a decline in gas production and is expected to become a full importer of natural gas by 2025.

How long will coal production continue to be viable in Indonesia?

Coal is projected to remain a significant energy source for Indonesia for over 60 more years, but production is expected to peak by 2034 and decline by 2049.

What is the predicted impact of the decline in coal production on Indonesia's economy?

The decline in coal production could lead to the cessation of coal exports by 2049, which could harm Indonesia's energy security and economic stability.

Why is Indonesia highly dependent on fossil fuels for its energy needs?

Indonesia has been experiencing a deficit in its oil balance since 2003, as oil production cannot keep up with domestic consumption. This growing gap has made the country highly dependent on fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal.

What was the size of Indonesia's oil deficit in 2018?

In 2018, Indonesia's oil deficit increased to 977,000 barrels per day, up by 13.79% compared to the previous year, due to a rise in domestic consumption and a decrease in oil production.

What steps did Indonesia take to control its energy trade deficit in 2019?

In 2019, Indonesia managed to reduce its oil and gas trade deficit to $9.35 billion, down from $12.7 billion in the previous year, through efforts to control oil and gas imports.

What energy mix targets has Indonesia set for 2025 and 2050?

Indonesia has set a target to achieve at least 23% of its energy mix from renewable sources by 2025, and 31% by 2050, as part of its national energy policy.

What is the current percentage of renewable energy usage in Indonesia?

Currently, renewable energy usage in Indonesia stands at about 9%, with fossil fuels still comprising the majority of the energy mix, including oil, gas, and coal.
