Q & A

  • What is the main concern regarding carbon footprint reduction in the last few years?

    -The main concern is the threat of a Global Recession that has overshadowed the issue of carbon footprint reduction, causing many to sideline the development of green energy.

  • What are some examples of new and renewable energy developments in Indonesia?

    -Examples include a beverage factory in Malang that uses organic waste to produce biogas for heating boilers, and a milk factory that processes its organic waste into energy.

  • How is the Indonesian industry transforming its energy use?

    -The industry is becoming more active in utilizing organic waste as a source of energy, with some factories already implementing such practices.

  • What is the role of the online energy management reporting system in Indonesia?

    -Large industries are required to report their energy usage through this system, which helps in understanding the energy consumption at a national level but does not yet provide specific national data.

  • What are the challenges faced by the renewable energy sector in Indonesia?

    -One of the challenges is the lack of specific national data on energy usage, which makes it difficult to quantify the exact size of the renewable energy sector.

  • How is the Indonesian government supporting the development of renewable energy?

    -The government is supporting the development through regulations, incentives, and infrastructure development, such as providing clearer tariffs and encouraging the use of biomass and geothermal energy.

  • What is the significance of the 'co-firing' initiative by PLN in Indonesia?

    -The 'co-firing' initiative involves mixing coal with biomass like rice husks and agricultural waste, which is considered carbon-neutral and helps reduce carbon emissions.

  • What are the potential energy sources for Indonesia's renewable energy mix?

    -The potential energy sources include wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy, with a focus on hydro, solar, and geothermal to achieve the target of 23% renewable energy by 2025.

  • How does the Indonesian government plan to reduce energy consumption and promote energy efficiency?

    -The government is promoting energy efficiency through regulations and incentives, such as revising energy conservation regulations and providing incentives for the development of geothermal energy.

  • What are the economic implications of promoting renewable energy in Indonesia?

    -Promoting renewable energy can lead to increased government revenue or lower electricity prices for consumers, depending on how the revenue is utilized, such as through subsidies.

  • What is the current status of biodiesel and biogas utilization in Indonesia?

    -Biodiesel is already being utilized with 200 megawatts of solar power and around 140 megawatts of wind power. Biogas is also being used, but the exact figures are not detailed in the script.
