INDONESIAʼS POLICY AND REGULATION OF GEOTHERMAL ENERGY : Optimising Geothermal Utilisation
Keywords:
natural resources, law, energy law, renewable energySynopsis
Indonesia’s natural resources: is it a blessing or a curse? This question was underlying my passion for focusing on energy law and policy. It was also a question that brought me to research pathways in energy law-related issues. I want to prove that Indonesia’s natural resources could be a blessing, instead of a curse, if we can manage them in a suitable method by highlighting factors related to the utilisation. I have been focusing on this renewable energy issue since 2016. It was a further step from my previous research on fossil fuel management (coal). This book is based on my concern that Indonesia’s geothermal potential needs to be utilised at the maximum level. We have 40% of the world’s geothermal reserves as a consequence of being located in the ring of fire. Unfortunately, we can only utilise less than 10% of the geothermal potential in the country. Therefore, implicitly we have a problem with how to alleviate geothermal utilisation. Maximising geothermal utilisation will be beneficial for supporting Indonesia’s goal of achieving Net Zero Emission by 2060 or sooner, and a sustainable energy transition.
The lack of academic references on geothermal law is my primary motivation to write this book to provide insight for the academic world, lecturers, students, activists, government officials and the public interested in energy issues, particularly geothermal. This book will provide comprehensive references in geothermal law and policy, including a global perspective of energy, geothermal potential in Indonesia, borderless concept of geothermal management, challenges in geothermal utilisation in the country, and a comparative perspective of geothermal utilisation in New Zealand. It also highlighted reformulation geothermal legal formation.
