Next, Prof. Budy explained how the intensity of energy use in Indonesia is decreasing and shows that Indonesia has not been able to adopt efficient technology in energy use. Furthermore, the use of coal in Indonesia also continues to increase, indicating that the adverse effects of coal use are also increasing.
This is also shown by the increase in carbon dioxide emissions which continued to increase from 2004-2018. All those issues showed that the energy security in Indonesia is something that need to be fixed soon. Prof. Budy explained that energy security issue in Indonesia can be managed by regional energy integration and extensive use of renewable energy. Regional energy integration can be done by physically connecting Indonesia’s energy distribution networks with those in othe Southeast Asian countries and developing one market energy system. As for extensive use of renewable energy, Indonesia should start to develop solar, wind, and hydro powers.
