Abstract:
|
lndonesia has abundant renewable energy sources reaching an estimated
amount of about 162.3 G We comprising of geothermal, solar, wind, snall hydro and
the biomass. Despite of the huge potential of these clean and environmentally friendly
energy sources, its utilization up to now has been very limited to about a mere 3-4
%. Our previous experiences in implementing pilot projects on renewable energy
technology have lacked their focus on productive uses on these energy sources
especially to accelerate the growth of rural industrialization. Therefore, in the future,
the develpment of renewable energy technology in the future should then be directed
toward their productive uses tp provide more job opportunities in the village, help
in increasing added value of natural resources available in each provinces which
could result in poverty reduction and ultimately improve the quality of life of our
community at large. The recent publication of National Energy Management Blue
Print (2005-2025) by the government can be used as basis for national energy
planning but should be further improved by including the most probable road map
of energy resources development including market opportunity of renewable technology
energy based on the kind of locally available energy sources. Accordingly more
realistic energy management Blue Print can be created which could ensure equitable
and sustainable regional development in lndonesia. |
