Noting the potential of renewable and sustainable energy resources in the country, the government must pay more attention on how to utilize it. Considering natural condition and geography, this country is blessed with great potential of renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, micro hydro and biomass energy. Although the country encourages utilizing renewable energy, the contribution is only around 3%. The energy mixes in Indonesia based on five main resources these are crude oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, and renewable energy. Facing such an unfavorable situation, the government of Indonesia prioritizes on energy supply securities by diversification of energy resources. Utilization of fossil fuel continuously contributes to huge amount of greenhouse gases emission that leads to climate change. The country’s energy consumption still depends on non-renewable energy such as crude oil, coal and natural gas as sources of energy. Indonesia is one of the developing countries and energy supply is an important factor for all-around development. This projected consumption will increase 1.5% per year until 2030 and reach 16,900 Mtoe and the main drivers of this growth are mostly developing countries in Asia. The fuel consumption was growing from 6630 million tons of oil equivalents (Mtoe) in 1980 to 11,163 Mtoe in 2009. The global energy consumption is likely to grow faster than the population growth.
