The Sustainable Energy Transition in Indonesia (SETI) consortium revealed that implementing energy efficiency measures in the industrial sector could reduce operational costs by up to Rp10.3 billion per year, equivalent to 28.7 million kWh in energy savings. These findings resulted from an energy audit conducted across five business sectors, including pulp and paper, textiles, and footwear. The audit, carried out between June and August, is part of a collaboration between the

Indonesia and the Netherlands continue to strengthen their strategic partnership in higher education and research through The Week of Indonesia–Netherlands Education and Research (WINNER) 2025 , themed “ Building a Sustainable Future through Education and Research .” The Head of BRIN, Laksana Tri Handoko, emphasized that collaboration in research and education serves as a vital foundation in addressing global challenges such as climate change, health crises, food and energy s

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening research and innovation in the palm oil sector as part of Indonesia’s sustainable development strategy. During the Indonesia Palm Oil Research & Innovation Conference & Expo (IPORICE) 2025, the Head of BRIN’s Research Center for Industrial, Service, and Trade Economics, Umi Mu’awanah, emphasized the importance of collaboration between industry, policy, and technology to address s

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has introduced an innovative method to transform tofu wastewater into a renewable energy source through the Fixed Bed Reactor (FBR) technology using bamboo media. Researcher Dewi Nilawati from BRIN’s Center for Environmental and Clean Technology Research (PRLTB) explained that tofu wastewater contains high organic content and low pH, posing a major threat to be environment it left untreated. The FBR technology developed by BR

The Indonesian government continues to accelerate the implementation of the Waste-to-Energy (PLTSa) project as an integrated solution to address the national waste crisis while expanding the use of renewable energy. This initiative involves cross-ministerial and institutional collaboration among the Ministry of Environment (KLH), the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the State Electricity Company (PLN), and PT Danantara Investment Management as the main investm

The Indonesia government continues to strengthen its integrated waste management efforts through the Waste-to-Energy (WtE) approach using incinerator technology, as a dual situation to tackle the urban waste crisis while generating renewable electricity. Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Yuliot Tanjung explained that this technology has proven effective in several countries such as Singapore and is now being implemented in Indonesia, including in Surabaya

The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), is accelerating the development of Waste-to-Energy (PLTSa, WtE) projects as a dual solution for urban waste management and renewable energy generation. Of the 12 priority regions designated under Presidential Regulation No. 35 of 2018, only two cities have successfully operated PLTSa facilities—Surakarta and Surabaya. The Surakarta PLTSa, managed by PT Solo Citra Metro Plasma Power, proces

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) is developing organic solar cells (OSC) as a new generation of renewable energy technology that is claimed to be more environmentally friendly, flexible, and low-cost to produce. According to BRIN’s Electronics Research Center scientist Yuliar Firdaus, recent studies show that OSC efficiency can theoretically exceed 22% if surface recombination is suppressed and charge mobility is improved. OSCs use organic materials such as
