LIFESTYLE - Oil reserves in the bowels of the Earth Indonesia, without any new exploration is predicted to be depleted 12 years-15 years. Meanwhile, the development of non-fossil energy in Indonesia is still minimal.
It was compounded by the continued rise of national oil consumption. At this moment, the figure has reached 1.6 million barrels per day (CPD).
The oil production is only 600,000 BPH BPH-800,000. The imbalance between oil production continues to fall with domestic consumption continues to rise makes imports can not be inevitable.
Predictable, figures oil imports will continue to grow from year to year until it reached 1 million-2 million BPH BPH in the 2020-2025 period.
"Obviously this is very worrying," said energy analyst and Director of the Indonesian Resources Studies Marwan Coal to Kompas.com, Jakarta, Thursday (12/01/2016) night.
The concerns were well-founded. Moreover, the government considered not showing seriousness develop energy beyond oil.
In fact, there is great potential for developing the gas industry, geothermal energy or geothermal energy for electricity and ethanol for fuel.
Unfortunately, the seriousness of it is considered not visible. In fact, he also highlighted the funding cut fuel subsidies that the government has not seemed to flow for renewable energy development.
Likewise, the budget in the Directorate-General of New and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) MEMR precisely trimmed in APBN-P 2016. Various problems in the energy sector must be resolved.
Therefore, future generations will bear a heavy burden due to the problem.
"We will experience an energy crisis," said Marwan.
Indonesia believed would continue to depend on oil imports when there is no seriousness develop new energy sources. As a result, foreign exchange will continue to drain only for oil imports.
The increase in world oil prices to 80 dollars to 100 dollars per barrel as a few years ago is still a shadow.
If it happens again, then the government has to spend more rupiah to oil imports.
In terms of the state budget, the government has exhausted increase state revenues amid weak global economic growth, commodity prices, until the financial market turmoil.
In fact, the budget is the spirit of the nation's economy and development.
"Finally, the energy crisis could bring or lead to the economic crisis. Why? That's because we are highly dependent on imports, "said Marwan.
