DR. AFRIADI SJAHBANA HASIBUAN, MPA, MCom

Coal-Bed Methane, or CBM, is entering the spotlight as an alternative source of energy. The fact that it may become a renewable energy since the gas could keep producing as long as the coal layer exists, makes CBM even more interesting. Furthermore, Indonesia possesses a large amount of CBM resource, totaling of 450 TCF which could last approximately 300 years given the current natural gas consumption rate. Therefore, CBM development in Indonesia is inevitable for maintaining long-term energy security and optimizing the use of Indonesia’s potentials.
This paper provides insights of how synergy and cooperation between all involved parties and stakeholders can make proper, effective, and efficient development of CBM achievable. Discussions regarding innovations of policy that could help bolster companies’ attractiveness of investing in CBM while still concerning the environmental sustainability within the region are also included. The economic growth experienced within the region could hopefully spread to its surrounding areas. Ultimately, if all of the aforementioned points are consistently implemented, improvements in welfare, energy sufficiency, and increasing intelligence of Indonesian nation could be foreseen.
