Renewable Energy Literacy in Supporting Geothermal Project in Indonesia: Where Are We Now?

Abstract

In developing geothermal energy as one of the backbones of renewable energy in Indonesia's energy mix, all stakeholders' participation and collaboration are required. The level of involvement will most likely be influenced by the level of energy literacy education, which might be implemented through formal and informal education. The initial question raised by this study is the extent to which Indonesia applies energy literacy education. To answer this question, the authors conducted a mapping of all learning types related to renewable energy, especially geothermal, in Indonesia's various institutions. Furthermore, this study will also compare geothermal producing countries' energy education methods other than Indonesia. Finally, this study is expected to provide recommendations regarding various things that can be improved to support Indonesia's geothermal development.
