Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) is at the forefront of supporting Indonesia's shift toward clean energy and energy efficiency. Through its dedicated New and Renewable Energy Research Group (EBT) within the Faculty of Law, UNAIR plays a crucial role in guiding government policy development on sustainable energy. This research group is actively engaged in analyzing complex regulatory frameworks and identifying solutions to bolster Indonesia's clean energy transition, in line with national targets of 23% renewable energy in the national energy mix by 2025 and 31% by 2030.

Tackling Regulatory Challenges in Renewable Energy

Addressing Policy Gaps in Indonesia's Energy Transition

Indonesia's renewable energy shift has faced challenges related to regulatory frameworks and policy clarity, which can impact implementation. To address these, UNAIR's EBT group is conducting research on regulatory issues affecting renewable energy policies and facilitating discussion that bring these issues to light. Key findings from this research are shared with government stakeholders through targeted publications and public seminars, sparking valuable discussions on the legal nuances surrounding new and renewable energy sources. 

Proactive Engagement in Policy Recommendations

Through ongoing research and community engagement, UNAIR offers clear, evidence-based recommendations to help government structure policies that support sustainable growth. This include analyzing the complexities of integrating Dimethyl Ether (DME), a fossil-derived product classified as "new energy", which has raised both legal questions and public debate. These discussions underscore the need for balanced policies that support renewable energy while addressing legal and environmental concerns. 

UNAIR’s work aligns with Indonesia’s overarching energy targets as outlined in Presidential Regulation No. 22 of 2017, which aims to integrate renewable energy sources into the nation’s energy mix. The university’s contributions include identifying effective regulatory frameworks that can help the government meet its renewable energy targets and expand clean energy initiatives nationwide. 

With its dedicated approach, UNAIR’s EBT research group offers a critical academic perspective on legal and policy strategies that facilitate Indonesia’s clean energy transition. Through continuous research, policy discussions, and collaborative events, UNAIR demonstrates a strong commitment to fostering sustainable energy practices that resonate with global best practices and advance Indonesia’s national energy security agenda.
