			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just spent my time browsing websites and blogs related to green tech and clean energy business and I see super big opportunities lies ahead of us. Not only that, seems like the world&#8217;s trend are marching at the same direction. To the right direction <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
For Indonesia, actually we need to spend our time to tweak and fine-tune what will be the best energy scenario that applicable for the country. I do believe with all natural resources, fossil and alternative, we could be an energy-independent country in the next 10-20 years. Well, if we want to we can start to set our objective on to that. I am not sure if our current government is already mature and aware of all the energy issue or not, but to set that objective we need a good political will from the government. It becomes the key ingredient to push the new energy system running.<br />
Two things, which might have huge opportunities for developing energy business in Indonesia in short term; coal-bed methane (CBM) and geothermal.</p>
<p>For quick reasons:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbmasia.ca/overview.php" target="_blank">CBM Asia</a> mentioned that Indonesia CBM opportunity, which found in East Kalimantan province, was estimated to 450 trillion cubic ft (TCF), compared to the country&#8217;s current 97.8 TCF proven natural gas reserves. Outside Kalimantan, we still have vast coal reserves in South Sumatera, which might hold the reserve too (well, I don&#8217;t know yet).</p>
<p>Geothermal; no doubt about that, since Indonesia archipelago is parts of Pacific Ring of Fire, the volcanic belt, the major resource of geothermal. It&#8217;s kind a weird since we have 250s identified geothermal location, spread from Sumatera, Java, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi till Maluku, but only few that been already developed.</p>
<p>[Darn, I need to dig deeper on those two later].</p>

<p>This move in alternative energy portfolio will strengthen BP position as power and energy provider in the future. Seems like they&#8217;re trying to capture all possible energy resources and make the most out of it. </p>
<p>If they start working it out, what it will be in the next 10 or 20 years? I believe all clean and green energy consumption will be available for most us. Seems like the trend is going the same way. Besides optimizing their current brown and declining reservoir Big Oil have to get something else to get going. Well, seems everyone is realizing that they/we cannot rely on fossil fuel for the rest of our life. Change the course. Think alternative. Think hybrid. Think about combining and making the best out of couple energy resources. Think anything possible.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a start. A Good Start. (This I believe).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Production Enhancement</p>
<p>2. Reservoir Optimization</p>
<p>Apply it, think about it, do it.<br />
Let your decisions made are based on these two credo.</p>
<p>It is not necessarily about new technology application, but more on knowing your reservoir, knowing on what your doing, and [quite a bit] common sense. Also please don&#8217;t forget that clean execution is above all that matters.</p>
<p>Well, since current oil price is still lays on bottom of $forties, I think we should wait until it bounce back to its reasonable profitable price in order to push for new technology application. But let not the spirit of innovation faded, yet keep pushing towards new energy frontiers, playing field where &#8220;clean and efficient&#8221; are worshiped above production capacity.<br />
So, let&#8217;s enhance and optimize. Now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tahun 2009.<br />
Awal tahun ini dunia energi alternatif tampak semakin berkembang. Walaupun diwarnai dengan krisis finansial yang entah kapan berakhirnya, proyek pengembangan energi alternatif – energi bersih tampaknya sudah menjadi keharusan. Bukan melulu demi kepentingan lingkungan hidup, melainkan sudah menjadi urgensi saat bahan bakar fosil sudah melewati puncaknya, dan decline, antara 5 – 8% rate sudah menjadi hukum alam.</p>
<p>Dari hasil browsing dan searching baik di internet maupun majalah, nama T. Boone Pickens tampak memikat saya. Seorang kakek 80an tahun, veteran minyak, bilyuner Texas ini hendak membangun windfarm yang akan menghasilkan listrik 4,000 mega watt. Sebuah proyek senilai US$10billion dengan perkiraan return 15-25%. Well, ternyata clean energy bukanlah melulu memajukan dalih lingkungan hidup. Tetapi tetep saja berujung pangkal duit. Tidak bisa dipungkiri juga kalau siapa yang menguasi energi menguasai dunia.</p>
<p>Satu hal yang menarik perhatian saya lagi adalah terpilihnya Bupati Sragen, Untung Wiyono, dalam jajaran “ A Few Good Men” versi majalah Tempo edisi awal tahun ini. Sebagai wong Sragen (meski Sragen perantauan), saya merasa bangga, karena (akhirnya) ada juga yang bisa dibanggakan dari kabupaten ini. Dia terpilih atas kepemimpinannya dalam memberdayakan internet sebagai bagian dari pelayanan publik. Sebuah &#8216;cool&#8217; project dengan judul One Stop Service ini memang menjadi proyek percontohan daerah-daerah lain untuk menerapkan e-government.</p>
<p>Saya berandai-andai, kapan ya energi/resources bisa menjadi another &#8216;cool&#8217; project di Sragen. Tidak usah membangun widfarm, lha wong angin di Sragen juga cuman sepoi-sepoi aja.<br />
Bagaimana dengan menjadi pioneer pemakaian solar cell untuk penerangan jalan?<br />
Atau proyek geothermal? Secara Sragen juga deket dengan Gunung Lawu, yang meski sudah tidak aktif, tetapi banyak ditemukan sumber air panas. Perhaps I don&#8217;t have any clue of what I&#8217;m talking about. But who does? Well, who knows? Semua perubahan bisa terjadi, hanya diperlukan sebuah inisiatif. Inisiatif yang didukung oleh political will dari pemerintah, akan dapat dirasakan hasilnya lebih cepat oleh masyarakat.<br />
Untuk sesuatu yang baru memang harus ada yang memulai. Saya bangga, Sragen (or Pak Untung) mau memulai sesuatu yang baru. Dan saya berharap Sragen juga memulai revolusi-revolusi baru lainnya.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tidak ada seorangpun yang tahu pasti berapa sisa minyak yang masih diam diperut bumi. Dan tidak ada yang tahu pula sampai kapan sumber energi konvensional hidrokarbon ini bisa diekstrak. Namun satu hal yang pasti, bahwa produksi minyak dunia bisa didekati secara kasar terdistribusi serupa <em>bellcurve</em>. Jadi, pada saat produksi sudah mencapai puncak kurva, <strong><em>peak oil</em></strong>, <em>decline</em> tidak akan dapat dicegah lagi. Ini berarti bahwa planet ini sedang kehabisa sumber energi konvensionalnya. Sampai sekarang <em>decline rate</em> produksi minyak dunia masih menjadi perdebatan para ahli. Parameter ini krusial, karena dunia perlu tahu sampai kapan kita bisa bertahan dengan minyak.  </p>
<p>Teori <em>Peak Oil</em> pertama dipopulerkan oleh <a title="Hubbert@Wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._King_Hubbert" target="_blank">M. King Hubbert</a>, seorang geologist dari <a href="http://www.shell.com" target="_blank">Shell</a> pada kisaran tahun 1940 &#8211; 1960an. Hubbert meramalkan bahwa produksi minyak US akan berada pada puncaknya sekitar tahun 1970an. Pertama kali prediksinya mengundang banyak kontroversi. Dunia tidak siap dengan mimpi buruk; kehilangan sumber energi, meski mereka tahu kalau minyak suatu saat akan habis. Para ahli kemudian mengaplikasikan analisis Hubbert untuk menghitung <em>peak oil</em> dunia. Berbagai macam skenario dari yang paling optimis hingga yang pesimis. Meski disebut optimis, tetap produksi minyak tidak akan bisa naik lagi sebelum pertengahan abad ini. Kebanyakan berpendapat bahwa <em>peak oil</em> dunia ada dikisaran tahun 2015. Setelah itu produksi akan menurun dengan landai. Pada saat itu berapa ya harga /bbls-nya?</p>
<p><a href="http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp47/iwanih/PeakOil-question-mark.jpg"></a><a href="http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp47/iwanih/PeakOil-question-mark.jpg"></a><a href="http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp47/iwanih/PeakOil-question-mark.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp47/iwanih/PeakOil-question-mark.jpg" alt="" width="409" height="144" /></a></p>
<p>Saat ini dunia sudah merasakan urgensi untuk beralih sumber energi dari konvensional ke alternatif. Bagaimanapun juga kita masih harus menyalakan planet ini, membuatnya terus berputar, dan melanjutkan kehidupan. Beberapa alternatif memang mengundang kontroversi tersendiri, baik dari segi ketidakmampuan teknologi, kepanikan massal, dampak lingkungan, dan faktor keserakahan. Duh, kompleks! Tapi tidak bisa tidak! Kita harus melangkah untuk mencari sumber energi alternatif. Saya percaya, dengan sound engineering judgement, excellent management system, dan good political will &amp; governance dunia akan bisa mencapai kesinambungan energi.    </p>
<p>Beberapa sumber energi alternatif yang telah dikembangkan:</p>
<ol>
<li>Bahan bakar hayati</li>
<li>Sumber hidrokarbon non-konvensional seperti: gas methane batubara, batubara jadi minyak, pasir tar, dan heavy oil.</li>
<li>Energi matahari</li>
<li>Energi angin</li>
<li>Energi gelombang dan air.</li>
<li>Energi nuklir</li>
</ol>

<p>Dicari! solusi holistik dan fit for purpose untuk terus menghidupkan miliaran &#8220;lampu&#8221; tersebut bila Anda tidak ingin kelak padam dan kita hidup dalam kegelapan (visualisasi: hilangkan semua titik-titik putih pada gambar diatas).</p>
