Indonesia Pivots to Geothermal Direct Use for Equitable Transition
Indonesia is emphasizing geothermal direct use applications to ensure local communities directly benefit from the energy transition, moving beyond traditional power generation models. This approach addresses the critical challenge of ensuring energy transition benefits reach affected fossil fuel-dependent communities rather than bypassing them.
This model could become a template for emerging economies to build social acceptance and distribute transition benefits more equitably, reducing political resistance to decarbonization.
