CNBC Indonesia, Squawk Box “The Role of Natural Gas in Achieving Energy Self-Sufficiency & Energy Transition Targets”

17 January 2025

Indonesia’s ambition to achieve energy self-sufficiency and accelerate its energy transition is increasingly tied to one critical question: can domestic gas supply keep pace with rising demand? As gas consumption expands across industry, power generation, transportation, and residential use, the gap between resource availability and market needs is becoming more visible—turning gas policy and infrastructure into strategic priorities.

In a discussion on CNBC Indonesia’s Squawk Box, IGS Chairman Aris Mulya Azof emphasized that Indonesia’s gas potential remains substantial, yet structurally challenged. Most remaining reserves are located in deepwater and eastern regions, far from the main demand centers in Java and Sumatra. Addressing this imbalance will require accelerated development of infrastructure, advanced technology, skilled human capital, and long-term investment frameworks. The dialogue underscored IGS’s role in bringing industry perspectives into national conversations on gas policy, energy resilience, and Indonesia’s pathway toward Net Zero Emission 2060.n – starting today.
