"Drawing on political science, economics, philosophy, theology, social anthropology, history, management studies, law, and other subject areas, In Search of Good Energy Policy brings together leading academics from across the social sciences and humanities to offer an innovative look at why science and technology, and the type of quantification they champion, cannot alone meet the needs of energy policy making in the future. Featuring world-class researchers from the University of Cambridge and other leading universities around the world, this innovative book presents an interdisciplinary dialogue in which scientists and practitioners reach across institutional divides to offer their perspectives on the relevance of multi-disciplinary research for 'real world' application. This work should be read by anyone interested in understanding how multidisciplinary research and collaboration is essential to crafting good energy policy."

"ABSTRAKIndonesia still relies heavily on energy derived from fossil fuels, especially petroleum and coal. The large share of fossil energy in the national energy mix can have a negative impact on national development, as it increases the dependence of national energy supplies from imports and increases in green house gas emissions, carbon dioxide. The Government of Indonesia has issued a national energy policy whose goal is to achieve an optimal national energy mix, which is to reduce the share of fossil fuels and icrease the use of renewable energy and can use it to replace fossil fuels. However, the development and utilization of biomass as an energy source is still very small compared to its potentioal. Biomass energy development policy has begun to receive attention from the government, although it is still focused on the development policy has begun to receive attention from the government, although it is still focused on the development and use of liquid biofuels, especially palm oil-based biodiesel. There is no clear policy to support the development and utilization of solid biomass to meet national energy needs. Meanwhile, foreign countries, Korea for example, have developed a strategy to utilize Indonesia's biomass as fuel for their power plants. As a country with huge biomass potential, it is ironic that Inodnesia has not used biomass as a source of energy to support development, while other countries use it. This paper aims to provide policy recommendations for developing biomass energy, both in terms of production capacity and demand for use in the country."

"Fuel plays an important role in indonesia In line with the ongoing development, the consumption of fuei increases rapidly. Considering fuel as a sensitive· commodity, the government maintains the price of fuel at a very low price through subsidy. Later,it is realized that this policy has some negative effects, i.e. inefficiency in fuelconsumption, pollution, discourage the search for alternative energy sources, etc. However. the urgency of revoking fuel subsidy comes from the pressure of state budget ?s condition. Experiencing massive budget deficit, the government plans 10 cutits expenditure by reducing the subsidy. The subsidy reduction will cause the price of fuel to increase. While, we do not know the impact of the increase in fuel price on the economy.In view of that, the objectives of this thesis are. first, to estimate the likely impact of increasing the price of fuel on aggregate output. employment, saving and income distribution. Second, to detennine appropriate policy that may reduce the negative impact resulting from increasing price of fueLThe methodology used in this thesis is computable general equilibrium (CGE), CGEHas been selected because of its capability in describing interaction among sectors within economy. The advantage of using CGE models is that, one constructed, they yield a tractable tool for analyzing a wide range of possible policy changes. By using the CGE model, we do some scenarios of fuel price increase and investigate its impact on the economy The simulation result shows that the policy of increasing fuel price can be used to strengthen government budgeL However, the impact on unemployment should be seriously taken into consideration. Given the more vital role played by HSDO compare with that of gasoline and IDO in the economy, the percentage of price increase in HSDO should be lower than the other if the government wants to softenthe burden to society."
