Abstract

This paper extends the literature on energy sustainability by presenting empirical evidence of the evolution of embodied renewable energy in Indonesia. By employing the environmental input-output analysis, the paper reveals that there was an increasing trend in direct and indirect embodied renewable energy consumption among Indonesia’s 16 industrial sectors. However, the analysis also finds that indirect embodied renewable energy consumption was greater than direct embodied renewable energy use. The findings also show that renewable energy was mainly used to support the manufacturing capacity of various industries. It is surmised that appropriate national regulations and standards should be enacted to promote sustainable energy in Indonesia. The observations in this paper also show that relevant government policies are expected to attract more investment into the Chemical and Other Services as well as Other Industry and Mining sectors as these are the core renewable energy transfer and terminal sectors respectively for the period of observations.
