JAKARTA - Indonesia has adequate sources of nuclear energy. Because of its abundant sources, nuclear has the potential to be a source of electrical energy in the future to replace coal.
Meanwhile in Indonesia, the use of coal still dominates the operation of power plants.
Director General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ridwan Djamaluddin, said the world is also actively campaigning for the reduction of fossil energy. Therefore, the use of nuclear energy to replace coal has great potential.
"So that in the future when we will no longer use fossil-based energy, nuclear is one of the big potentials for Indonesia. Apart from having enough raw materials, this energy will also be cheap and the economic impact on our industry will be quite good. ," said Ridwan in a webinar entitled 'Minerba Series entitled Mineral for Energy', Friday, September 10.
Even so, Ridwan did not explain in detail when exactly Indonesia would use nuclear power and build a Nuclear Power Plant (PLTN) to replace fossil or coal-based power plants.
Ridwan said, there are three aspects that can utilize nuclear energy in the future, namely the defense sector, the health sector, to electrical energy. According to Ridwan, the three sectors are strategic sectors in the development of the use of nuclear energy.
"The defense industry includes anti-radar technology, laser weapons and bullets, the health industry for detecting cancer and other diseases. As well as the energy industry for generating and storing electricity," he said.
Not only that, said Ridwan, in the electrical energy sector in addition to storing electricity, this mineral can also be used for the development of electric motorized vehicles. Moreover, he said, the trend going forward is green energy and this is also Indonesia's goal in the future.
"It can be said that this mineral will be the raw material for future industries," he explained.
