Abstract

Indonesia faces significant challenges in meeting its growing energy demand while seeking clean, sustainable, and safe energy sources. Nuclear energy is emerging as a potential alternative, supported by the country's substantial uranium reserves. However, nuclear energy development in Indonesia faces various obstacles, including public concerns regarding safety, nuclear non-proliferation issues, and high construction costs. This research aims to analyze the role of Indonesia's energy diplomacy in promoting nuclear energy to the public and internal stakeholders as a solution to improve national energy security. Qualitative research methods were used to evaluate Indonesia's internal diplomatic and promotional efforts, including document analysis and content analysis. The study examined Indonesia's bilateral and multilateral cooperation strategies, as well as its participation in international forums such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), while focusing on domestic education and socialization efforts. A key focus was identifying challenges, opportunities, and best practices in nuclear energy diplomacy and internal promotional campaigns. The research findings highlighted the importance of comprehensive public education, strengthening international cooperation, and implementing strict safety standards in nuclear energy development. Strategic measures identified include strengthening diplomatic capacity, improving transparency and communication with domestic stakeholders, and developing national nuclear technology and regulation capacity. The research concludes that by addressing these challenges through effective energy diplomacy and structured internal promotion, Indonesia can improve its public acceptance and nuclear energy development prospects. This has the potential to ensure the safe, responsible, and sustainable utilization of nuclear energy to meet the country's long-term energy needs and contribute to global efforts in climate change mitigation

Abstract

Waste management, particularly the handling of sewage sludge generated from water treatment and coal slime as a byproduct of mining activities, poses a serious environmental challenge. Co-Hydrothermal Carbonization (co-HTC) technology has emerged as an innovative solution to convert these two types of waste into clean and efficient solid fuel. This study aims to explore the characteristics of the co-HTC process, the environmental benefits it offers, the implementation challenges it faces, and its potential applications in supporting a sustainable energy transition. The research employs a literature review approach, gathering information from scholarly articles, research reports, and policy documents related to co-HTC. The selection of literature is based on topic relevance, publication year, and the quality of research methodology. A critical analysis identifies the main characteristics of co-HTC technology, its environmental benefits, implementation challenges, and application opportunities. The findings indicate that co-HTC can significantly reduce waste volume and produce hydrochar as an alternative fuel with high calorific value and low carbon emissions. Additionally, hydrochar has potential as an organic fertilizer that supports sustainable agriculture. However, challenges such as the cost of oxygen production and the need for infrastructure investment remain significant hurdles.
