Abstract

Indonesia's exceptional geothermal position along the Pacific Ring of Fire presents the nation with an opportunity to develop hydrothermal vent energy as a significant renewable resource, with a potential estimated at 29,000 megawatts. However, despite this promise for energy resilience, formidable technological barriers have prevented the practical implementation of deep-sea thermal systems. This study investigates the primary technological challenges through systematic literature analysis and descriptive research, examining six critical domains: material durability and corrosion resistance, subsea engineering design and equipment reliability, thermal energy extraction and efficiency, infrastructure deployment and maintenance, ecosystem protection, and regulatory frameworks. By synthesizing findings from academic research, government reports, and industry expertise, the research reveals both substantial obstacles and emerging solutions. At the same time, challenges are significant, encompassing material degradation, system reliability, thermodynamic efficiency, and deep-sea deployment. Practical pathways forward exist through the use of advanced materials, innovative engineering, rigorous testing, and adaptive environmental management. The study proposes a phased implementation strategy that progresses from research and pilot demonstrations through technology refinement to commercial deployment. This work offers essential guidance for policymakers, engineers, and energy security specialists seeking to harness Indonesia's hydrothermal potential while maintaining environmental sustainability, operational reliability, and advancing national energy resilience.

Abstract

The transition to renewable energy requires competent human resources (HR) to achieve national energy security. This study examines Indonesia's HR readiness for the energy transition through an integrated perspective on energy security and the defense science philosophy. This systematic literature review analyzed 15 high-quality sources (from 30 initially identified, 2020-2025) to examine human resources readiness for Indonesia's energy transition. Using a PRISMA-aligned methodology, 13 key studies (11 journal articles and two institutional reports) were selected for detailed analysis, with two additional sources supporting the development of the thematic framework. The analysis integrates perspectives on energy security, defense science, and defense anthropology to identify HR readiness challenges, with particular emphasis on regional disparities. Despite Indonesia's renewable energy target of 17%-19% for 2025 (revised from an initial target of 23%), current realization remains at only 13.1% (2024), revealing critical competency gaps in the human resources sector. Key findings include: Indonesia ranks sixth globally for energy-sector emissions (691.97 million tons of CO2 in 2022); significant geographic disparities exist, with Java having 204 educational institutions for energy training, compared to only 3 in remote provinces. Required competencies encompass multidisciplinary technical skills, adaptability to technology, and security-aware soft skills. Policy recommendations include energy security-based training programs, competency certification standards, the establishment of an HR energy security council, and the integration of defense anthropology principles into HR development. This research provides a strategic understanding of HR readiness requirements essential for supporting Indonesia's equitable energy transition toward sustainable national energy security.
