__________ MESSAGE from the Chairperson of Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center | |  | | Greetings from Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center (PYC)!
This year has been a really terrific one for all of us at PYC. The highlight for PYC was to have work with brilliant and energetic young researchers and staffs who contribute greatly to the organization. This year, we also understand more on our value proposition as an Indonesia’s think tank in the energy sector and made a change in the way we think about our organization.
This year, PYC held the PYC International Energy Conference (IEC) carrying the theme of “The Role of New, Renewable and Clean Energy in Achieving SDG7: Policy, Investment and Technology”. There were many speakers from Indonesia and abroad who shared their experiences and insights. Also, there were exceptional paper presentations by the students and researchers from Indonesia. Outcomes from this conference are published in the PYC International Energy Conference 2019 Proceeding. This proceeding summarizes all the speakers and paper presenters presentations, as well as works from the winners of the infographic, essay and photo competitions which were held as parts of the PYC IEC 2019 subevents. PYC also initiated on giving awards “PYC Energy Award 2019” for the institutions/people who make significant social impacts through their work in the energy sector. We hope that the PYC Energy Awards could stimulate and encourage more business and technology development in the energy sector and that could bring positive impacts for the environment and society. For this year, PYC gave the PYC Energy Award 2019 to SINARI and Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) for their contribution towards the society. Mr. Wynn Nathaniel Wijaya from SINARI works to provide electricity to the outermost, frontline and disadvantaged regions (3T), while Mrs. Neni Sintawardani from LIPI works to convert the tofu factories’ waste into biogas in Sumedang, West Java. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight the important subject of energy security. PYC adopts energy security as the ability to ensure the energy sustainability for people by considering its availability, affordability, accessibility and acceptability. Given that there are still a few numbers of our young generation who really understand about energy security, PYC held a PYC Millennial Talk to improve their awareness of energy security in Indonesia. This event was also held to commemorate the World’s Energy Day that fell on October 22. The discussion on energy security also will be PYC’s primary focus on the upcoming years and future events will be carried out within this subject.
On the publication side, PYC will release a report titled “Indonesia Energy Kaleidoscope 2019”. This report will highlight notable events in Indonesia’s energy sector throughout 2019. PYC also publishes “Indonesia Renewable Energy Booklet 2019”. The booklet aims to provide the highlight on Indonesia’s renewable energy (RE) development, coupled with data and graphs for the visualization. We hope the booklet would be the main source of information for the stakeholders working in the energy sector. We also are thrilled to inform you that PYC has released its podcast “Energy Drink”. The podcast discusses and talks about some of Indonesia’s energy issues selected by our researchers. On this occasion, we also would like to extend our greatest gratitude to those who supported and collaborated with our organization this year. We are looking forward to continuous and new collaborations in 2020. Also, we realize our organization is growing rapidly, so we are opening again for brilliant, young people to come and join work with us in 2020. On behalf of Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center‘s management and staffs, we wish you a peaceful Merry Christmas 2019 and a very Happy New Year 2020!

| | | | | | | | | | | Akhmad Hanan, a researcher of Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center, published his opinion under the title "Securitization of Energy Infrastructure in Indonesia" on CNBC. The following is a summary of his opinion:
"On September 14, 2019, ten drones attacked the energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The attack was carried out by Yemeni-Iranian Houthi rebel groups targeting Abqaiq plant and Khurais oil field belonged to Saudi Aramco. As a result, the oil production in Saudi Arabia was decreased by 5.7 million barrels of oil per day, about 5% of world oil supply. The attack caused the rising global oil prices. Reflecting on the incidents, Indonesia should be aware of the same threat. The security of national vital objects, especially in the oil and gas sector, need a joint commitment and responsibility from the stakeholders. The securitization concept in Indonesia's energy infrastructure can be implemented by installing air defense systems, long-range missiles and sophisticated radar around the energy infrastructure, which are capable in tracking missiles and drones with a range of more than 400 kilometers. In addition, it is also necessary to put a special military force unit. They must be equipped by sophisticated weapons that can minimize all kinds of threats, both military and nonmilitary attacks."
