The threat of energy scarcity in the future and the environmental impacts of fossil fuels make ITS continue to developing innovation of new and renewable energy. ITS innovation on environmentally friendly energy is implemented through research activities shaded by the Center for Energy Studies under the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM).
Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Center for Energy is committed to supporting government programs in maintaining the security and sustainability of energy in Indonesia. This objective is related to the National Energy Policy as stipulated in the Energy Policy White Paper of 2005-2025 as well as in the General Plan of National Energy (RUEN) contained in the government regulations.
In energy management, ITS Center for Energy puts forward the principles of fairness, sustainability, and environmental insight. This is completed to realize the independence and security of national energy. The main pillar of the ITS Center for Energy is conducting research and community service related to energy intensification, energy diversification and energy conservation.
The Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Center for Energy has contributed to accelerate the development of renewable energy in Indonesia, among them are the establishment of the Center for Energy Conservation, raising the price of fuel and electricity or reducing subsidies, and strengthening the capacity of institutions and human resources related to energy development. ITS innovation in green energy comes from water, wind, geothermal, currents and ocean waves, solar cells, to biomass.
Research activities at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Center for Energy is focused on three areas:
1. Energy Diversification
2. Energy Intensification
3. Energy Management and Energy Auditor
The Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Center for Energy has a collection of experts conducting research in new and renewable energy fields. The center has access to advanced research facilities at the ITS Energy and Environmental Laboratory. The research instruments contained in this laboratory include SEM-EDX, XRD, AFM, ICP-OES, XRF, HRMS, HPLC, and GC that are related to research needs in alternative energy fields. In addition, the laboratory is also equipped with field survey equipment in the form of laboratory automobiles with the ability to conduct water, soil and air quality analysis such as pH, DO, nitrate ion content, nitrite, sulphate, ammonia and chloride, water conductivity, CO, CO2, NOx, SOx, humidity, airborne dust, vibration and noise measuring devices, explosive vibration gauges, cetane and octane number measuring instruments, damp gauge and BBG measuring tools.
