        "summary": "Indonesia's House of Representatives Commission VI has praised Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia for strengthening the nation's energy resilience amid global volatility, as highlighted in a JP Morgan report ranking Indonesia second worldwide in withstanding energy crises, particularly in oil and gas. Key strategies include boosting domestic oil and gas production, diversifying energy sources through biodiesel and bioethanol programmes, and implementing policies like B50 and E20 to reduce import dependency. The minister's efforts, supported by high domestic coal production and natural gas output, provide a foundation for accelerating the transition to renewable energy for long-term sustainability and global competitiveness.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Chairman of House of Representatives\nCommission VI Nurdin Halid has praised the performance of Energy and\nMineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia following Indonesia\u2019s\nachievements in becoming increasingly resilient against global energy\nfluctuations. Nurdin stated that these accomplishments are inseparable\nfrom the government\u2019s strategic policies, particularly under Bahlil\u2019s\nleadership in the energy sector. The steps taken by the government have\nstrengthened the foundation of national energy independence. \u201cThis is\nnot an achievement that came out of nowhere. There is systematic work\nfrom upstream to downstream carried out by the government. I see that\nthe Energy and Mineral Resources Minister has successfully read the\nglobal situation and prepared Indonesia to be more resilient against\nshocks,\u201d said Nurdin Halid in Jakarta on Thursday. In JP Morgan\u2019s latest\nreport titled \u201cPandora\u2019s Bog: The Global Energy Shock of 2026\u201d,\nIndonesia ranks second in the world as the most resilient country\nagainst energy crises, particularly in the oil and gas sector. Energy\nand Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia employs three main\nstrategies promoted by the government, namely increasing domestic oil\nand gas production, diversifying energy through the biodiesel programme,\nand developing alternative fuels such as bioethanol. According to\nNurdin, policies like B50 and E20 are concrete steps to curb dependence\non energy imports, which has long been a weak point for many countries.\n\u201cAdvanced countries are instead hit hard because they are too reliant on\nimports. Indonesia is now showing a different direction, utilising its\nown resources as the main strength,\u201d he said. Nurdin also stated that\nenergy diversification measures, such as developing dimethyl ether and\ncompressed natural gas (CNG) as substitutes for imported LPG, are\nstrategic decisions amid global supply chain uncertainties. In the JP\nMorgan report, Indonesia\u2019s energy resilience is supported by high\ndomestic coal production and its capacity as a major exporter of thermal\ncoal worldwide. Additionally, Indonesia is recorded as one of the\nimportant global natural gas producers. Nurdin emphasised that this\nachievement must become momentum to accelerate the national energy\ntransition, including the development of renewable energy so that energy\nresilience is not only strong in the short term but also sustainable.\n\u201cGoing forward, we must not stop. Energy resilience must be accompanied\nby a transition to clean energy so that Indonesia is not only resilient\nto crises but also competitive in the future,\u201d he said. Nurdin hopes\nthat synergy between the government, industry players, and society\ncontinues to be strengthened to maintain this positive momentum amid\nincreasingly complex global energy dynamics.<\/p>",
