UI Professor: Batteries hold the key to renewable energy future

A professor from the University of Indonesia emphasized that battery technology is crucial for advancing renewable energy adoption, as renewable sources like solar and wind are inconsistent due to weather conditions. He noted that Indonesia has substantial renewable energy potential, but storage solutions are needed to manage fluctuations in supply. The professor highlighted that affordable batteries could solve most energy challenges, though the transition to renewables requires careful planning and advanced technology. He also mentioned that geopolitical tensions and conflicts have led some nations to revert to fossil fuels, complicating global efforts toward net-zero emissions. Additionally, he acknowledged the high costs associated with replacing coal-based power generation with renewable alternatives.
