The WGC2010 Theme “Geothermal:
Energy to Change the World” signals
the need for changes – especiallyto counteract global warming – aswell as the favorable characteristics
of geothermal technology,
providing sustainable, indigenous,
environmentally friendly energy supply
worldwide, independent of dailyor seasonal variations. Geothermalenergy development needs a boost ofincreasing annual growth, not to fallbehind wind and solar photovoltaic
growth that clearly exhibits exponential
increase in installed capacity.
Now being at the Congress takeall advantages: meet many friends
and colleagues, present and learn
about results of scientific researchand technology development,
strengthen existing and develop new
personal contacts, establish business
opportunities in a more and moreglobal market place, see the available
products and services at the Exhibition,
take part in the Field Trips. Besides,
participate in the various cultural, socialand sightseeing events of the Congress
Program. And last but not least: enjoy
the magnificent setting of Bali!
Here I take the opportunity to­thank­Congress Sponsor and Co-Con­ve­nor INAGA (Indonesian Geothermal
Association, Dr. Surya Darma, Pre­si­dent),
the Organizing Committee (Dr. Her­man Darnel Ibrahim, President, IGA’s
Steering Committee (Dr. Gordon ­­Bloom­
quist,­­President), and all the nu­me­rous
helpers, Sponsors, etc. who wor­ked hardto organize a great event.

I wish you an unforgettable
time at WGC2010!

Surya Darma
President of the Indonesia
Geothermal Association (INAGA)

On behalf of members of the Indonesia­
Geothermal Association (INAGA),
I warmly­welcome all delegates to theWorld Geothermal Congress (WGC)
2010 in Bali, Indonesia. It is a greathonor for INAGA to co-convene thisevent, and we hope that this congress
will steer us further ahead in our quest
to solve the global energy crisis.
Indonesia, a country blessed withsome 28,000 MW of geothermal energy
potential, offers attractive business
opportunities worth nearly US$50
billion, out of which just less than
five percent have been tapped. The
Indonesian Government has asserted
that geothermal development will
be given special priority to meetthe increasing demand for new andalternative energy sources.
Let’s put our heads together
during this WGC and find solutions
to overcome the complex challenges
faced in today’s environment. The
outcome of our discussions will bein the form of the WGC2010 Bali
Declaration which will be in theinterest of mitigating global warming
and climate change issues.
So, welcome to Bali! I look forward
to seeing you and trust you will enjoy
your time at the WGC2010.

potential,­­however only 1196MW are already utilized,”
said Darwin Zahedy Saleh, the Minister of Energy andMineral Resources. Therefore this forum is useful not
only for Indonesia i.e. to attract investors, but thepresence of chief executive officers and chief financeofficers from all over the world will also take benefitsof the development of geothermal power globally.
It is not only Bali who has been ready to welcome­the arrival of over 2000 participants from at least 85
countries, the committee of WGC2010 since 2006
has also prepared this momentous event, a year after­
the closing of the conference in Turkey. As has been
said by Dr. Herman Darnel Ibrahim, the chairman­of the committee of WGC2010, since 2006 thecongress­has been carefully prepared. “The congress­
is a meeting­ forum among scientists, experts­,
industrialists,­ developers,­ operators, and regulators­of geothermal industries, as well as business­ related to geothermal power. The participants of thecongress­ will share new science, new technology,
and new experience­ in all aspects of geothermal
power, beginning from Earth Science, Upstream andDownstream Engineering,­ Maintaining Operation &Development up to Funding,” he explained.
About the theme, he added that this theme isalmost a dream, but it’s true geothermal can change
the world if we can change geothermal itself.”
According to him the world is expecting­WGC2010
to lead further developments of geothermal­ powerin the world. WGC2010 is also expected to create adeclaration­­ (Bali Declaration) on the development of

contribution to national and regional capacity­and production of countries. The following­
countries­ or regions lead in this contribution­with more than 5% of the electrical­ energy
supplied­ ­by geothermal power, based on
preliminary­ data from WGC2010: Lihir Island(Papua New Guinea), Tibet, San Miguel Island(Azores), Tuscany­ (Italy), Iceland, El Salvador,
Kenya­, Philippines, Nicaragua, Guadaloupe(Caribbean),­Costa Rica and New Zealand.
DIRECT UTILIZATION
One of the significant changes for WGC2010
was the increase in the number of countries
reporting­ usage. Six countries were added
to the list in the current report, up from 2005

4

columnfigures­. There has also been a large increasein geothermal (ground-source) heat pumpinstallations. At present, they are the largest
portion of the installed capacity (69.7%) and
49.0% of the annual energy usage.
In terms of the contribution of geothermal­
direct-use to the national energy budget, twocountries stand out: Iceland and Turkey. In
Iceland, it provides 89 % of the country’s
space heating needs, which is important sinceheating­ is required almost all year and saves
about 100 million US$ in imported oil. Turkey
has increased their installed capacity over the
past five years from 1,495 MWt to 2,084 MWt,most for district heating systems.

ENERGY SAVINGS
Using geothermal energy obviously replaces
fossil fuel use and prevents the emission ofgreenhouse gases. If we assume that geothermal­energy replaces electricity generation, theconversion­efficiency is estimated at 0.35 (35%). If
the replacement energy for direct-use is provided
by burning the fuel directly, then about half thisamount would be saved in heating systems (35%vs. 70% efficiency). The savings in fossil fuel oil isequivalent to about three days (1%) of the world’s
consumption.

electricity­generation has increased significantly
over the past 40 years, ranging from 3-11%
annually.­ Direct-use has remained fairly steadyover this period at 10% growth annually. Now,
78 countries report utilizing geothermal­energy,­
an almost eight-fold increase in participation.­
At least 10 countries are expected­ to beonline­ by 2015. Developments in the future
will include­ greater emphases on combined
heat and power plants. The largest growth will
include­ the installation and use of geothermalheat pumps, as they can be used anywhere in
the world.

INTERVIEW

WGC2010 is a Barometer of Geothermal Science andTechnology Development
Dr. R. Sukhyar, The Head of the Geology Agency, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia
Indonesia is elected by
the International Geothermal
Association­ to host the World
Geothermal Congress (WGC)
2010. Through this event,Indonesia­hopes to show the world its commitment
in reducing­ the emission by utilizing a renewableenergy and to gain benefits of geothermal-power
science and technology sharing and investment. The
following is the excerpt of interviews with the head of
the Geology Agency, Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr. R. Sukhyar,on the hopes of Indonesia in the WGC2010:
What is your comment on the World Geothermal­
Congress 2010 (WGC2010) in Bali?
We are thankful that we are trusted to host
WGC2010. This is particularly a rare event since it is
only held once in five-years.
This event is also a result of a long process­beginning­ five years ago when we outdid
competitors­ from other countries, among of which
are developed countries with developed geothermal­
power technology such as Iceland and Germany.­­
What is your expectation of WGC2010? What
are the benefits of WGC2010for Indonesia?
We want to prove to the world that Indonesiancommitment­ to reduce emission, one of which
through the utilization of geothermal power, isactually­ ­­done, that is by the acceleration of electric­
installment development by using renewable energy­of geothermal­ power. In WGC2010, the Indonesian
government­disseminates this message to the world:
follow Indonesia!
Further more, we want to promote Indonesian
tourism as well. Tourism has been our concern since

the policies that the government has taken,­ i.e.
using­ selling price, will attract attentions­ and­in­terests­­­ of businessmen and market participants­in the WGC2010 forum. I think Indonesia will remain center of investor’s attentions.
We have to fix our infrastructure in the areasof operation that should be observed both by thecentral and local governments. The next thing is
the awareness of local government to provide
operational­ease in Indonesian regions.
we own many tourist objects near areas of active
volcanoes where geothermal power is contained.
So we cannot separate geotourism from the many
geothermal sources and volcanoes in Indonesia. Thiskind of concept should be extended and introduced
to the world.
We need to also make use of this event to learn
from the world’s experts coming to WGC2010,
especially­ those from developed countries, toenhance­ geothermal power in Indonesia, since thisevent can be a barometer for the development ofgeothermal science and technology.
Considering our government’s great concern­
toward­ geothermal power, this event can bealso used to increase international interests on
geothermal­investment in Indonesia.

How prospective is Indonesian geothermal potential?
Indonesia has a great geothermal potential. Around35-40% of the world’s geothermal power can befound in Indonesia. Indonesia should have madeoptimum the geothermal usage for local power;
since geothermal power cannot be transported, itshould be optimally managed for local use.
If only we can use 9000MW of geothermal
power, we can economize on fuel around 4 billion­
barrels. That is magnificent, not to mention theadvantage we get from the reducing of CO2, I am
sure million tons of CO2 can be reduced. From theperspective of resources, Indonesia has the greatest
deposit of geothermal power; right now it achieves
the number of 28.000MW.

To enhance and process Indonesian geothermal
potential, what can be offered for prospective
investors through WGC2010 in order to invest inIndonesia?­
We use this event to inform projects with available
commitments, so­mething attracting at­ten­­­tion. The
government offers working area for ex­plo­ra­tion­to­ge­ther­­with its policies.
I think if we do comparison with other countries,­

What about the domestic geothermal power­usage?
We must not see the geothermal power usage
only from electrical usage, but also for direct usage. However, direct usage of geothermal power
has not been developed, for example to desiccate
agricultural­ products such as tea, corn, rice, copra,
and coffee. We should pay more attentions tothese in the future.

Star Energy Geothermal (wayang windu) Ltd (SEGwwL) is private Indonesian energy producer. It
operates one of the largest geothermal power projects in Indonesia (the “wayang windu” geothermal
power plant) which is located 40 kilometers south of Bandung, in the province of west Java. The
geothermal reserves are located within a 12,950 hectare concession area located close to the town ofPangalengan.
wayang windu commenced commercial operations in June 2000 from one 110 mw geothermal turbinegenerator unit. The Company increased its installed generation capacity by 117 mw in march 2009 withthe start of commercial operations of wayang windu Unit 2, raising total installed capacity to 227 mw.
The facility now contains two turbine/generator units, housed in the largest single geothermal power
station in Indonesia . The facilities provide base load generation capacity to the JAmALI (Java-maduraBali) high voltage electricity transmission grid of PLN (Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company).
SEGwwL has a Joint Operation Contract with PT. Pertamina Geothermal Energy and an Energy Sales
Contract with PT. PLN to supply up to 400 mw to PLN for 42 years.
th

On February 12 2010, SEGwwL closed a five-year issue of US$350 million of secured notes. The
issue was 2.85 times oversubscribed, attracting almost US$1.1 billion in total orders. Of the total bonds
sold, 44 percent went to buyers in Asia, 40 percent to the United States and the rest to Europe.
Standard Chartered Bank, Barclays Capital and Nomura were the lead banks for the bond sale, which
was marketed in Hong Kong, Singapore, London and the United States. The success of the Bond issue
reflects international market confidence to SEGwwL performance.
SEGwwL is planning to use a portion of the funds raised from the bonds, as initial capital for a 130 mw
expansion project at wayang windu which is scheduled to begin operation in 2013. The expansion
project is part of phase 2 of the Indonesian Government fast track program for development of anadditional 10,000 mw of electricity generation capacity in Indonesia within the next decade, of which
3.583 mw is expected to be provided by geothermal.
Apart from wayang windu field, Star Energy Geothermal, through a national competitive tender
process, was granted Jailolo Geothermal Concession area in 2009. Jailolo geothermal field is located in
the west Halmahera Regency of North maluku Province. At the moment, Star Energy conducting
exploration survey to study the feasibility of the geothermal area. The Jailolo geothermal development
is one of the first geothermal development after the Indonesian government issued the Geothermal Law
No. 27 of 2003 and the Government Regulation No. 59 of 2007.
Star Energy also operates the Kakap PSC Block in the Natuna Sea, which produces oil and gas inpartnership with Premier Oil, Singapore Petroleum, and Pertamina. The gas that is produced is sold toSembawang Corporation in Singapore through the west Natuna Transportation System sub-sea
pipeline, of which Star Energy is also an owner.
In addition, Star Energy holds PSC exploration blocks in Banyumas (onshore central Java), Sebatik(on/off-shore north east Kalimantan) and Sekayu (onshore south Sumatra), three of the most promisingoil & gas blocks in Indonesia. Star Energy is currently drilling an exploration well in the Sekayu PSC,
and plans to drill Sebatik by the end of 2010. The Company also holds promising CBm interests in
Sumatra.
The Star Energy Group is one of the leading organizations in Indonesia in terms of its local community
interaction, development and support. Star also has an outstanding record in terms of environmental
management and care for the safety and health of its workers. Through its well established “Bright Star”
program and company charter, it encourages a focus on values and business excellence across its
entire organisation.
Star Energy programs have been acknowledged through the receipt a number of prestigious awards
from the Indonesian Government in 2008-09 including: Gold and Green PROPER Awards forenvironmental management and community development (Star’s Gold award is unique in any industry
sector in Indonesia); a Gold PADmA Award for Corporate Social Responsibility; and a number of
Aditama Awards for safety and sound environmental management practices. SEGwwL has also
maintain international certification of ISO 14001 for environmental management system and OHSAS
18001 for occupational health and safety management system. Throughout the years of operations,Star Energy has proven its care and commitment to not only achieve the highest value to its
shareholders but also extend excellent services to its stakeholders including the community.

Nusa Dua, one of the world’s best
tourist spots
Nusa Dua is an exclusive tourist
haven located at the southern tipof Bali island.
Only 25-minute ride from the
Ngurah Rai international airport,
the area offers natural attractionsof scenic white sandy beach with a rumbling soundof waves.
The 350-hectare area is a compound of luxurious star-rated hotels that Balinese people have been
proud upon, since this place is hailed as one of thebest tourist destinations in the world.
Tourists can walk or cycle around the ­hotel­compund comfortably on well-constructed­pedestrian and bicycle lanes.
Nusa Dua has been widely known as the centerof star-rated hotels, such as Ayodya Resort --whichused to be the Bali Hilton International, Grand
Hyatt, Nikko Hotel and Nusa Dua Beach hotel. The
area is managed by the Bali Tourism Development­Corporation (BTDC).
Many choices of international-class hotels
providing premium quality of accomodation and­hospitality service are available here.
This place is undeniably a perfect hideaway
from the hustle and bustle of urban situation.
Hotels in this area offer facilities of ­conference,
which is able to accommodate thousands of­participants.
Built in Balinese style of architecture and­ornament, the hotels reflect a combination ofl­uxurious and traditional ambience.
Most of the hotels throughout Nusa Dua aresituated along the seashore, except Swiss Grand,
Novotel Nusa, The Bale, and Sekar Nusa Resort.
Tourists can also visit merchandise shops,­restaurants and bars, by walking several minutes
from their hotels or taking free shuttle services­available in most of the hotels.
You don’t need to worry when you feel bored ofstaying at your hotel all day long, just call your hotel’s
officers to take you to the nearest shopping centersor dining spots.
An elite tourist area in Badung regency, Nusa
Dua is named after its geographical condition. It issituated in a hilly and barren peninsula in the eastern
coast of Bali’s southern tip.
Local people call it ‘Nusa Dua’ since there are twoislands there that distinct it with other areas. In local
word, ‘Nusa’ means island and ‘Dua’ means two.
One of the islands, bigger than the other, isa sanctified place. There is a sacred temple there
named Bias Tugel, where a wise Javanese Hindu
priest Pedanda Sakti Bawu Rawuh wrote the poem
Sebun Bangkung.
The temple is actually just a naturally-formed
rocks resembling a chair. Locals once tried to build
a wall around it, but the wall was swept away by thewaves. The people then constructed a temple, but
again, the strong waves ruined the building. Thus,
they believed that the temple should be kept justthe way it was.
To respect the Gods of the Bias Tugel temple,

A surferenjoys ­­thebig wavesthe priest then built two temples at the beach. The
temples were decorated with traditional umbrellasthat Hindus usually use in religious ceremonies, aswell as a sarong with black-and-white square motif.
Local people in Bualu area take good care ofthese two temples, as they pray and bring offerings
to the Gods of the temples everyday.
Developed since 1974, Nusa Dua has complete
facilities that tourists need to spend their holidays,
including golf course and water sport facilities.
Interesting spots in Nusa Dua
n Tourists visiting Nusa Dua usually enjoy shoppingand dining.
n Upon entering the gate to the area, you will
see some cafes and lines of small shops selling­merchandise.
n Water sport facilities are also available at the
nearby­ Tanjung Benoa, only around 5 to 10­minutes ride from Nusa Dua.
n The water sports offered in Tanjung Benoa are
Parasailing, Banana Boat, Jet Ski, Rolling ­Donut,
Flying Fish, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving, Glass­Bottom Boat and trip to Turtle island.
n Waves in Tanjung Benoa beach are relatively calm,
sometimes with no wave at all, thus safe for thewhole family.
PARASAILING: Enjoy roaming through the sky some
80 meters above the Tanjung Benoa beach on a­parasuit pulled by a speed boat. It takes 4 minutes fora round.
JETSKI: Riding on a motorcycle-like vehicle on
the beach, you can have an instructor to drive thejetski or ride it by yourself for 15 minutes per round.
­Instructors usually will drive you from the beach tosome meters away to the ocean, then you can takeyour turn to drive. It will be more challenging todrive through the waves.
BANANA BOAT: Take three friends of yours to ridea rubber raft pulled by a speed boat and go aroundthe beach. You will be accompanied by an instructor
during the 15-minute ride. To get more excitement,
ask the instructor to turn the raft upside down.
FLYING FISH: Wondering how it feels to fly likea kite? Try flying fish. This game combines three­banana boats and another rubber boat with ‘wings’
on its both sides. Flying fish can be played by two
persons, each stay on both sides of the rubber boat,
and one instructor stay in the middle.
You can choose to stand up on the boat or lying
on it. The boat will then pulled by a speed boat until
it flies some two meters above the water.
SNORKELING: Just put on your mask and fin, andenjoy seeing the colorful underwater scenery of­ornament fish and coral reefs.
SCUBA DIVING: A set of complete diving ­equipment
are available for rent. Each person will be assisted by
one instructor while exploring the underwater.
Before getting into the water, everyone will bebriefed about how to dive properly. Beginner can
try diving between 3 to 7 meters from the surface
for around 40 minutes. Tourists are also allowed tofeeding the fish.
GLASS BOTTOM BOAT & PULAU PENYU: No needto get wet to enjoy the underwater scenery. You canjoin the one-hour trip of sailing while ­observing thebeautiful coral reefs and ornament fish through theglass-bottom boat. The boat will then take you to
the Penyu Island to visit turtle hatchery and ­breedingsite. In the island, you can also take pictures withtame birds, bats and snakes.
Besides water sport facilities, some hotels alsooffer Camel Safari or riding camel for an hour along
the Nusa Dua coast while enjoying the beautiful
beach and the warm breeze.

If this is to work we need YOUR help.
It’s very simple. Al you need to do is:
1.Put any unwanted conference materials such as
writing pads, pens etc into your conference satchel
2.Hand the satchel into the registration desk
before you leave the congress

ORANGUTAN: WGC2010 MASCOTThe World Geothermal
Congress (WGC2010) picks
out Orangutan as its mascot.
Wearing the “udeng” (atraditional Balinese hat), theOrangutan holds a leaf in his
left hand and a globe in his
right. Since Bali has beenchosen as venue for the World
Geothermal Congress 2010,
he also has a frangipani stuck
on one of his ears to portraythe typical Balinese.
Found particularly in theislands of Sumatera and Kalimantan, Orangutan is chosen
as the mascot because thespecies is now in the brinkof extinction due to forest
destructions. Developing
the environmentally-friendly
geothermal projects will support the lives of the remaining
species.
Irresponsible and uncontrolled human activities areconstantly damaging theirhabitat and it is predicted thattoday, the Orangutan’s population only remains 100,000.

Globe

The World Geothermal Congress is taking a practical initiative to support sustainability and benefit local
schools.
How many conference satchels do you have in yourcloset back home? Quite a few probably! While they’revery useful at the time, we think it is better for them tobe used (and for the sponsors logos to continue to be
seen !) rather than siting in a cupboard and never seeing the light of day again. This is sustainability in practice which for people attending a renewable energy
congresss should be second nature.
So the Organising Committee and Pacto Convex
have arranged to distribute unwanted material to local
schools, through the services of a local branch of aninternational humanitarian organisation (http://www.
onenessheart.org/).

This is why this particularspecie was chosen as mascot
because of its relevance togeothermal energy projects
that do not bring negative
impacts to the environment.
The exploration ofgeothermal wells does notcreate damages to plantations
or forests since there is no
exploration waste and fallentrees can be re-planted.
The Orangutan species
need to be preserved asmuch as there is a need toincrease geothermal energy
for daily usage.
.

The globe in the hand of the Orangutan portrays the world
whereby geothermal energy is found along “the ring of fire”
surrounding the continents. The green color symbolizes
renewable energy and conservation of the eco system, twofeatures that are important to human lives worldwide.

That’s all there is to it! Many thanks inadvance
