Research Activities
Long-term Monitoring on CO2 Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
Goal of research program is intended to make a significant contribution toenergy systems for low carbon society. The 2008 World Energy Outlook
predicts that world demand for oil will increase. Alternative energy sources
cannot deliver large-scale energy supplies at present, which means that fossil
fuels will continue to satisfy over 80% of demand in the decades to come.
Meanwhile, burning fossil fuels is one of the major contributors to the rise ofCO2 in the atmosphere.
The collaborative research on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) among ITB, Pertamina and Kyoto University
to conduct long-term monitoring process on EOR using CO2 injection. Pertamina, as state oil and gas company
in Indonesia, has a plan to conduct CO2 injection in their oil field that can be used as pilot project for the CCS
research program.

Land subsidence and sea water intrusion in Jakarta, estimated from time lapse
microgravity
Jakarta’s government is not yet able to provide clean water for all people
since Jakarta population is continually increasing. Hence to fill short
supply of clean water, people usually drill a well to extract groundwater.
However excessive
extracting groundwater can causes severalproblems, such as land subsidence, lowering groundwater level andseawater intrusion. This makes environmental impacts and affects tohuman activities as well. The impact needs to be addressed at the earlystage so that other environmental hazards can be avoided or reduced. In
this research, accurate and repeated time-lapse microgravity
measurements are necessary to clarify changes in subsurface conditions.

Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) was founded on March 2,
1959 by the Indonesian government as an institution ofhigher learning of science, technology, and visual arts, witha mission of education, research, and service to thecommunity. ITB was named as Technische Hoogeschoolte Bandung after its establishment on 1920 during Dutch
Government Era.
Government Decree No. 155/2000 pertaining to thedecision on ITB as legal entity has opened a new path for
ITB to become autonomous. The status of autonomy
implies a freedom for the institution to manage its own
business in an effective and efficient way, and to be fully

ITB is located in Bandung city, with a population of
approximately one and a half million, lying in themountainous area of West Java, at an altitude of 770
meters. ITB main campus, to the north of the town centre,
covers a total area of 770,000 square meters.

Symposium and Educational Activities
The symposium and workshop of the Global COE
program “Global Center for Education and Research on
Human Security Engineering for Asian Megacities” washeld in Nusa Dua Bali on October 7th and 8th, 2009. The
first day was used for symposium. Purposes are todisseminate recent research and also to establish a new
discipline and collaboration of energy security inIndonesia. The second day was for a one-day workshop.
The workshop was conducted to disseminate forIndonesian’s students about human security engineering
for Asian megacities.
