Gunung Salak Geothermal Energy

To date, Indonesia has over 150 active volcanoes, giving the nation enormous potential for geothermal energy production. In fact, 40% of the world’s geothermal reserves are located in Indonesia, but only about 6% have been developed.

It aims to promote sustainable development and develop regional educational programs, carrying out activities such as donating books to local schools. The project is able to concretely improve job opportunities, while also improving some of the local transportation infrastructure that is essential for travel
