Gagalnya Eksplorasi Panas Bumi Di Baturaden Dalam PerspektifKriminologi Hijau

Abstract

Geothermal is a renewable energy source that will contribute to the energy mix in Indonesia. Geothermal exploration
is often carried out in forest areas in Indonesia. Many problems arise. The failure of geothermal exploration in
Baturaden which has been carried out since 2017 has left two unproductive wells. Land clearing, deforestation and
groundwater pollution are part of the damage caused. A Green Criminology approach is needed to uncover various
potential crimes that arise and how to overcome them. Qualitative analysis is used to help reveal in detail the
potential crimes that occur. A comprehensive policy is needed to overcome environmental crimes related to
geothermal exploration in Indonesia. The existence of Law concerning Environmental Protection and Management
Number 32 of 2009, Law Number 21 of 2014 concerning Geothermal Energy and Law Number 18 of 2013
concerning Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction need to be harmonized so that environmental law
enforcement policies become more effective and efficient
