IDENTIFICATION OF THE IMPACT OF OIL REFINERY INCREASE ON GREEN ECONOMIC GROWTH IN INDONESIA

Abstract

The increasing population in Indonesia is also followed by an increase in national energy consumption. The energy needs of the population are not met due to the insufficient energy production capacity, requiring the government to import energy. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the problems when the government addresses the increasing energy consumption of the Indonesian population by increasing oil refineries and to describe the impacts that occur in increasing oil refineries that affect the environment which is not in accordance with the concept desired by Indonesia, namely implementing green economic growth. This research method is descriptive qualitative analysis by collecting literature from several sources. Based on the results of this study, there are several main points that can be concluded that when the energy consumption of the Indonesian population is met by the government which will increase oil refineries in Indonesia, it has several benefits, namely increasing state revenue, increasing national energy independence, and increasing the welfare of the Indonesian population. However, increasing oil refineries also has a negative impact on environmental pollution so that it will affect increasing global warming and climate change. Increasing oil refineries must also pay attention to environmental aspects so that green economic growth can run smoothly in Indonesia.
