The Sustainability of Energy Management System Implementation in Pilot Company's Industry of Indonesia

Abstract

The economic growth encourages the increasing of production activity in the industrial sector. As the second largest energy user in total national energy use, the industry needs to improve its energy performance through the implementation of Energy Management System (EnMS) so that it can also reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emission which has a negative impact for the environment. Socialization and support to the industry for EnMS implementation, is carried out by the government of Indonesia in cooperation with international institutions as a step for implementing energy conservation programs in accordance with the government regulations no. 70 of 2009. The research results show that 24 industries from 28 pilot company industries, or around 86%, still implement EnMS. There are 10 industries that have obtained ISO 50001 certification so that they monitor their EnMS implementation and energy performance improvement through ISO 50001 surveillance audits which is carried out by the certification body. Industry that still implement EnMS but has not received ISO 50001 certification will monitor their EnMS implementation and energy performance improvement through internal audit activities, which is carried out by the company itself.
