Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is the most commonly used fuel for cooking in Indonesian households.

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in 2021, approximately 82% of households used LPG for cooking.

Meanwhile, the use of other types of household fuel is very low, such as firewood (11%), kerosene (2%), electric stoves (0.7%), gas/biogas networks (0.5%), and briquettes/charcoal (0.08%).

Although LPG is the main fuel for Indonesian households, a significant portion of its supply comes from abroad.

According to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), throughout 2022, Indonesia imported approximately 6.7 million tons of LPG.

This amount is equivalent to 82% of the total volume of LPG consumed by the public in 2022, and it represents the largest import in the last decade.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), Syarief Hasan, believes that LPG imports and subsidies burden the state budget (APBN). He urged the government to address this issue by optimizing the utilization of domestic gas.

"The government must have a definite and measurable plan to mitigate the soaring burden of LPG imports and subsidies. With the abundance of proven gas reserves, domestic gas needs should be met," said Syarief, as reported by Detik.com (May 22, 2023).

"The stalled development of natural gas infrastructure should be a self-critique; there is something wrong with national energy planning. We shouldn't always take shortcuts by importing and neglecting national energy independence," he continued.
