The Indonesian government initiated a kerosene-to-liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) conversion program in 2009. Over the past 10 years, this program has significantly reduced kerosene consumption.
In 2011, data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) showed household kerosene consumption at 1.7 million kiloliters (kl). This consumption decreased by 73.6% to 448,180 kl in 2021.
Furthermore, the percentage of kerosene use also declined from 11.79% in 2011 to only 1.85% in 2021. This percentage represents the total household energy consumption by source.
Conversely, LPG usage nearly doubled. LPG consumption was recorded at 4.14 million tons in 2011 and increased to 8.2 million tons in 2021.
The kerosene-to-LPG conversion was undertaken because LPG is more efficient. The calculation is that one liter of kerosene is equivalent to 0.57 kg of LPG.
