The Center of Excellence ( CoE ) was launched at the Bali Clean Energy Forum (BCEF) February. The CoE was established to facilitate with the integration of research and development, investment and deployment of clean energy and related technologies. CoE initiatives are planned to be developed all over Indonesia. Beyond energy demand, Indonesia needs to address domestic and global challenges on renewable energy and climate change. The CoE links global targets to domestic priorities. The focus is on well defined and broadly endorsed national priorities. The CoE wants to strengthen national capacity and create enabling environments. However, one important aspect is missing in the CoE mission stated at the BCEF, and that is about building the energy-agriculture nexus.
