Abstract
Nusa Tenggara with two provinces which have electrification ratio of the West Nusa Tenggara
and East Nusa Tenggara regions are 84.11% and 60.82%. Construction of a natural gas power plant will be
carried out by the government in Nusa Tenggara region, supplied in a form of LNG. This research proposes
a solution to maximize conventional gas resource, promoting the domestic use of clean energy and
providing Sumba Island with clean water supply, with an ultimate goal of ensuring everyone has access to
enough clean water and energy in Indonesia. From electricity demand, SSLNG supply chain analysis,
determining clean water demand, and giving recommendation for Nusa Tenggara and Sumba.
The LNG regasification technology uses an Ambient Air Vaporizer (AAV) integrated with a sea
water - freeze desalination technology. The product is 16.5% brine and 83.5% ice water slurry of
approximately 2 kg ice/kg LNG which then be separated and used as clean water. The challenge is to create
distribution scheme for Nusa Tenggara and suitable model of this technology in Sumba island. Simulations
of the project is done using UniSim Design R390.1 and Superpro V.90 process simulator.
The model is believed to be an answer for simultaneous increase of electrification, alternative
clean energy transition and sustainable clean water technology in Sumba Island and rural areas, while
improving life quality and well-being of the people. As a project proposal for Minister of Energy and
Minister of Rural Development, this research is expected to achieve the multiple goals of Sustainable
Development Goals of UN SDG No. 5: Gender Equality, No. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation and No. 7:
Affordable and Clean Energy.
Keywords: Sumba Island, Liquified Natural Gas Distribution, Clean Water Access, LNG Cold Energy
