Abstract :
The province of West Kalimantan, which
borders on land with Malaysia, has untapped energy
potential. There is a need for maximum exploration and
utilization to secure these energy sources from the threat
of seizing energy sources with neighboring countries. In
addition to oil sources, renewable energy also has the
potential to be utilized as an energy source in the border
area of West Kalimantan, one of which is the use of
Thorium as an energy source to support energy security
in the region. Energy security for residents in border
areas is one of the main things in pursuing ideal
conditions for national energy security. One of the
obstacles generally felt by border communities is the lack
of access to energy. In West Kalimantan, electricity is still
imported to support electricity there, with the potential of
Thorium, it is hoped that it will be the right opportunity
to support energy security, one of which is the use of
electricity in the border areas of West Kalimantan. This
research was conducted in a qualitative descriptive
manner, by conducting interviews and responses from
research sources. This research is expected to be a future
solution for the government in optimizing the potential of
Thorium for energy needs such as in the West
Kalimantan.
