Attracting Students to Renewable Energy: Direct-Use Geothermal Potential in Garut Regency as a Contextual Resource for Science Education
Keywords:
renewable energy, geothermal , local potential, GarutAbstract
The direct use of geothermal energy in Garut Regency remains underutilized, despite the area's considerable potential based on surface manifestations such as hot springs, fumaroles, and warm ground across several locations. This study aims to examine the potential and development direction of direct-use geothermal energy in Garut through a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Garut Regency Office of Industry and Trade (Disperindag) and literature studies from various scientific and technical sources. The findings show that the geothermal fluid temperature in most locations is around 40°C, which is not suitable for electricity generation but highly potential for direct-use applications such as hot spring tourism and agricultural drying. The main barriers to development include limited technical data, lack of local incentives, and unsynchronized regulations and supporting infrastructure. This study contributes to offering development strategies based on local potential and encourages collaboration among stakeholders. These findings are also relevant as a reference for contextual science education focused on renewable energy and environmental sustainability.
