Abstract

Indonesia’s abundant renewable energy resources present a strategic opportunity to develop green hydrogen as a cornerstone of its energy transition. However, progress has been hindered by high costs, infrastructure limitations, and the absence of a clear implementation roadmap. This article presents a conceptual system dynamics model that is designed to capture the structural complexity and interdependencies involved in realising green hydrogen development in Indonesia. Using a systems thinking approach, the model incorporates actor analysis, a system diagram, and causal loop diagrams to identify key feedback loops – both reinforcing and balancing – that influence infrastructure growth, policy effectiveness, and technological adoption. The model also maps stakeholder dynamics in government agencies, among industry actors, and in research institutions. By revealing leverage points and system bottlenecks, this conceptual framework provides a strategic lens to support roadmap development, policy design, and future scenario analysis for Indonesia’s green hydrogen economy.
