Abstract
<em>One of the causes of the energy crisis is that the number of people is positively correlated with increased consumption of energy, especially fuel and electricity. The need for energy sources, especially for household purposes such as cooking, can be fulfilled by using LPG gas and firewood, as is well known, the LPG and firewood have been used by households in Indonesia since a long time. The variables that affect the use of LPG and firewood by households are "per capita GRDP", poor population, total area, number of islands, forests, and waters. By using multiple linear regression analysis, the prediction of the effect of these variables on the use of LPG and firewood can be obtained. Accuracy results obtained are 64% for both types of fuel. Meanwhile, the completeness of the data and the addition of other variables can improve the results of prediction accuracy.</em>
Highlights
Energy has important roles for human life, one of them is the source of social, economic and environmental achievement in order to carry out sustainable development and encouraging economic activities
In Indonesia, modern fuels used in households, for example, gas and kerosene have been categorized as fuels from petroleum products, and firewood was considered as the traditional fuels [1]
Aside of LPG, firewood as the material obtained directly from nature is one of biomass type that can be used as a cooking fuel and can be electrical energy source through engineering with simple technology
Summary
Energy has important roles for human life, one of them is the source of social, economic and environmental achievement in order to carry out sustainable development and encouraging economic activities. Heat is usually used for household heating, while it is used in industry as an important component in the production process, for example for drying (in a dryer). The energy that can be used as household fuel is divided into two; "Modern" fuels and traditional fuels. In Indonesia, modern fuels used in households, for example, gas and kerosene have been categorized as fuels from petroleum products, and firewood was considered as the traditional fuels [1]. The total population of Indonesia has reached 205 million in 2000 and has increased to more than 254 million in 2013. GDP per capita, (current price) increased from 6.78 million
