Indonesia's energy needs each year increase in line with economic growth and population. Indonesia still needs to work on achieving its development targets in the energy sector to date. Dependence on fossil energy, especially petroleum, is still high to meet domestic energy consumption. Non-renewable energy reserves such as oil, natural gas, and coal are very worrying because they run low. The urgency in this study is very important because there are rarely studies that compare the Knowledge and Perceptions about the Prospects of Utilizing Biofuel-Based Alternative Energy Sources. This study aims to analyze the effect of knowledge and perceptions about the Prospects of Utilizing Biofuel-Based Alternative Energy Sources. This research method is a mixed method, with the sampling technique in this study being multistage random sampling. The number of respondents as a sample is 100 respondents. The data collection instruments used were in the form of questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis in this study is divided into descriptive statistical testing (mean, median, min, and max) and inferential (simple regression). The regression test results show an influence of Knowledge and Perception about the Prospects of Utilizing Biofuel-Based Alternative Energy Sources.
Indonesia is one of the countries that depend on fossil-based fuels as a good source of energy. Until now, the portion of fossil energy use has reached more than 80% in the national primary energy mix. From these data, it is clear that dependence on fossil energy in Indonesia is still high. This study aims to describe the knowledge and perceptions of the people of Jambi City about the prospect of using alternative energy sources based on biofuels. And to find out whether there is an influence between knowledge and people's perceptions of Jambi City about the prospect of using biofuel-based alternative energy sources. This study uses the type of mix method. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires and interviews. The results obtained are that the community perception value in Jelutung sub-district regarding biofuel-based alternative energy is higher than the community in Pasar Jambi sub-district. People in Pasar Jambi Sub-district have knowledge about alternative energy based on biofuel which is superior to people in Jelutung sub-district
