Juniko Nur Pratama (Juniko) is a program manager for industrial decarbonization. With her academic background and extensive research experience, Juniko is passionate about accelerating the decarbonization of Indonesia’s industrial sector. At IESR, Juniko will play a role in designing, implementing, and monitoring carbon emission reduction strategies across industries, as well as collaborating with the government, private sector, and other stakeholders to create a more sustainable industrial environment.

Prior to joining IESR, Juniko completed her doctoral studies in Renewable Energy Engineering from Korea National University of Science and Technology (UST). Her research focused on the development and durability testing of fuel cells, especially in the use of composite membranes for polymer fuel cells (PEMFC). During her studies, she was involved in various national and local research projects focusing on the utilization of alternative fuel technologies, including electrochemical studies and polymer characterization.

Juniko has also founded a waste management startup called Lapak Sampah Indonesia, which successfully built a partnership with the Depok city government in providing waste-free environmental solutions. Her experience in establishing this social enterprise gave her a deep insight into the importance of a sustainable and solution-oriented approach to environmental issues, especially waste both organic and non-organic.

Outside of work, in addition to keeping up with the latest developments in renewable energy technology in the Indonesian industry, he also enjoys exploring nature with his family and discussing themes related to low-carbon technology and a clean and waste-free environment, which he believes can be an effective way to appreciate the importance of environmental conservation. These activities also reinforce his commitment to preserving nature and encouraging a low-emission lifestyle by continuing to strive for positive change in the industry’s transition to a greener and more sustainable future.
