Kontan | Nuclear power investment could thwart climate change targets

Various low-carbon technology options can be an option in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions including renewable energy, Carbon Capture and Storage/ Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage. However, the government needs to consider it carefully because each technology has a different character and level of risk. However, in terms of development in the world, nuclear power plants have been stagnant in the last ten years. If the funds focus on the nuclear power plant, the funds for CCS or addressing carbon from the coal power plant will be reduced and will not reduce the carbon emissions emitted by the coal power plant itself.

Antara | Emil Salim: We need a generation that masters environmentally friendly technology

Environmental expert, Prof. Dr. Emil Salim, said that currently we need a young generation who masters environmentally sound science and technology, so that they can reduce the rate of greenhouse gas (GHG) effects from carbon dioxide emissions. This effort to suppress global warming as a result of climate change is for the benefit of the younger generation. If from now on we do not try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to reduce the effects of GHGs, then future generations will suffer the consequences.

Kompas | Indonesia still has a lot of homework to do in the energy transition

Some notes in the energy transition are preparing an integrated national energy plan, mitigating the impact of the energy transition on the fossil fuel industry, using low-carbon technology in the transportation industry, and considering the principle of equity during the transition period. According to Fabby, Executive Director of IESR, in this decade it is important for developing countries such as Indonesia to be able to achieve the decarbonization target of up to 45 percent. This can be achieved based on the IESR Deep Decarbonization study of Indonesia’s energy system.
