Specifically for solar energy potential, the calculation of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources was denied by IESR and the Global Environmental Institute through their research. The two organizations said solar power in Indonesia could reach 3,000 and even 20 thousand gigawatts, not the 207 gigawatts the government had stated. Read more BBC

The Indonesian government has been sending mixed signals to the automotive industry as it looks to both electric vehicles (EV) and biofuels for greener road transportation. Experts queried by the Jakarta Post recommend that Indonesia focus on EVs, as this technology would dominate in the long run, but they added that biofuel may play a…

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia — The Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) through its latest report entitled Deep Decarbonization of Indonesia's Energy System: A Pathway to Zero Emissions by 2050 states that Indonesia is technically and economically capable of achieving zero emissions in the electricity sector in 2045, much faster than the electricity sector. transportation and…

Research Coordinator of the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) Pamela Simamora said that in order to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050, the capacity of NRE in Indonesia must increase 14 times from the current condition which is only around 10 GW or around 140 GW. Read more Katadata

Research Coordinator of the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) Pamela Simamora argues that the application of carbon capture technology in steam power plants is not the best option to reduce carbon emissions in the electricity sector. The reason is, until now the technology investment costs are still not economical. Read more Bisnis

Previously, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) study in June 2021 also mentioned that the land expansion triggered by the biodiesel program might lead to environmental and social consequences. The risk will be smaller if there is a policy to reduce CPO exports for domestic purposes. However, the number of exports keeps increasing, but…

Executive Director of the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) Fabby Tumiwa said the practice of buying and selling carbon credits in Indonesia had long been started even without a legal regulation. There are several schemes, one of which is bilateral cooperation with Japan through the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) scheme.

The Executive Director of the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) Fabby Tumiwa assessed that the development of charging infrastructure for electric motorized vehicles must be encouraged to accelerate the use of electric vehicles in Indonesia. Read more Bisnis Read more Bisnis

An Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) study last month also highlighted the potential for land expansion with a biodiesel program that would have environmental and social impacts. Read more Mongabay

Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) Executive Director Fabby Tumiwa said that the cost of this investment depends on many factors. Such as the selection of technology to be used, namely high voltage alternating current (HVAC) or direct current (HVDC) transmission lines. Then the distance to be connected, the amount of power transmitted, to environmental…

Closing down 50 GW of coal-fired power plants still isn’t sufficient to guarantee Indonesia’s smooth sailing toward its net-zero emissions target. “The target [of closing 50 GW coal-fired power plants] is not ambitious enough. From IESR’s recent study, this plan can be pushed through before 2030 and it is not needed to wait until 2055,”…
