According to the E-NDC, Indonesia aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31.89 percent through domestic efforts and 43.20 percent with international support by 2030.
According to the ministry’s secretary general, Dadan Kusdiana, the realization of GHG emissions reduction in the energy sector for 2024 reached 147.61 million tons of CO2 equivalent or surpassed the target set at 142 million tons.
"Hence, we are on the right track in the emission reduction program,” he remarked at the Kick-Off Meeting of the Indonesia Energy Transition Facility in Jakarta, Wednesday.
He remarked that the government is establishing strategic cooperation with various parties to expedite Indonesia's shift towards a greener, more environmentally friendly, and sustainable system, aligning with global commitments to reducing emissions and promoting renewable energy.
Regarding Carbon Capture Storage (CCS), Indonesia has introduced regulations, policies, schemes, and mechanisms to harness its CO2 storage potential.
Indonesia has a storage capacity potential of around 500 gigatons. Currently, two companies have expressed interest in developing CCS projects in the country.
"Many parties are assessing that there are lifting increase programs, there are net zero emission programs, there are EBT programs—all of which are in line with the context of how we increase energy self-sufficiency while still ensuring that sustainability considerations are a priority in its development," Dadan noted.
