“By this coming May, we expect to have a final product for the transportation decarbonization roadmap,” Yudhoyono said while opening the Town Hall Meeting on Transportation Decarbonization Acceleration in Jakarta on Monday.
The roadmap will outline the government’s medium- and long-term strategic measures to reduce carbon emissions across the transportation sector.
Yudhoyono highlighted several priority efforts, including accelerating the drafting and enactment of regulations for the development of the Trans-Sumatra, Trans-Kalimantan, and Trans-Sulawesi railway networks.
The Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development is also preparing a presidential regulation on the implementation of sustainable aviation fuel.
In addition, the minister emphasized the use of carbon offset mechanisms within transportation subsectors to support the achievement of national decarbonization targets.
“Hopefully, what we finalize by May can become valuable material to present at COP31 in Turkey in November 2026,” he said.
He expressed optimism that the roadmap would encourage stronger collaboration among ministries, government agencies, and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in advancing transportation decarbonization.
As part of the initiative, the ministry has committed to four pilot projects. One focuses on land transportation decarbonization, including Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, electric vehicles (EVs), and the use of biofuels.
Another pilot project involves the development of the Trans-Sumatra, Trans-Kalimantan, and Trans-Sulawesi railway networks.
In the aviation subsector, the roadmap covers the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), while in maritime transportation it includes the implementation of green port initiatives.
“The Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development is working to manage and oversee the establishment of this roadmap for the medium and long term,” Yudhoyono said.
