Reviewing the Feasibility of Carbon Capture Technology

The government's plan to develop carbon capture and storage technology (CCS/CCUS) is getting brighter after the issuance of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 2/2023 on the Implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage in Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities. Currently, there are 15 pilot projects in PT Pertamina's working area, eight of which will start operations in 2026 to 2030. Furthermore, the government is also drafting a regulation that will allow other countries to store their emissions using Indonesia's CCS/CCUS at a certain tariff.

Coal to Gas: Energy Transition Solution or Economic Burden?

Coal to Gas: Energy Transition Solution or Economic Burden?

The 2025–2034 Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) still relies on fossil energy, with natural gas accounting for 10.3 GW. Although often seen as cleaner than coal, gas continues to produce high emissions due to methane leakage and the LNG distribution process. These emissions are estimated to reach 11 million tons of CO₂ per year, threatening Indonesia’s Net Zero Emission 2060 target. On the fiscal side, gas purchases and infrastructure development could burden the state budget by up to IDR 155 trillion annually. This analysis highlights the climate and economic risks of long-term dependence on gas.

Does Indonesian Banking Still Support Coal?

Does Indonesian Banking Still Support Coal?

Amid the growing urgency of the climate crisis, Indonesia’s banking sector continues to be a major financial backer of the coal industry, disbursing up to US\$7.2 billion in loans from 2021 to 2024. A report by the #BersihkanBankmu Coalition reveals that five national banks contributed US\$5.6 billion, with Bank Mandiri as the largest financier. This trend highlights the government’s weak commitment to energy transition, as it plans to expand coal power capacity—contradicting President Prabowo’s recent pledge to achieve 100% renewable energy within the next decade.

Understanding Energy Transition from Urban Grassroots View

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a strategic challenge for Indonesia. Although the government has expressed its commitment to decarbonization, public understanding and participation remain limited, especially among lower-middle-income urban communities.

This report explores the knowledge, attitudes, and information needs of three key audience groups: urban housewives, informal sector workers, and young people with basic education.
