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.

The transition toward clean and sustainable energy has become an urgent necessity for Indonesia. Although the government has set fairly ambitious national targets, data shows that progress remains suboptimal. This report, titled “Assessing Regional Readiness for the Energy Transition: Findings from Four Provinces,” examines the causes of this gap and shows that the main challenges lie not only in technology or financing, but in governance, institutional capacity, and the readiness of local governments.

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.
