Still a long way to go - Energy security and green growth in Indonesia

The document argues that Indonesia's current energy trajectory is unsustainable due to rapidly growing demand and increasing greenhouse gas emissions, while structural political challenges impede the adoption of green growth solutions.

• Indonesia's energy demand is projected to grow rapidly by 2030, with total primary energy demand expected to more than triple, electricity demand to quadruple, and transport fuel demand to increase more than threefold.
• The current energy growth trajectory is unsustainable, resulting in a higher reliance on energy imports, degraded urban air quality and mobility, loss of biodiversity and forests, and a sharp increase in energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
• Structural challenges in governance and politics prevent Indonesia from successfully implementing green growth solutions, as the country continues to rely on 'business as usual' fossil fuel-based responses to energy security.
