This report by Trend Asia examines the role of large conglomerates, state-owned enterprises, and politically connected corporations in Indonesia's energy transition, specifically focusing on the development of energy plantation forests (HTE) for biomass co-firing in coal-fired power plants (PLTU). The document argues that the transition is being dominated by powerful actors with a history of deforestation and land conflict, potentially leading to a 'carbon debt' and further environmental degradation.

• The development of energy plantation forests (HTE) for biomass co-firing in coal-fired power plants (PLTU) is dominated by large conglomerates and corporations with strong political ties, many of whom already control the forestry sector.
• There is a significant gap between the current allocation of energy plantation forests and the land required to meet the biomass needs of PLTUs implementing co-firing. While 188,772 hectares have been allocated by 32 companies, Trend Asia estimates a need for 2.3 million hectares (if planting lamtoro gung) or 3.9 million hectares (if planting acacia).
• The report identifies several conglomerates involved in HTE, including Korindo Group (via PT Korintiga Hutani), Medco Group (via PT Selaras Inti Semesta), Sinarmas Group (via PT Muara Sungai Landak and PT Daya Tani Kalbar), and Sampoerna Group (via PT Sadhana Arifnusa and PT Hutan Ketapang Industri).
• The implementation of biomass co-firing in PLTUs has been observed to rely on wood sawdust from small-scale industries rather than the wood pellets specified in PLN's general plan, leading to a lack of transparency regarding the legality and origin of the wood.
• The expansion of HTE poses a high risk of deforestation and the creation of a 'carbon debt.' Trend Asia estimates that opening land for HTE could cause a carbon debt of 26.48 million tons of carbon emissions.
• State-owned enterprises are also active in the biomass sector; Perhutani is the second largest in terms of planting realization, and its subsidiaries (Inhutani I, II, and III) have been merged into a subholding to focus on wood products and biomass.
