Summary
This guide by Trend Asia encourages public action and advocacy to address the climate crisis in Indonesia. It criticizes the government's continued reliance on coal, the use of biomass co-firing as 'greenwashing', and the environmental damage caused by nickel mining for the energy transition. The document advocates for community-based renewable energy and provides practical steps for individuals to reduce their carbon footprint and engage in collective political pressure.
Key insights
- Indonesia is among the top ten global producers of greenhouse gases due to a heavy dependence on coal and the degradation of forests and peatlands.
- The government is pursuing a coal production target of 710 million tons this year and continues to build new coal-fired power plants (PLTU) instead of retiring existing ones, which the document claims will hinder efforts to stop the climate crisis.
- The government's use of wood biomass co-firing in 52 PLTUs is described as 'greenwashing' because it requires forest areas 35 times the size of DKI Jakarta, potentially converting over 1 million hectares of natural forest into monoculture wood plantations.
- Nickel mining for electric vehicle batteries is causing severe environmental destruction and social conflict, specifically citing the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) and islands in eastern Indonesia like Halmahera.
- Community-led renewable energy initiatives, such as micro-hydro power plants (PLTMH) in Kasepuhan Ciptagelar (Sukabumi) and Batusanggan (Riau), are often ignored by the government in favor of large-scale projects like large hydroelectric dams (PLTA).
