KELOMPOK 5 | EKONOMI INTERNASIONAL KELAS A EP 23

Summary

Indonesia is transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy to address the climate crisis and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. The country faces challenges such as high greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector, especially from coal power plants and fossil fuel-based transportation. While Indonesia has immense potential in renewable energy, including solar, wind, and geothermal, the lack of infrastructure, investment, and supportive policies has hindered its full utilization. Overcoming these barriers requires collaborative efforts to support a green energy future and ensure sustainability for future generations.

Takeaways

• 😀 Indonesia is pushing for a transition from fossil energy to renewable energy to address the climate crisis and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060.
• 😀 Global commitments, green economic policies, and the potential for clean energy are key to solving environmental issues and promoting sustainable development.
• 😀 A major issue is the high greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector, particularly from coal-powered electricity plants and fuel-based transportation.
• 😀 The energy sector contributes about 50% of Indonesia's total national emissions.
• 😀 Indonesia's renewable energy infrastructure is still minimal and underutilized despite having vast potential.
• 😀 Indonesia's renewable energy potential is substantial, with technical capacity reaching hundreds of gigawatts from solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal, and PHES (Pumped Hydro Energy Storage).
• 😀 However, the utilization of renewable energy remains low due to infrastructure limitations, investment challenges, and policies that do not fully support the green energy transition.
• 😀 Energy transition challenges include inconsistent policies, limited infrastructure, high investment costs, and social-economic impacts such as unemployment and energy access inequality.
• 😀 Successful energy transition requires collaboration from all parties involved, including the government, industry, and communities.
• 😀 The transition from fossil energy to renewable energy is a strategic step toward achieving Indonesia's net-zero emissions target by 2060.
• 😀 The hope is that through this presentation, people will recognize the importance of supporting a greener, climate-friendly future for Indonesia, not only for today but for future generations.

Q & A

What is the main goal of Indonesia's energy transition?

The main goal is to transition from fossil energy to renewable energy in order to tackle the climate crisis and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060.

What are the key drivers in addressing environmental issues and promoting sustainable development in Indonesia?

The key drivers are global commitment, green economic policies, and the potential of clean energy sources.

What is the major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Indonesia?

The major source is the energy sector, particularly from coal-fired power plants and fossil-fuel-based transportation.

What percentage of Indonesia's national emissions is contributed by the energy sector?

The energy sector contributes around 50% of Indonesia's total greenhouse gas emissions.

Why is the utilization of renewable energy infrastructure in Indonesia still limited?

The limited use of renewable energy is due to the scarcity of infrastructure, investment challenges, and policies that are not fully supportive of the transition to green energy.

What is Indonesia's renewable energy potential?

Indonesia has a vast renewable energy potential with a total technical capacity of hundreds of gigawatts, including solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, geothermal energy, and pumped hydroenergy storage (PHES).

What is pumped hydroenergy storage (PHES)?

PHES is a technology that stores energy through the use of pumped hydro, which involves moving water between two reservoirs at different elevations to store energy.

What are the main challenges in Indonesia's energy transition?

The challenges include inconsistent policies, limited infrastructure, high investment costs, and socio-economic impacts such as unemployment and energy access inequality.

Why is collaboration among all parties essential for the success of the energy transition in Indonesia?

Collaboration is necessary to overcome challenges like infrastructure limitations, investment barriers, and policy gaps, ensuring a smooth and effective transition to renewable energy.

What is the final message regarding Indonesia's energy transition and environmental responsibility?

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a strategic step toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2060, and it is important for everyone to actively contribute to creating a greener and more climate-friendly Indonesia for future generations.
