Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto said that Indonesia is ready to view committed to reducing 29% of greenhouse gas emissions from business as usual and 1% from business as usual from international assistance by 2030. This agreement has been ratified by Law No. 16/2016 on the ratification of the Paris Agreement.
"The contribution of the energy sector is needed to reduce greenhouse emissions and the development of sustainable development, energy conservation will be significant in reducing greenhouse gases and access to clean energy," said Airlangga in the CNBC Indonesia New Energy Conference with the theme "Dissecting the Urgency of the Renewable Energy Bill", Monday ( 26/4/2021).
In more detail, he explained that the use of clean energy in the minimum primary energy mix, especially EBT, is targeted at 23%, while gas power is 22%, and energy conservation is 11% in 2026.
"Indonesia has many energy sources (in the form of) water, solar, bio-energy, wind, ocean currents, geothermal but their utilization is not yet optimal," he explained.
Until 2020, said Airlangga, EBT-based electricity will reach 10.5 Giga watts with a capacity of 6.1 GW of hydro power and the rest is wind. In terms of the primary energy mix, the realization is 11.2%, although it is still far from 23%, it has increased by 2.05% from 2019.
ready viewed "Currently EBT is not only an environmental problem but also an economic problem, the cost of EBT technology is getting cheaper and making it more competitive and the increasing global market requires that its electricity source comes from a product, and fossil energy sources are less promising than EBT and will have an impact on exports. industry, "he explained.
Meanwhile, for B30, Indonesia is the largest country with 137 thousand barrels per day, compared to the United States with 112 thousand barrels per day, Brazil with 99 thousand barrels per day and Germany with 62 thousand barrels per day.
"Sources and access to global finance are increasingly difficult for fossils because it prioritizes EBT. The struggle to use EBT for a sustainable economy at the central and regional levels requires cooperation and support from stakeholders, synergy will accelerate the transition from new and renewable energy," said Airlangga.
