Reducing fossil fuel dependence and exploring just energy transition pathways in Indonesia using OSeMOSYS
Study aims to explore the ideal energy mix and key emission reduction pathway in Indonesia.
Abstract
Indonesia’s commitment to the Paris Agreement and its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) is not adequately reflected in the significant CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel-intensive energy sectors, despite the enormous potential of renewable energy sources in the country. The ongoing coal regime has led to electricity oversupply and air pollution problems. Despite the huge challenges for Indonesia, a just energy transition away from fossil fuel is crucial. This study aims to explore the ideal energy mix and key emission reduction pathway in Indonesia in achieving a just energy transition using the least-cost optimisation energy modelling tool OSeMOSYS (Open-Source Energy Modelling System).
This study is part of the Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) programme.
