However, as a developing country still highly dependent on natural resources and fossil fuels, it has long been clear that it will not decarbonise without significant international support. That is why many are hopeful about Indonesia\u2019s Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">announced in November 2022 alongside the G20 Summit<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Bali, Indonesia, as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COP27<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was playing out in Egypt.

Land use change and deforestation have, since 1990, made up more than 50% \u2013 and in years with widespread forest fires, up to 80% \u2013 of Indonesia\u2019s GHG emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is changing, however. Alongside <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">some progress<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on slowing down deforestation, Indonesia has seen its consumption of fossil fuels rise. According to the US-based non-profit Global Energy Monitor, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">coal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accounted for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">195 million tonnes (mt)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Indonesia\u2019s CO2 emissions in 2022 \u2013 the seventh-highest for any country\u2019s coal fleet in the world, just below the figure for Germany \u2013 while total energy sector emissions grew to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">650mt<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2019. This has been driven by a massive expansion of coal-fired power generation capacity over the past 15 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Climate Action Tracker, another non-profit, ranks Indonesia\u2019s climate commitments as \u201chighly insufficient\u201d on a 1.5\u00b0C pathway <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and says<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the \u201cinternational community has a critical role in helping Indonesia to implement a coal phase out\u201d.

Another is being led by the Asia Development Bank and the three others are domestic. This includes one led by the national electricity company PLN, one led by the government\u2019s Indonesia Investment Authority and another led by the state-owned infrastructure company PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur, or Persero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All three domestic schemes will also target coal retirement, with 23.2GW of capacity identified so far. PLN\u2019s ETM also has the goal of increasing Indonesia\u2019s renewable energy capacity to 16GW by 2030 \u2013 but how all these schemes will work together remains to be seen. They are all looking to attract both public and private finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere is a lot of money coming into Indonesia, or already allocated from the state budget, for the energy transition,\u201d says Martin Baker, director of strategy and communications at the Jakarta-based non-profit <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traction Energy Asia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Beyond coal-fired power plants<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its first nationally determined commitment (NDC), or national climate plan, was submitted to the UN in the run-up to COP21 in 2015, Indonesia, like other developing countries, has always provided two figures for its emissions reductions targets \u2013 one without international support and one with international support. In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">its latest NDC<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, submitted in September 2022, the unconditional target was a 32% reduction below a business-as-usual baseline by 2030, going up to 43% with international support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the focus is on getting this support from other governments, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the private sector is also expected to play a key role<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. According to US-based non-profit RMI, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">half of the JETP&#8217;s budget<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or $10bn, will be mobilised from private financial institutions that are part of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GFANZ<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). There are many questions about how those funds will be used and whether they will come in the form of loans or grants. GFANZ declined an interview request from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy Monitor<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as did the Indonesia Coal Mining Association.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fitch Rating Singapore, a credit ratings company, said in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an analysis<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the JETP and other ETMs could push Indonesian coal producers \u201cto consider investments to diversify away from thermal coal, which could have an impact on ratings\u201d. Elrika Hamdi, an energy finance analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, a think tank, says the industry should be ready for this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCoal players\u2026 have experienced\u2026 how difficult it is to get <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">funding for new coal-fired power plants<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or mines,\u201d she told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy Monitor<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cInstitutional investors and lenders already have in place strict <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">divestment policies for coal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamdi sees some positive signs that Indonesian coal companies are indeed diversifying. \u201cThe top ten coal companies [in Indonesia] have started to invest in greener technologies like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and electric vehicle-supporting facilities like batteries and charging stations,\u201d she says. One example is Adaro Energy, the second-largest coal miner by production volume, which <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">launched a \u201cGreen Initiative\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to invest in biomass, hydrogen and solar power in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Loopholes: from coal plants&#8230; to coal plants<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some are concerned that Indonesia\u2019s JETP, like South Africa&#8217;s, focuses only on grid-connected coal-fired power plants, ignoring not only other GHG sources but even the use of coal outside of electricity production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indonesia is a major coal exporter, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ranking number one or two<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in most years for thermal coal exports, primarily for use in coal-fired power plants in other parts of Asia.

One is coal gasification, which can provide an alternative to natural gas or petroleum in industrial, chemical or transport applications. As <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported by<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy Monitor<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2021, the Indonesian government\u2019s coal gasification plans could, if fully realised, consume nearly as much coal as the country\u2019s entire coal-fired power fleet \u2013 and negate its commitment to phase out the use of coal in power generation by 2040.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another potential loophole is the use of coal in what are called &#8216;captive&#8217; plants. These coal-fired power plants are not connected to the grid but are used to power factories or industrial parks. Global Energy Monitor estimates there is 5GW of operating captive coal power in Indonesia, with another 4GW under construction.
