Energy-related sectors accounted for 44% of Indonesia’s GHG emissions in 2020 (Climate Watch). Projections suggest emissions across the energy system in the country will continue to significantly rise without increased efforts.
Indonesia’s push to decarbonise energy-related sectors over the next five years is vital, as the country is among the world’s top emission contributors, ranked 7th globally and 1st in ASEAN, with 700 million tonnes of carbon emission generated in 2022 (Global Carbon Project, 2022)
Industry, transport and buildings sectors combined contribute to approximately 60% of Indonesia’s energy-related emissions. However, despite the urgency, significance, and large potential benefits from decarbonisation, climate commitments and philanthropic support in these areas have traditionally not been as strong as that for the power sector.
ViriyaENB is dedicated to advancing climate action across the energy system, contributing to delivering progress to achieving net zero goals. With cross-cutting approaches at the intersection of climate and development, we support energy decarbonization through policy transformation, sub-national leadership, enhanced action by key groups in the corporate sector and civil society, and the integration of economic and financial considerations to ensure an equitable transition.
