ViriyaENB’s Post

We are thrilled to host our first Partners Meeting from August 19-21, 2024, in Bandung, West Java. This landmark event brought together 27 partner organisations for a series of dynamic discussions and collaborative sessions. The focus of our meetings was on how we can connect, collaborate, and drive meaningful change within the broader ecosystem working toward net zero emissions in Indonesia. Our commitment is to align strategies for shared goals, strengthen our collaborative network, and deepen our impact to ensure both accountability and sustainable growth. A big thank you to all our partners for their invaluable contributions and dedication! #ViriyaENB #NetZeroIndonesia #Sustainability #Collaboration #Impact #Partnerships

The Bali Matangi Initiative: Fostering Climate Solutions through Women and Youth Entrepreneurship Women and youth play crucial roles in climate leadership, especially at the sub-national level, for achieving net zero goals. ViriyaENB partners with New Energy Nexus Indonesia to advocate for an entrepreneurial approach among women and youth in reaching net-zero emissions in Bali by 2045. Commemorating Indonesia’s Kartini Day of women’s empowerment on 21 April and Earth Day on 22 April, New Energy Nexus is launching two activations focused on women and youth empowerment: the Women-Focused Discussion on 28 April and the Climate Innovation Business Online event on 29 April 2024. Through the Bali Matangi initiative, New Energy Nexus has hosted bootcamps and focused discussions to empower women and youths in Bali to emerge as local startup leaders. These leaders offer business-based solutions to address climate and environmental problems, while at the same time creating green jobs and improving the local economy. “The Bali Matangi Initiative shines a spotlight on women entrepreneurs and young people driving economic growth and empowerment. Despite challenges in access and acceptance, their innovative efforts demonstrate resilience, making this initiative a promising step rallying the island’s community in pursuit of Bali’s ambitious climate goals,” underlined Program Manager Rainy Putri. As an integral part of the Bali Net Zero Emissions Coalition, the Bali Matangi initiative aims to nurture 15 startups led by local women and youths. ViriyaENB remains committed to supporting net-zero initiatives that promote and empower key groups within the society, fostering solutions deeply rooted in local contexts. #BaliNZE2045 #KoalisiBaliENB #Bali #NetZeroEmissions #NetZero #NetZeroIndonesia #ViriyaENB #SubnationalClimateLeadership #EarthDay #HariKartini

Paving the way for Bali’s net zero future through 100% renewable energy on Nusa Penida Island Bali has pledged its commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045. Central to this target is efforts to decarbonise the power sector across the province, including Nusa Penida, a group of small islands occupying a total area of approximately 203 km2 off South Bali. Home to a population of 62,082 people and breathtaking natural landscape, Nusa Penida is currently served by a total of 17.06 MW of locally generated power supply, with 24 percent contributed by solar power plants with battery storage. Our partner Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), in collaboration with the Center of Excellence Community Based Renewable Energy (CORE) at the University of Udayana, presented their findings to the provincial government, demonstrating the feasibility of fully powering Nusa Penida with renewable sources by 2030.    The findings highlight the island’s potential energy reserves amounting to 3,219 MW from renewable sources including solar, wind, biodiesel, biomass and tidal. The study also outlines strategies to integrate these renewable sources into the system over the next six years, including through power conversion system, energy management system and energy storage system. The work aims to provide technocratic and science-based inputs toward Bali's NZE 2045 ambition. ViriyaENB is proud to support the coalition of civil society partners working hand-in-hand  with the Government and people of Bali who have shown strong climate leadership. We strongly believe that subnational action is key to addressing climate challenges and meeting net-zero goals. Emerging from the devastating impacts of the global pandemic, Bali has stepped up to take climate actions, serving as an inspiration to other regions across Indonesia and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gUgSfvDQ #BaliNZE2045 #KoalisiBaliENB #Bali #NusaPenida #NetZeroEmissions #NetZero #NetZeroIndonesia #ViriyaENB #SubnationalClimateLeadership

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.
