Indonesia has the support for the commitment to reduce the level of carbonization (decarbonization) by applying the sustainability of energy policy in various sectors.
Support was delivered in a workshop forum participants Ministry of Environment and Forestry joint United Nations-Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN-SDSN).
"From the results of this workshop UN-SDSN agreed to work together resulted in several programs that can help Indonesia achieve decarbonization targets," said IB Putra Prathama, Advisory Senior Minister of Environment and Forestry in the closing workshop in Jakarta, yesterday.
The forum agreed decarbonization in transport, energy, tourism, urban and small islands.
Putra said, the opportunity to push through the decarbonization of energy sector is quite high, because Indonesia has environmentally friendly energy sources such enormous geothermal and biofuels.
"We are the largest in the world," said Putra.
It is estimated, the total geothermal in Indonesia reached 28,617 Megawatts (MW) and until now only used 1,341 MW. Indonesia is still less than the Philippines which has leveraged 1,904 MW of geothermal.
According to the Putra, Indonesia opportunities increase the use of geothermal wide open, after the government passed Law 21 of 2014 on the Management of Geothermal.
As for biofuels, further Putra, Indonesia has 11 species of plants that can be processed into biomass to produce biofuels such as ethanol and methanol.
"Most of the species were not associated with food crops," he said.
As is known, Indonesia has expressed its commitment to reduce carbonization to 26 percent in 2020.
To achieve that goal, according to the UN-SDSN council leader, Mari Pangestu, the energy sector can play a large enough for the use of environmentally friendly energy sources and management of energy in the transport sector, industry, buildings, until the household.
"Although not the largest contributor to the carbonization or CO2 emissions, the energy sector could contribute," she said.
Electricity Standard
Let's add Indonesia is also likely to reduce CO2 emissions through urban restructuring and energy resources in small islands. To date, Indonesia does not have standardized the use of electricity in offices or buildings as other countries.
Meanwhile, in large cities, 30 percent of electricity consumption for offices and buildings.
To that end, he invites emphasis electricity consumption by implementing standards for buildings through a certification system.
"For those who can reach certain standards will be given incentives, while that can not reach the minimum standards imposed sanctions," said the former Minister of Tourism and the Creative economy.
For remote islands and islets, the government is expected to encourage the establishment of power plants with renewable energy sources or environmentally friendly in accordance with the conditions of each region.
"We will do the mapping potential and UN-SDSN has received commitments from Scotland as a country that has a vast experience in this field ready to help Indonesia," she said.
