Indonesia’s journey toward renewable energy via bioenergy is multifaceted, marked by promising innovations and significant challenges. While co-firing offers an interim pathway to reduce emissions, large-scale biomass reliance—especially from wood—poses environmental, social, and economic risks.
Achieving Indonesia’s climate goals will require a careful, balanced approach—prioritizing natural forests, promoting sustainable agriculture, involving local communities, and implementing strict sourcing standards. Only through such comprehensive efforts can Indonesia turn its renewable energy ambitions into a truly sustainable and inclusive reality, ensuring a healthier future for its people and the planet.
