See Original TEKS KOMPAS/TOTOK WIJAYANTOField officers are monitoring the carbon dioxide (CO2) injection process in JTB-161 Well in the Jatibarang field This CO2 injection is an application resulting from a joint study between PT Pertamina (Persero) and Japan Oil The application of this method is expected to increase oil production and reduce greenhouse gas emissions In an effort to contribute to the mitigation of the global warming threat Indonesia targets to reduce national carbon emissions by around 32 percent through its own efforts in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 2030 the target for carbon emission reduction in 2030 can reach around 43 percent there are five sectors targeted for carbon emission reduction energy is estimated to be the largest contributor to carbon emissions in 2030 the energy sector is estimated to produce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,669 million tons of CO2 followed by the forestry sector 714 million tons of CO2 and industrial processes almost 70 million tons of CO2 With the largest projection figures, energy is one of the crucial sectors to immediately reduce carbon emissions. Therefore, the energy transition from fossil fuels to new and renewable energy (EBT) is an inevitability that Indonesia will continue to do to achieve net zero emission (NZE) 2060 In addition to the transition to more environmentally friendly energy use, another effort to reduce GHG emissions is by using technology that can capture carbon emissions and process them further This technology is known as carbon capture storage (CCS) CCS is one of the technologies that functions to absorb carbon emissions produced by a system This technology allows several energy sectors to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and support efforts to mitigate climate change Also read: Low Carbon Economy Through CCS, What Are Indonesia's Opportunities? Based on data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry the carbon emission source from the energy sector in 2023 will mostly come from three main categories These consist of electrification production These three categories contribute to 91 percent of the carbon emission source in the energy group is the main cause of carbon emissions in the energy sector more than 80 percent of Indonesia's final energy consumption comes from fossil energy the majority of fossil energy consumption is used by industrial activities to reduce the negative impact of pollution the industrial sector needs to implement CCS technology to reduce carbon emissions In a report from the Parliamentary Analysis Center of the Indonesian House of Representatives written by Anih Sri Suryani in January 2024 it is noted that CCS technology has existed since the early 1970s A certain amount of CO2 is captured from gas processing facilities in Texas and then directed to nearby oil fields and injected to enhance oil yields CCS or some also call it CCUS (carbon capture utilization and storage) is identified as one of the global warming mitigation technologies that aims to reduce the release of CO2 into the atmosphere. Simply put, through CCS/CCUS technology CO2 from fossil fuels or from waste from their combustion can be recaptured and then stored underground or under the sea According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) CCS is a series of processes for capturing CO2 from carbon-emitting units The compressed CO2 is distributed through pipes Also read: Oil and Gas Companies Can Monetize Carbon Credits There are several CO2 applications for commercial and industrial purposes carbon dioxide can be used for various things and protecting food materials during the production process it can play a role in the production of fertilizer optimizing production results in oil pump wells and serving as a propellant in aerosol cans unused CO2 compression can be injected into deep geological formations carbon emissions can be reduced while also optimizing inactive oil or gas wells Based on the presentation by Eddy Soeparno Vice Chairman of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives during the 48th Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) Forum Indonesia has a huge potential for storage of up to 700 giga tons (GT) of CO2 This storage capacity is enormous compared to the industrial sector's emissions in Indonesia which only amounts to around 600 million tons per year (Mtpa) The estimated carbon emissions come from the contribution of the oil refining industry With the estimated carbon emissions from the industrial sector the potential for CCS storage is abundant in Indonesia This can be utilized to meet the domestic CO2 storage needs as well as CO2 from foreign countries The opportunity can provide several benefits for Indonesia one of which is strengthening Indonesia's geopolitical position in the Asian region by participating in creating decarbonization in the region Several countries around Indonesia need CCS storage facilities in the country due to limited storage in their own countries including the ASEAN region which has a total carbon emission of approximately 1.7 gigatons per year (Gtpa) in 2022 Japan and South Korea also need carbon storage facilities up to 0.7 Gtpa and 0.5 Gtpa respectively until 2050 also target capturing carbon emissions up to 2 Mtpa by 2030 This provides an opportunity for Indonesia to enhance diplomatic relations and regional geopolitical power in climate change mitigation it can produce new economic benefits by opening up market opportunities for carbon storage worth billions of US dollars It can even have a double impact on the national economy with a relatively large economic value A study by the Global CCS Institute shows that capturing 1 million tons of CO2 creates an economic value of around IDR 4 trillion and generates 800 new jobs to complete CCS construction and operations projects also has a positive impact in the form of significant energy cost savings It is estimated that by adopting CCS technology energy cost savings in the country up to 2050 will reach around 1 trillion US dollars The energy cost efficiency comes from savings in the transportation sector of up to 271.6 billion US dollars industrialization of 543.8 billion US dollars and the building sector of 176.2 billion US dollars The significant benefits of developing CCS technology have prompted several countries to increase their carbon capture capacity there will be at least 564 CCS project facilities spread out across the globe The largest one is located in the United States with 233 projects and a carbon capture capacity of 179.24 Mtpa These projects include those that are still in the development Also read: Carbon Capture and Injection Business is Getting More Attention The next largest development of CCS is followed by the United Kingdom with a total of 66 projects and a total capture capacity of 57.23 Mtpa Canada ranks third with a total of 58 projects and a capture capacity of 27.67 Mtpa The next ranking is occupied by Norway with a total of 22 projects with a carbon capture capacity of up to 4.73 Mtpa China is the top-ranking Asian country in the top five countries in the world with 21 CCS projects and a capture capacity of 16.6 Mtpa it is currently developing 16 CCS projects with a GHG emission capture capacity of 8.4 Mtpa Anih Sri Suryani stated that Indonesia has a geological formation that allows for permanent storage of carbon emissions through the use of CCS technology Anih also quoted the statement of the Deputy for Coordination of Maritime Sovereignty and Energy of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment Jodi Mahardi who said that Indonesia stands at the forefront of the green industrial era with a potential CO2 storage capacity of 400 to 600 gigatons in depleted reservoirs and saline aquifers This potential allows for national CO2 emissions to be stored for 322 to 482 years Indonesia has a great opportunity to develop CCS technology that is beneficial for regional decarbonization and becomes a new breakthrough in national economic development and more; all are images that may come to mind when you think of Indonesia Indonesia’s booming development and increased consumption have generated an immense amount of waste particularly single-use plastics that are leaking into the ocean In her conversation with Indonesian journalist Basten Gokkon, the lead article in the InsightOut publication “the plastics we dump now may not impact us today While Indonesia’s plastic challenges are momentous, there are big efforts to tackle it. A new China Environment Forum InsightOut issue shines a light on these efforts and American authors who share policy innovations financing and community engagement emerging in Indonesia The publication aims to offer valuable insights for China and other Asian nations struggling with the plastic waste challenge and this is a major source of leakage cities must address regional cooperation among municipalities could expand the web of waste management services to collect rural plastic waste in Indonesia Photo Credit: Bank Sampah’s workers loading a truck courtesy of Irham Ramdhani & Pambajeng Putro and even more in some other ASEAN countries After years as the world’s largest plastic waste importer China passed its National Sword Policy in 2018 and began banning all plastic waste imports and Australian plastic waste exports to Southeast Asia While most of Indonesia’s plastic waste is generated domestically these foreign plastic imports have added stress to the country’s already overburdened waste management system The action plan will require companies to manage their plastic packaging from cradle to grave with the goal of lessening the burden on cities to manage waste and motivating companies to make packaging with less or no plastic Photo Credit: Waste workers cleaning the plastics over a river and creating a “second life” for post-consumer plastic materials The U.S.-based Ocean Conservancy set up an Urban Ocean initiative to improve municipal waste management systems through science-based processes and partnership building in Vietnam and Indonesia is using satellites and citizen scientists in Indonesia to help track and map plastic leakage hotspots and measure the amount of plastic in the ocean Better data can help guide policy and measure the impacts of plastic mitigation policies Eli Patton is a researcher at Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum His research focuses on the environmental and security aspects of China’s FDI Eli will graduate from the George Washington University with an MA in Asian Studies this spring Ruyi Li is a researcher at the Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum Her recent focuses are waste management in Asia and the low-carbon transition in China and the US She graduated from Johns Hopkins University (SAIS) with an MA in Energy Lead image credit: Cows in a plastic landfill Developed by Vico Rock Media An extraordinary new restaurant in Semarang Indonesia is on a mission to support locals trapped in poverty many of whome are earning less than $25 (USD) a month by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi is located in an unexpected place for an eatery – Jatibarang Landfill in Semarang The landfill is a mountain of putrifying waste where poor locals spend their days scavenging plastic and glass to sell who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant is that no cash is required to pay for meals Poor scavengers have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of hard currency and then deducts that value from the cost of the meal The scheme is part of the community’s solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non-degradable plastics “I think we recycle 1 tonne of plastic waste a day, which is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn’t pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding,” said Sarimin in an interview with Channel News Asia The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.40 and $0.80 (USD) each Some of the dishes on offer are mangut rice with catfish Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 (USD) a day compared to when they relied solely on scavenging came up with the idea for the restaurant in 2014 when Semarang’s mayor Hendrar Prihadi tasked him with reducing the amount of plastic waste in the landfill 40% of the 800 tonnes of waste that is added to the site daily is plastic The price of plastic was meager at the time why don’t we get the scavengers to pay for their meal with plastic waste.” after a fire in 2014 destroyed nearly 10 acres of land Junaedi realized that the methane gas in the landfill could be utilized as a valuable commodity It is now available to use free of charge for residents around Jatibarang as well as in the aptly named Methane Gas Canteen people would start recycling them and reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill daily.” “I’m happy to see our customers enjoying their meals,” Sarimin told NHK World “The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating I want to give them that chance as much as possible.”
