MARKET INFORMATION
“The global financial crisis has shown that the current model of development was not in line with global needs and needed redesigning to promote sustainable livelihood. Achieving progress in that regard required changing the pattern of production and consumption so that it was based on the sustainable development principle; establishing more ambitious targets to combat biodiversity loss; reorienting development to accommodate the green economy paradigm; adopting a unified concept of global environmental management; and finalising negotiations on climate change in Mexico later in 2010.”
H.E. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of the Republic of Indonesia, Opening remarks at the 11th Special Session of the UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum, 24 February 2010, Bali Indonesia.
Renewable Energy Remains Significantly Under Utilized
Renewable Energy Aims: The Indonesian government backed an initiative to implement the use of more renewable energy by 2025 by introducing tax oriented incentives to invite more global investment.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry in Indonesia also announced that "we will optimize energy which has not been used so far, such as geothermal and nuclear energy, as well as coal up to ten folds, so that we could cut the emission by 16 percent."
At a seminar by the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB), Chief Economic Minister said, "the government had to build power generators to increase the capacity of its electricity and to boost its economic growth to seven percent before 2014 so that it would be able to increase the competitive edge of its industrial products in the world market."
Increased Aims for the Future: The Director General of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources Luluk Sumiarso has said that the government will be revising their original new and renewable energy quota from the previous 17 percent to 25 percent by 2025. He goes on to say 40 percent of the world’s geothermal potential is located in Indonesia. He maintains, however, that it is severely underused.
“Indonesia’s geothermal potential is about 28,543 megawatts, but only 1,189 megawatts is currently being utilized.”
The government plans to develop geothermal power plants in 2010-2016 with a total capacity of 3967 MW in support of the provision and utilization of new and renewable energy. The ministry has announced it will build 43 geothermal-fired power plants by 2014. |

Water & Waste Management: Indonesia Aims
for 2015 Targets
Water Management:
Demand for clean water is constantly increasing in Indonesia due to a population growth of 1% per annum as well as economic activity in urban and rural areas.
Highlighting the deep commitment of the government, between June 2010 and March 2011, with already $22m spent for clean water management programmes in 35 regions, foreign grants totalling Rp231.05bn ($27m) have also been allocated to 40 local administrations for clean water and waste management programmes. The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, is planning to invest up to US$400 million annually in a five-year program in Indonesia.
From 2009 – 2013, the IFC would also facilitate $13 billion in investments, including $6.13 billion in infrastructure.
The Ministry of Public Works has also proposed for up to 2014 additional funds for water development, from 11.8 trillion rupiah (US$ 1.35 billion) to 23 trillion rupiah to enable the ministry’s goal to catch up from the current 47% to the target of 67 percent service level for drinking water by in 2015, stipulated in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Waste Management:
Waste disposal is a critical area of concern. Jakarta’s 10 million people produce 6,000 tons of waste a day, yet the city can only deal with half of it adequately. The problem is also felt in less developed parts of the country.
A World Bank survey last year estimated that poor sanitation and waste management costs the Indonesian economy US$6.2 billion a year, or 2.3% of the country’s GDP. Only 57% of Indonesian households have safe and easy access to toilet facilities.
The new paradigm of waste management is implemented through waste reduction and waste handling. Waste reduction includes limitation activities, reusability, recycling, while waste handling includes segregation, collection, transportation, processing, and final processing.
The National Sanitation Conference scheduled to be held every two years, is expected to raise the number of local governments committed to waste water management to 226 prioritised cities/districts in the next five years. |
