Indonesia is the world’s fourth-most populous country and is set to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by mid-century. The choices that Indonesia makes now and in the decades to come will have a significant bearing on the world’s energy markets and on international efforts to reach collective climate goals.
Indonesia has committed to reach net-zero emissions by 2060 or before – an ambitious task given the country’s growth objectives and status as a globally important consumer and producer of coal. However, with a transition to net-zero offering extensive and varied economic opportunities, Indonesia is beginning to put in place the policies and frameworks that can help reach this target while moving towards advanced economy status.
To assist in this critical task, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has developed a comprehensive roadmap to net zero by 2060 for the country, which charts a path for the country’s energy transition over the coming decades. The analysis spans key areas, such as people‑centred transitions, the phasing down of coal use, investment and financing needs and critical minerals. It also sets out a high-ambition pathway in which Indonesia reaches net zero by 2050.
