Indonesia

When: 2019–2021

Purpose: Support Indonesia’s review of national energy policy & renewable energy targets.

What happened: Following a request from the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, UN DESA & partners scoped a national CLEWs assessment and then conducted scenario analysis for renewable energy targets, NDC alignment, and sustainable development strategies.

Key insights:

• Biodiesel results show how higher blending ambition shifts fuel demand from diesel to FAME. B40 raises FAME demand from 386.5 to 515.3 in 2025 and from 479.7 to 639.6 in 2030, while B50 reaches 799.5 in 2030.
• The co-firing scenario material tests coal-biomass substitution, including biomass shares rising from 1% in 2020, to 3% in 2021, and 5% in 2023.
• The CLEWs structure gives Indonesia a way to test whether biofuel, co-firing, land-use, and renewable-power goals can be pursued together without moving pressure from one system to another.

Resources: Project documents, workshop minutes, co-firing scenario material, and B40/B50 model result tables.

Models: OSeMOSYS

Stakeholders: Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources, Directorate General of Renewable Energy & Energy Conservation, sector ministries and agencies, UN DESA, UNDP, KTH.
