Indonesia will implement a carbon tax starting April 1, 2022.

Initially, the tax will be levied on coal-fired power plants (PLTU), with a rate of Rp30,000 or approximately US$2.09 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).

According to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the funds collected from the carbon tax will be used to supplement development funds, mitigate climate change, invest in environmentally friendly initiatives, and provide social assistance programs for low-income communities.
