Net-zero emission (NZE) is a state where the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced is balanced by the amount of emissions absorbed or removed from the atmosphere.

According to a report by Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN), Indonesia plans to achieve NZE by 2060, partly through energy transition in the electricity sector.

"In the roadmap towards net-zero emission, PLN plans to gradually reduce CO2 emissions by reducing the proportion of fossil fuels used in electricity generation," as quoted from the PLN 2022 Sustainability Report.

According to PLN's report, in 2020, 50% of Indonesia's total power generation capacity still used coal. Gas-based power accounted for 30%, oil for 6%, and renewable energy for 14%.

However, PLN projects that the proportion of coal, gas, and oil capacity will decrease in the coming decades, replaced by renewable and new energy sources, as shown in the graph.

"In 2060, PLN plans for 69% of electricity production to come from renewable energy sources, 15% from gas, 8% from coal and gas power plants equipped with carbon capture storage (CCS) facilities, while the remaining 7% will come from new energy sources," PLN stated in its report.

Note that "new energy" in PLN's report refers to coal bed methane, coal slurry, coal gasification, and nuclear energy.

"Renewable energy" includes geothermal, wind, solar, hydro, and bioenergy.

PLN also stated that short-term and long-term strategies are needed to realize the NZE scenario by 2060.

"For the short-term phase, the achievement timeframe is planned until 2030, while the long-term phase will take place after 2030," PLN said in its report.

"The long-term phase itself requires more in-depth technical and financial studies because it requires substantial investment and advanced technology," it continued.
