Assessment of CO2 Reduction Potentials through Clean Coal Technologies in Power Plants in Indonesia
Abstract:
The domination of fossil fuels in both the whole national energy mix and electricity
sectors in Indonesia is attributed to the economic consideration to utilize low cost energy
sources which are considered as the 'dirty' energy sources, although in terms of energy
security, this condition seems to be the inevitable policy option in Indonesian energy sector.
Emissions from coal combustion in Indonesia, one of the signatories of the Kyoto Protocol,
will have negative implications for its economy and the global climate agreement, which
requires CO2 emission reduction target. Hence, there are needs for the use of clean coal
technologies in coal-fired power plant to reduce CO2 emissions.
The alternative clean coal technologies options is assessed by using CO2 emissions
estimation, levelized cost of electricity generation, and cost of CO2 avoided. Employing
supercritical PC, PFBC, IGCC, and CFB technologies for new coal-fired power plants in
Indonesia are highly relevant for current government policy and electricity sector planning
targeting the utilization of low rank coal resources for electricity generation and reduction of
CO2 emission from coal-fired power plants.
