jfid – Indonesia, committed to achieving Net Zero Emission by 2060, has strategically partnered with Finland in the green energy technology sector.
This collaboration aims to accelerate Indonesia’s transition towards more advanced sustainable energy solutions.
In a partnership involving governments, private sectors, and educational institutions from both countries, Finland brings its extensive expertise in developing renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, and hydrogen.
A focal point of this collaboration is the biomass-to-energy conversion project in Merauke, Papua, expected to reduce diesel consumption by up to 27.5 million liters over the next five years.
“We believe Finnish technology will help enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in Indonesia,” stated a senior official from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, who preferred not to be named.
Beyond renewable energy development, Finland also offers advanced energy efficiency technologies that can be optimized in Indonesia’s industrial and household sectors. This is expected to accelerate global climate mitigation efforts, which are increasingly urgent.
Furthermore, the development of flexible gas-based power plants will serve to balance the variability of renewable energy, ensuring electricity supply stability while minimizing carbon emissions.
Supergrid development is also planned to enhance connectivity among regions in Indonesia, including Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, and Bali, to support more efficient renewable energy integration.
“We hope this collaboration will not only enhance Indonesia’s energy independence but also support the achievement of Net Zero Emission targets,” said a representative from the National Electricity Grid Regulatory Agency (BPJLN).
Moreover, educational cooperation between Indonesia and Finland is expected to strengthen technical capacity and knowledge in the green energy sector, a crucial step in supporting Indonesia’s future sustainability transformation.
Supported by several bilateral agreements and active participation from the private sectors of both countries, this collaboration aims to leverage Finland’s technological advantages through technology transfer and knowledge exchange to accelerate the transition towards sustainable clean energy in Indonesia.
In a global context demanding concrete steps to address climate change, this collaboration is expected to benefit not only locally but also strengthen Indonesia’s position as a leader in sustainable development.
