- Indonesia faces challenges from unsustainable energy development including high dependency on fossil fuels and exploitation of natural resources. This has contributed significantly to air pollution.
- Transitioning to cleaner energy sources is complex, as demonstrated by past attempts with varying degrees of success using different fuels in different time periods and sectors. Large-scale transition is unpredictable.
- The research aims to develop an emissions inventory, identify transition enablers and barriers through interviews, and determine health and environmental impacts of scenarios through energy modeling to inform Indonesia's optimal long-term energy path.
