Just energy transitions and coal bed methane: the case of Indonesia. (2021)
Book
SUMARNO, T.B. 2021. Just energy transitions and coal bed methane: the case of Indonesia. Cham: Palgrave Macmillan [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-85490-4

This book discusses how Coal Bed Methane (CBM) could help the acceleration of the energy transition in a ‘just’ way in Indonesia, due to the country's potential CBM reserves (and current dependence on climate damaging coal). Developing countries face... Read More about Just energy transitions and coal bed methane: the case of Indonesia..

How Indonesia can achieve both a COVID-19 recovery and its climate targets. (2021)
Report
SUMARNO, T.B. and SANCHEZ, L. 2021. How Indonesia can achieve both a COVID-19 recovery and its climate targets. Achieving a fossil-free recovery in Indonesia, Brief 1. Winnipeg: International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) [online]. Available from: https://www.iisd.org/publications/indonesia-achieve-covid-19-recovery-and-climate-targets

In May 2021, the International Energy Agency (IEA) (2021) released its flagship report on how to reach net-zero by 2050, concluding that fossil fuel consumption should have peaked by 2020 and start declining as of 2030. It also shows that meeting the... Read More about How Indonesia can achieve both a COVID-19 recovery and its climate targets..
