What if your country was sitting on one of the largest renewable energy reserves in the world, but could not figure out how to use it? This is the situation Indonesia finds itself in today. With over 3.600 GW of solar capacity, 60 GW of wind potential, and 24 GW of geothermal reserves, Indonesia’s clean energy resources are extraordinary.

Indonesia is currently accelerating its industrial downstreaming program to increase the added value of natural resources. This program aligns with one of the government's missions to process all of the country's raw materials into products with utility value. However, the acceleration of industrialization brings the consequence of a massive increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.
