JAKARTA: Environmentalists are warning that Indonesia's ambitious plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 rely too heavily on biofuels and risk a new wave of deforestation in the world's third-largest rainforest.
Heavily dependent on coal, Indonesia needs to transition away from fossil fuels and seeks to generate 75 gigawatts of electricity from renewable resources over the next 15 years, compared with 13 gigawatts today, said presidential envoy Hashim Djojohadikusumo at the U.N. summit on climate change last month.
