Energy Snapshot: 

Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian member of OPEC, although the country became a slight net oil importer in 2004.  Indonesia’s oil production has declined in recent years.  Indonesia’s largest oil producing fields are mature and declining in output.  Natural gas production has increased in recent years in Indonesia, although the country is facing a declining global LNG market share.  Media reports suggest that Indonesia was surpassed by Qatar in 2006 as the single largest exporter of LNG.  Indonesia’s coal production has increased in recent years, and today the country is one of the world’s chief coal exporters.  Indonesia’s power sector faces shortages on electricity due to underinvestment in new generating capacity.

Climate Concerns
CO2 Emissions: 

280.36 MMT CO2 (2006)

Other Facts: 

Indonesia's major environmental challenges involve supporting its large population. Air and water pollution have reached critical levels, especially on the most populated island of Java. Indonesia's per capita carbon dioxide emissions remain relatively low, but the large size of the country (it has the fourth largest population in the world) makes it a considerable emitter of carbon dioxide in the region. Indonesia recently completed its phase-out of leaded gasoline, with a complete ban having come into force in 2005.

National Environmental Milestones and Strategies:
National Master Plan for Energy Conservation (RIKEN), 2005
Law on Energy, 2007

Strengthening National Policies:
National Master Plan for Energy Conservation
The National Master Plan for Energy Conservation, or RIKEN, was first passed in 1995 and updated in 2005 and is Indoneisa's National Energy Efficiency Plan.  It establishes the need for further implementation of specific energy conservation programs and energy audits and reports, and sets the goal of reducing the national energy intensity by 1% each year.

Law on Energy
The 2007 Law on Energy, which was approved by the legislative and executive branches of Indonesian government, gives the government the power to manage all of the country's energy use.  This is meant to improve the energy security of the country, make sure that all sectors use energy efficiently, and promote the use of sustainable energy.

Based on the current status of building energy codes and policies, as well as potential for energy efficiency, BCAP recommends the following actions.  Also noted are states or countries that successfully employ the suggested action, and may be used as a model.  These suggestions are meant only to show opportunities for energy efficiency.  Please contact BCAP for more information or assistance.

Establish a Complete, Mandatory Code
Indonesia already has strong national policies on energy efficiency.  The next step is to establish complete, mandatory codes that will set strict guidelines for efficiency in buildings.  Updating the commercial code and establishing residential codes will lead to greater compliance and efficiency in buildings, and is the easiest way to achive the goals set out in the Energy Efficiency Plan.  The codes can be rolled into the National Building Code (which currently outlines siesmic design standards but discusses lighting and ventilation) or created as seperate entities.

Model Country:
The Philippines
The National Building Code of the Philippines currently has a mandatory design code with voluntary measures on energy efficiency.  This can serve as a good example for integrating energy efficiency standards into the national code for Indonesia to follow.  The ultimate goal should be for these standards to become mandatory, but their establishment and integration to begin with is a step in the right direction.
