Indonesia is home to some of the Earth's most biodiverse and carbon-rich forests, and 50 to 70 million Indigenous people who rely on these intact ecosystems for their survival. Yet burning wood in biomass power or "co-fired" in coal power plants could bring Indonesia’s forests to an "irreversible point" by 2040. Carbon reduction policies that divert public dollars from solar and wind into biomass energy threaten forests and biodiversity across Southeast Asia.| forourclimate.org
Mounting evidence of carbon emissions and deforestation has driven ministries to end renewable subsidies for new biomass power and state-owned co-firing facilities starting January 2025, with phased reductions for existing plants. | forourclimate.org
