Just Energy Transitions and Coal Bed Methane: The case of Indonesia

This book explores how Coal Bed Methane (CBM) can help Indonesia accelerate its energy transition, considering its potential CBM reserves and reliance on coal. CBM could be a catalyst for energy transition and improve access to energy in developing countries, but faces numerous challenges. The book exposes the challenges and opportunities of CBM in Indonesia and offers lessons for other countries to improve the industry and achieve energy transition and climate change targets.

This comprehensive book delves into the potential of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) as a key driver of the energy transition in Indonesia, leveraging the country's substantial CBM reserves and its current reliance on climate-damaging coal. Developing nations encounter numerous hurdles in their pursuit of energy transition, making CBM in Indonesia a promising catalyst for change. By harnessing the power of CBM, Indonesia can enhance its energy accessibility and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.

However, the road to successful CBM implementation in Indonesia is not without its challenges. Despite having developed its domestic CBM sector over a decade ago, the country has yet to fully realize its potential. This book aims to shed light on these challenges and opportunities, drawing valuable lessons from Indonesia's experiences to improve the industry and achieve energy transition and climate change targets.

The book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners engaged in this field, providing a comprehensive analysis of CBM's potential and the challenges it faces. It offers insights into the policies, regulations, and technological advancements that can facilitate CBM development and adoption, and highlights the importance of collaboration and stakeholder engagement in achieving sustainable energy outcomes.

With its in-depth exploration of CBM's role in the energy transition, this book provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing discourse on sustainable energy solutions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of exploring alternative energy sources and implementing innovative technologies to address the pressing challenges of climate change and energy insecurity. By leveraging the lessons learned from Indonesia's CBM journey, other countries can embark on their own energy transition journeys and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.
