This article examines how the use of biogas as a cooking fuel can contribute to a low-carbon transition pathway for Indonesia.
The authors conducted transdisciplinary research using mixed methods and stakeholder engagement to advance knowledge on the role biogas can play in helping Indonesia to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
The research identified economic benefits of biogas, but also found that intermittent production due to unstable feedstock availability could lead to an increase in the use of liquefied petroleum gas. Other barriers identified include financing limitations and technologies that are ill-adapted to local conditions.
Project / Transition pathways and risk analysis for climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies (TRANSrisk) is creating a new assessment framework.
SEI brief / SEI research examines the issues that must be addressed for wider use of biogas for Indonesia to help reduce emissions and meet Paris Agreement commitments.
Other publication / This book provides case studies that illustrate the benefits, risks and complexities involved with moving towards lower-carbon energy sources.
Other publication / This policy brief summarises the research findings and policy recommendations from the international TRANSrisk project on transitions to lower-carbon fuels.
