[Jakarta, November 5, 2024] – Maxpower Indonesia recently had the opportunity to attend the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory Training organized by PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (SMI), a company focused on infrastructure development and financing sustainable infrastructure projects in Indonesia. SMI plays a crucial role in supporting the implementation of sustainable projects, including those in the energy sector, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts.

The two-day event brought together several debtors from the power generation sector, including PLTU (Coal-fired Power Plants), PLTGU (Combined Cycle Power Plants), and PLTG (Gas Turbine Power Plants). The training aimed to provide in-depth insights into the role of the energy sector in achieving the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets, along with various strategies and challenges related to decarbonization.

Key Training Topics

The training was led by a number of experts in their respective fields, including:

1. Prasetyadi Utomo, Director of GHG Inventory and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. During his session, he discussed the Role of the Energy Sector in Achieving NDC Targets. Mr. Utomo explained how the energy sector can significantly contribute to the national emissions reduction targets set by the Indonesian government.
2. Randy Ismail from Insolity Consulting, who presented the GHG Inventory & Decarbonization Workshop for SMI’s Debtor. In this session, participants learned the fundamentals and techniques of preparing greenhouse gas inventories, which can be applied in the energy sector to support decarbonization efforts.
3. A crucial topic discussed was the Implementation of Carbon Trading in the Power Generation Subsector, which provided an overview of the opportunities and challenges involved in carbon trading as a means of reducing emissions in the electricity generation sector.
4. Another significant session covered Greenhouse Gas Inventory Calculations for the power generation subsector, where participants learned the process of calculating emissions produced by power plants and explored methods to reduce their carbon footprint through technical measures and policies.

Maxpower Indonesia gained several key benefits that will enhance its commitment to environmental sustainability and energy transition in Indonesia. Some of the main advantages include:

1. Enhanced Understanding of Environmental Policies
   Through this training, Maxpower Indonesia gained a deeper understanding of the energy sector’s role in achieving national emissions reduction targets, along with the various government policies and strategies designed to tackle greenhouse gas emissions in the power generation sector.
2. Preparation for GHG Inventory Implementation
   With the knowledge gained about emissions inventory calculations, Maxpower Indonesia is better prepared to conduct accurate GHG inventories within its operations, in compliance with reporting requirements and to support transparency in emissions reduction efforts.
3. Capacity Building in Decarbonization
   The training provided practical insights into decarbonization efforts, equipping Maxpower Indonesia with the tools and knowledge needed to reduce its carbon footprint and implement more sustainable practices within its operations.
