Greenhouse gas emission reduction potential for power generation in Indonesia using boiler advanced technology application

Energy consumption in Indonesia is still dominated by coal, especially for power generation. Coal is one of the sources for air pollution and carbon emissions. Based on Indonesia Energy Outlook 2019, installed capacity for power generation in Indonesia is still dominated by fossil energy, especially coal, which is almost 50% on mix energy, followed by gas 29%, Oil 7% and renewable energy 14%. Coal will have a major role in the installed power generation in Indonesia until 2025 [1]. The utilization of clean coal technology seems a strategic policy in Indonesia for emission reduction in the power sector. The calculation method based on coal ton conversion into CO2 ton emission on methodological tool of UNFCC “Tool to calculate project leakage CO2 emission from fossil fuel combustion” will be used. The data is also given based on IPCC standard for NCV for fuel type and CO2 emission factor for fuel type. This paper will review utilization of clean coal technology using the advanced technologies include super-critical and ultra-super-critical for coal fired steam power plant in Indonesia furthermore the potential reduction of greenhouse gas emission. The result is potential of CO2 gas reduction in Indonesia approximately 6,140,394.90 ton CO2 and it’s equal of 6.14 MTCO2 per year.
