“…Against this backdrop, the ASEAN member states have been enthusiastically embracing coal in recent years. As much of the world is pivoting away from fossil fuels, many Southeast Asian countries have been rapidly expanding their use of coal to meet the region's rising energy consumption, chiefly the projected rise in demand for electricity (Clark et al, 2020;Overland et al, 2021). In 2019, coal demand was projected to grow 5 per cent annually in Southeast Asia through 2023, the highest growth rate in the world.…”

The global energy system is currently undergoing a rapid transition, with profound consequences for the fossil fuel industries, perhaps most notably the one with the highest greenhouse gas emissions -coal. Having played a major role in recent decades, especially in rapidly growing emerging economies such as China and India, coal is being phased out across much of the world, as its environmental and health impacts have become prohibitively costly while its supposed economic advantages are rapidly disappearing as its relative affordability is undermined by the falling cost of renewable energy in many parts of the world (

The Expanding Coal Power Fleet in Southeast Asia: Implications for Future CO₂ Emissions and Electricity Generation

Coal combustion for power generation made up 30% of global CO2 emissions in 2018. To achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement to keep global average temperatures below 2°C, power generation must be decarbonized globally by mid‐century. This requires a rapid phase‐out of coal‐fired power generation. However, global coal power expansion continues, mostly in developing countries where electricity demand continues to increase. Since the early 2010s, Southeast Asia's coal power capacity expansion has been among the fastest in the world, following China and India, but its implications for the global climate and regional energy transition remain understudied. Here we examine Southeast Asia's power generation pipeline as of mid‐2020 and evaluate its implications for the region's CO2 emissions over the plant lifetime as well as projected electricity generation between 2020‐2030 in Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. We find that power plants under construction and planned in Southeast Asia as of 2020 will more than double the region's fossil fuel power generation capacity. If all fossil fuel plants under development are built, Southeast Asia's power sector CO2 emissions will increase by 72% from 2020 to 2030 and long‐term committed emissions will double. Moreover, in Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, projected electricity generation from fossil fuel plants under development, combined with generation from renewable capacity targets and existing power capacity, will exceed future national electricity demand. As a result, fossil fuel plants will likely be underutilized and/or become stranded assets while also potentially crowding out renewable energy deployment.

“…The abundant renewable energy sources in the Southeast Asian region, especially in Indonesia, so far have not been able to be utilized very well [1][2][3][4]. Renewable energy which is abundant in Southeast Asia cannot be utilized optimally, such as hydropower, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass power and solar power [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Southeast Asian member countries have made various efforts with plans and targets for the use of renewable energy.…”

The potential of hydropower that can be utilized in Indonesia is quite abundant and cannot be utilized optimally until now. While the government has targeted the use of renewable energy in 2025 by 23% along with an emission reduction of 29% in 2030. This research is conducting experiments with the aim of analyzing the performance level of Turbine Pelton Runner rotation speed using bamboo material. The turbine design is made with two different models between square nozzle made of bamboo material and round nozzle made of copper. The results showed that bamboo material designed with a square nozzle to rotate the Turbine Pelton Runner can produce a higher speed of 794.4 rpm than a round copper nozzle of 663 rpm. Increased Turbine rotation will produce higher electric energy. The potential for water discharge at the time of testing was quite large so as to produce electric power reaching 150 kW. The square nozzle designed from bamboo material to rotate the Turbine Pelton Runner is the latest in this article. Overall Turbine rotation performance for all three tests showed a significant improvement.
