Indonesia Introduces Carbon Trading For Its Coal Power Plants
02 Mar 2023
Indonesia has announced that the initial phase of rolling out
a carbon trading mechanism for coal power
plants has begun. It will cover 99 plants which will be provided a quota of 20
million tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
The mechanism will enable
plants that exceed their emissions quota to purchase carbon allowances from
producers who stayed below their quota, or alternatively from plants that
produce renewable energy.
