A country in peril:domestic and global energy demand & threat to the environment Fabby Tumiwa Institute for Essential Services Reform Indonesia
Indonesia (de)Forest(ation) Sumber: SDSU & Dephut- MODIS Images, 2007 • Forest Cover: 162 mil ha (1950) 94 mil (2003) • Destructive Forest: 42 mil ha (2003) • People live in forest: 48 mil • Deforestation and forest degradation rate: 1.1-2.6 mil ha/ year
What is the causes? • Population: 97 mil (1961), 215 mil (2003) • Infrastructure development • Land use change: agriculture, plantation, mining • Land clearing • Illegal logging
Coal Production Target • Coal production target: • 2010: 240 - 260 million ton • 2015: 280 - 300 million ton • 2020: 320 - 350 million ton • 2025: 370 million ton • Driver: • Domestic demand growth: 9,17 mil ton/yr • Domestic demand in 2020: 170 mil ton • Domestic demand in 2025: 220 mil ton • International demand growth: 3,8 mil ton/yr

Agrofuel • 70% of the oil palm plantations were planted on land that formally fell within Indonesia’s forest estate between 1982 and 1999. This totaled close to 2.2 million ha of forest land • fragmentation of high conservation value forests (HCVF) • loss of forest ecological functions and socioeconomic benefits for local people.
Demand for Agrofuels • Increased global demand for palm oil to be used for bio-fuels • EU (European Union) target of 5.75% of energy from renewable sources by 2012 • US (United States) administration has pledged to increase the use of renewable fuels from 7.5 billion gallons in 2012 to 35 billion gallons in 2017 • Government of Indonesia has promoted a plan to use oil palm based biodiesel to reduce dependency on fossil fuels by 10% for 2010 and 25% by 2025
Mega Oil Palm Project • Change in mega plan (1.8 million ha new plantation) at the border of Kalimantan (Heart of Borneo eco-region)
Conclusion • Indonesia environment is in peril due to increasing fossil and agrofuel demand from domestic and the world, which is unsustainable. • This pattern must be changed, driver of ecological destruction must be addressed both in domestic and international level.
