Abstract

This paper presents CO2 reduction potentials employing clean coal technologies for power plants in Indonesia. When low ranked coal from huge reserves cannot be excluded from coal-fired power plants to meet electricity demand, it is critical for Indonesia to adopt the best available clean coal technologies for its future coal-fired power plants in order to minimize CO2 emissions in a long term. Several types of coal-fired technologies are considered to be the best match with Indonesia's situation by assessing CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants, levelized costs of electricity generation, and the cost of CO2 avoidance. As a result, supercritical PC, IGCC, CFB, and PFBC technologies are presented as a consideration for policy maker in Indonesia.
