The Ministry of Industry is strengthening strategic measures to support the Net Zero Emission (NZE) target by 2060 through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions control and verification in the electricity sector (08/04).

The initiative is carried out through the verification of electricity emission reporting by the Center for Industrial Standardization and Services for Leather, Rubber, and Plastic Industries (BBSPJIKKP).

The verification activity reflects efforts to strengthen transparent, accountable, and standardized carbon emissions reporting systems aligned with national and international standards.

Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita stated that achieving NZE requires cross-sector collaboration and stronger implementation of green industry practices.

“The transformation toward green industry is no longer an option, but a necessity. Transparent emissions control and reporting are an important foundation in maintaining the competitiveness of the national industry in the global market,” he said in Jakarta.

PLTU Banjarsari Becomes Site of Electricity Emissions Verification Activity

The emissions verification was conducted at PLTU Banjarsari, owned by PT Bukit Pembangkit Innovative, located in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra. The activity took place on 18–19 February 2026.

This verification is part of efforts to strengthen governance of carbon emissions reporting that is transparent, accountable, and aligned with established standards.

The implementation is also part of the government’s regulatory enforcement in the electricity subsector, which requires annual greenhouse gas emissions reporting.

BSKJI Highlights Role of Technical Units in Green Industry Implementation

Head of the Agency for Industrial Standardization and Policy Services (BSKJI), Emmy Suryandari, emphasized the role of technical units in supporting green industry implementation through credible technical services.

She stated that BSKJI continues to encourage its technical service units to strengthen their capacity to support national green industry development.

These units play a key role in ensuring the availability of reliable technical support for industrial environmental transformation.

BBSPJIKKP Conducts Emissions Data Review and Field Verification

BBSPJIKKP carried out document review, evaluation of emissions calculation methodologies, and assessment of activity data and emission factors.

Field visits were also conducted to ensure consistency between reported data and actual operational conditions.

Head of BBSPJIKKP Cahyadi explained that emissions verification is not only a regulatory requirement but also part of supporting clean energy transition.

“This verification is an important part in encouraging energy efficiency, improving the credibility of emissions reporting systems, and supporting policy formulation based on accurate data,” he said.

Verified Data Supports National Policy and Energy Transition

The verification activity implements Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 16 of 2022, which requires electricity subsector businesses to calculate and report GHG emissions annually.

These reports must be verified by certified Verification and Validation Institutions (LVV), including BBSPJIKKP.

Cahyadi added that independently verified emissions data is expected to become a strong basis for national policy-making and encourage sustainable innovation in the electricity sector.

“We will continue to play an active role in supporting the implementation of emission control policies as a concrete contribution toward a greener, more competitive, and sustainable Indonesia,” he said.
