Indonesia has committed to reducing unconditionally 29% of its greenhouse gas emissions against the business-as-usual scenario by the year 2030. The BAU scenario is projected approximately 2,869 GtCO2eq in 2030 which is updated from the BAU scenario on the INDC due to the current condition of energy policy development in particular in coal-fired power plants.
