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.
