A coal mining truck operates at an opencast coalmine in Kalimantan, Indonesia, on December 8, 2024. Environmental activists express concern about the slow growth of renewable energy and the continued reliance on coal. In 2001, Indonesia has 93.8 million hectares of primary forest, covering more than 50% of its total land area. By 2023, Indonesia loses 292 thousand hectares of primary forest, equivalent to 221 million tons of CO2 emissions. Of this loss, 144 thousand hectares are located within Indonesia's official forest land cover classes and have a patch size larger than two hectares. Coal consumption in Indonesia surges in the last decade. In 2013, Indonesia's coal consumption is recorded at 72.07 million tons. This figure jumps to 138.42 million tons in 2019 and further increases to 212.87 million tons in 2023. Meanwhile, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) acknowledges that Indonesia is still dependent on coal to meet its energy needs and will require a significant amount of time to transition away from this dependency.

A man smokes a bidi, or hand-rolled tobacco, as he waits for a train carrying coal rakes to pass at a crossing close to the coal-fired thermal Power Plant of National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), at Dadri in Gautam Budh Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, India on May 5, 2022. Amid the rampant rise in power demand due to the prevailing heatwave, India is staring at a coal crisis, with stock critically low at 108 of its 173 thermal power plants. The power cuts are sparking scrutiny of country’s long reliance on coal, which is responsible for about 70% of India's electricity generation.
