Description:
This paper examines the implications of SO"2 emission mitigation constraints in the power sector planning in Indonesia-a developing country-during 2003-2017 from a long term integrated resource planning perspective. A decomposition model is developed to assess the contributions of supply- and demand-side effects to the total changes in CO"2, SO"2 and NO"x emissions from the power sector due to constraints on SO"2 emissions. The results of the study show that both the supply- and demand-side effects would act towards the reduction of CO"2, SO"2 and NO"x emissions. However, the supply-side effect would play the dominant role in emission mitigations from the power sector in Indonesia. The average incremental SO"2 abatement cost would increase from US$ 970 to US$ 1271 per ton of SO"2, while electricity price would increase by 2-18% if the annual SO"2 emission reduction target is increased from 10% to 25%.
