“…The difference in the estimated value of the health impact and the cost of resulting externality strengthens the opinion of previous research that applying different calculation methods will produce different results, and the assumptions used can also affect the results of the accuracy of the calculation.

To encourage national economic growth, efforts are made to maintain electricity availability in Indonesia. Until now, the need for electrical energy in Indonesia is still supplied by fossil fuel power plants, especially Steam Power Plants and Gas Steam Power Plants. One of the negative impacts arising from electricity generation activities is air pollution. Air pollution is produced in the form of waste gases such as PM10, SO2, NO2, and these gases causes global warming and impact of human health. In this study, the magnitude of the negative impact calculated based on the impact on public health, which will then be limited to economic value (cost of externalities). Cost of externalities are conditions when the effect of the production of goods or services imposes costs or benefits on other parties, and these costs are not reflected in the price charged for the goods or services produced. The estimation of public health impacts and externality costs calculated in this study comes from power plants operating at the Muara Karang Generation Unit using Robust Uniform World Model (RUWM). The research results show that the amount of health and externality costs obtained for each power plant are different because each power plant has different operating conditions. In PLTGU Block 1, the resulting externality cost was 18,51 cents USD/kWh, PLTGU Block 2 was 3,05 cents USD/kWh, and PLTGU Block 3 was 1,75 cents USD/kWh. The two Unit of PLTU Muara Karang generate different externality costs, namely 1,52 cents USD/kWh for PLTU Unit 4 and PLTU Unit 5 of 1,10 cents USD/kWh.

“…Beyond environmental consequences, GHG emissions impact public health, including the worsening of respiratory diseases [11]. With the estimated health cost at USD 15.98/MWh and a total of 120 CFPPs in Indonesia, the impact on the current generation is intolerable [12]. Exacerbated by the fact that Jakarta, the capital, is the world's most polluted city, largely due to the emissions from nearby CFPPs [13], air pollution ranks among the top five leading causes of mortality in Indonesia, with an annual toll of 123,000 deaths [14].…”

Indonesia’s commitment to the Paris Agreement and its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) is not adequately reflected in the significant CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel-intensive energy sectors, despite the enormous potential of renewable energy sources in the country. The ongoing coal regime has led to electricity oversupply and air pollution problems. Despite the huge challenges for Indonesia, a just energy transition away from fossil fuel is crucial. This study aims to explore the ideal energy mix and key emission reduction pathway in Indonesia in achieving a just energy transition using the least-cost optimisation energy modelling tool OSeMOSYS. Six scenarios are modelled over the period 2015–2050 including coal phase-out, NDC, the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), and carbon tax implementation. The results highlight that solar power, geothermal power, and hydropower are the alternatives for coal decommissioning. Despite the large-scale investment in renewable energy under the NDC and JETP scenarios, emissions could be reduced by 55% and 52%, respectively, by 2050. Moreover, Indonesia’s current carbon tax rate will not lead to a significant emission reduction. Three recommended policies include (1) accelerating CFPP retirement; (2) imposing an aggressive carbon tax rate; (3) prioritising investment in solar technologies.

“…To reduce dependence on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions, people are increasing energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption by gradually implementing more efficient ways of burning coal. − In recent years, the world has paid attention to the use of renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions. − However, the coal-fired power generation technology takes a long time to build. The structure of coal power generation will not change much in a short time …”

The thermal analysis kinetic behavior of pulverized coal combustion in different oxygen-rich atmospheres is studied with a thermogravimetric (TG) analyzer. The effects of heating rate on combustion characteristic are considered. The results showed that the combustion rate of pulverized coal increased and the burnout time decreased under the conditions of an oxygen-enriched atmosphere and high heating rate. As the heating rate increases, the TG and derivative TG curves of the coal samples generally move toward the high-temperature region, and the thermal hysteresis phenomenon occurs. The changes in oxygen concentration and heating rate mainly affect the combustion stage of coal samples. The decrease in heating rate or the increase in oxygen concentration will cause a decrease in ignition point temperature and burnout temperature. Under the condition of 40% O2, the oxygen concentration and heating rate have the greatest influence on the combustion characteristic parameters. In addition, the combustion reaction of pulverized coal in the warming process was analyzed by FWO and KAS methods, respectively. The results showed that the changes in oxygen concentration and heating rate affected the activation energy, and the activation energy of coal samples increased with the increase in oxygen concentration.
