Tallinn, Estonia (ANTARA) - The Estonian government and several\ncompanies from the Baltic nation have offered collaboration on green\ntransition efforts with Indonesia, as a step to curb emission levels and\nanticipate the ongoing trend towards sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can see that all parties are currently moving towards a green\ntransition to reduce emissions. So, this is the main goal,\u201d said\nEstonia\u2019s Deputy Minister for Maritime Affairs and Infrastructure,\nKristjan Truu, to Indonesian journalists in Tallinn on Tuesday (7\/4)\nlocal time.<\/p>\n
According to Truu, the wave of change towards green transition will\nnot stop because it is linked, among other things, to the\ncompetitiveness of countries and regions in the global market,\nparticularly in the international maritime industry sector.<\/p>\n
He cited, for example, the EU\u2019s Clean Industrial Deal, which aims to\nstrengthen the competitiveness of European industry while accelerating\nthe transition to climate-neutral technologies.<\/p>\n
In addition, he said, Estonia also has its own implementation of the\nconcept, such as in the maritime sector, including the Estonia-Finland\ngreen shipping corridor, which aims to create an overall green transport\nchain that includes ports using green energy such as solar and\nelectricity.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the port, that energy is supplied to the ships, and the ships\nsail using green fuel,\u201d he said, adding that they also collaborate with\nseveral European countries such as Sweden.<\/p>\n
When asked why Indonesia needs to implement a green transition, Truu\nexplained that one urgent reason is the IMO (International Maritime\nOrganisation) net-zero framework introduced in 2025.<\/p>\n
He also outlined that his side plans to visit Indonesia to explore\npotential cooperation, exchange experiences, and establish relations in\nthe maritime field with Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, ShoreLink\u2019s Chief Commercial & Strategy Officer (an\nEstonian maritime electricity supplier company), Kaupo Laanerand, stated\nthat fundamentally, the EU is encouraging ship owners to be more\nenvironmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe EU says that electricity needs to come from land (shore power),\nso all ports that are part of Europe\u2019s key network must use land-based\nelectricity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also reminded that with current world oil prices and fuel becoming\nincreasingly expensive, it will also change the mindset of various\nstakeholders such as ship owners to be more motivated to use land-based\nelectricity by stopping for a few hours at ports to get energy\nsupply.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can be said that there is a peak mindset shift happening. And as\nyou can see, electrification is part of the zero-emission framework for\nthe future, and this technology is what can really reduce emissions\nclose to zero,\u201d said Laanerand.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/estonia-offers-green-transition-collaboration-with-indonesia-1775627513", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
