        "summary": "Bali Governor Wayan Koster has brought forward the island\u2019s net-zero emissions target to 2040, five years ahead of its previous projection and two decades before Indonesia\u2019s national target. He says the goal depends on expanding electric vehicle use and clean power, including gas-fired generation and solar installations, while the province also plans to establish six low-emission zones.",
        "content": "<p>Bali Governor Wayan Koster is confident the Island of the Gods can\nachieve net-zero emissions by 2040. The target is five years earlier\nthan the initial projection of 2045 and well ahead of the national\ntarget of 2060.<\/p>\n<p>Koster acknowledged that several conditions must be met to achieve\nthe goal. One is cutting emissions from fossil-fuel vehicles by\nincreasing the use of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to intensify the use of electric vehicles further; then 90\nper cent of emissions from coal and oil will fall more quickly. We won\u2019t\nneed to wait until 2045; in my view, it may be possible by 2040,\u201d Koster\nsaid at the opening of Bali Climate Week in Sanur, Denpasar, on Tuesday\n(13 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Koster said coal emissions in Bali also come from power plants that\nremain in operation. He is therefore placing his hopes on a gas-fired\npower plant that is due to be built.<\/p>\n<p>He also plans to promote rooftop and floating solar power\ninstallations to replace existing energy sources. This includes\nrequiring new buildings to install rooftop solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>In his projection, Bali\u2019s energy needs could be met by clean sources\nif the planned gas-fired power plant is completed in 2031 and the\nprovince receives a 1,000-megawatt solar power allocation from the\ncentral government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting at the end of this year, I will step up efforts to promote\nsolar power, electric vehicles and other clean energy sources,\u201d added\nthe PDI-P politician.<\/p>\n<p>Koster is optimistic that, if the goal is achieved, the next priority\nwill be encouraging residents to switch from conventional vehicles to\nelectric ones. He also hopes efforts to establish six low-emission zones\nin Bali will progress, enhancing the island\u2019s image internationally.<\/p>",
