Transition to a Towards NetZero Carbon city.

Reaching the goal of carbon neutrality is challenging for a mega city like Jakarta. However, a number of strategies have been proposed that would help the city to move towards NetZero by 2030. Major strategic directions include switching from LPG cookstoves to high-efficient induction type electric cookstoves in households, replacing half of the current two-stroke motorbike stock with electric versions, promoting the uptake of rooftop solar PV on buildings and increasing investment in bicycle infrastructure. Increased bicycle commuting should be given a high priority in the Towards NetZero Carbon scenario - an increase in 10 per cent cycling passenger-km has the potential to reduce city’s energy consumption by 215 ktoe annually.
