GHG emission reduction is a key aspect in global efforts to address climate change, especially in emerging economies such as Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate and select GHG emission mitigation options using the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve (MACC) in support of Indonesia's low-carbon energy transition. The approaches conducted in this study include bottom-up approach for energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission projections, top-down approach for the selection of greenhouse gas emission mitigation options considering the energy supply side and the demand side, which aims to identify various mitigation technologies and policies that can be implemented cost-efficiently using the marginal abatement cost curve approach. The outlook for energy consumption has doubled from the initial year, which was 1,043,883 thousand BOE, to 2,481,005 thousand BOE in 2050. It shows an increase in energy demand to support economic growth and industrialization in the future. The greenhouse gas emission projection also experienced the same trend from the initial year, which amounted to 760,801 ktCO2e to 1,557,902 ktCO2e in 2050. This signaled that GHG emissions in Indonesia will continue to rise in a significant level without more effective actions. GHG emissions in 2050 were 1,557,902 ktco2e before mitigation with a total emission reduction of 950,892 ktco2e, resulting in 607,010 ktco2e of total emissions after mitigation efforts in 2050. The following efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions are carried out, including increasing the capacity of geothermal and solar power plants, developing CCS technology, efficiency from the industrial sector, using energy-efficient lamps and increasing the number of two-wheeled and four-wheeled electric vehicles.
