Summary

Prabowo Promotes CCS

Prabowo Subianto's administration in Indonesia champions carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, yet critics contend it favors corporate profits over real climate solutions. While CCS has been around for years, it only manages emissions instead of cutting them. The government's push for coal expansion starkly opposes global climate pledges, casting shadows on their environmental commitment.
