⚠️ The IMO's net-zero goal is at risk. Unless safeguards against indirect land use change (#ILUC) are included in its framework, increased use of crop-based biofuels could drive-up emissions.
Solutions exist:
🌱 Cap high risk feedstocks
🌏 Adopt a global framework
📊 Use science-based metrics
BEVs are the most effective path to 🇮🇩Indonesia’s net-zero 2060 target compared to other powertrain alternatives. BEVs cut emissions by 27% for two-wheelers and 47% for SUVs on today’s grid, rising to up to 72% and 65% by 2030 as the grid decarbonizes.
