Abstract

Gasification stoves that utilize used cooking oil as fuel represent a significant innovation in renewable energy. People generally perceive used cooking oil as cooking oil that is no longer suitable for frying, often discarding it as waste or selling it to collectors for export and biodiesel production. However, used cooking oil can be repurposed as stove fuel, presenting an advancement in appropriate waste-to-energy technology. This approach enables cooking oil that is no longer used for frying to serve as a renewable fuel source for stoves. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of used cooking oil stoves by employing a gasification mechanism to accelerate heating. The efficiency evaluation includes thermal efficiency, measured using the Water Boiling Test method, along with values for Fuel Consumption Rate (FCR), Combustion Input Power (Pin), and Combustion Output Power (Pout). Thus, our study is the first to comprehensively evaluate the performance of used cooking oil (UCO)-fueled gasification stoves by analyzing these metrics, addressing a research gap in prior studies. Testing and analysis were conducted using water samples of three different volumes: 1 liter, 2 liters, and 3 liters. The results indicate thermal efficiency rates of 30.49 % for 1 liter of water, 15.54 % for 2 liters, and 16.45 % for 3 liters. The highest recorded FCR value is 1 liter/hour, the largest Pin value is 8,246.10 watts, and the highest Pout value is 1,481.28 watts. The decline in thermal efficiency and output power is attributed to the stove’s design. Specifically, the blower pipe air hole is positioned perpendicular to the blower pipe within the combustion chamber. As a result, the flames primarily strike the combustion chamber walls, with only a portion of the reflected heat directed toward the container holding boiling water. This leads to excessive heating within the combustion chamber, while the temperature of the flames reaching the water container remains relatively lower. The electrical power consumption of the stove is measured at 10.89 watts. As a contribution, our study provides an alternative cooking solution that supports Indonesia’s energy diversification efforts by reducing reliance on LPG and alleviating the government’s subsidy burden.

Abstract

Clean cooking is a critical agenda for enhancing access to clean energy in developing nations. In 2023–2024, the Indonesian government implemented a programme to distribute free rice cookers to underprivileged communities, yet this initiative has not previously been evaluated. This study addresses that gap by examining the impact of the rice cooker distribution on household energy consumption and LPG dependency. While several studies have assessed clean cooking programmes—such as biogas, induction, solar-powered stoves, and electric pressure cookers—this research is among the first to evaluate a rice cooker programme in a large-scale field setting, thereby offering novel insights and contributing to the literature on the clean energy transition. A Slovin sampling strategy selected 600 respondents from among 342,621 households across 36 provinces with a margin of error of approximately 4.1%. Primary data were analysed using descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions and cross-tabulations, alongside inferential methods such as ordered logistic regression to investigate the determinants of satisfaction of this program and also t-tests to compare electricity consumption and LPG usage before and after receiving the rice cooker. In addition, secondary data comprising 5,814,476 records on monthly electricity consumption from January 2023 to May 2024 were utilised. Our evaluation reveals that the free rice cooker programme has led to a significant increase in per capita electricity consumption and a corresponding reduction in LPG consumption and subsidies. Although household electricity bills have risen, most respondents report that the efficiency and convenience of the rice cooker offset these additional costs. These findings support the further expansion and continual evaluation of such clean cooking initiatives, enhancing energy resilience in Indonesia and other developing countries.

Abstract

Despite growing interest in the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), there remains a significant research gap in reviewing its nuanced impacts on the least developed economies—particularly in terms of sectoral vulnerabilities, institutional constraints, and the absence of empirical evidence from real-world implementation. Thus, we systematically investigate the CBAM implications for developing countries through a structured literature review. We offer a novel contribution by examining CBAM’s overlooked impacts on the smallest and least developed economies, highlighting distributional effects on labor-intensive sectors and small exporters. Starting with an initial pool of 1,197 articles sourced via Publish or Perish, we apply the PRISMA and PICO frameworks to screen and refine the selection, ultimately analyzing 37 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2024 in Q1–Q3 Scopus-indexed journals. Our review identifies five major thematic concerns: trade competitiveness, industrial vulnerability, green technology access, climate justice, and policy responses. It finds that CBAM poses significant economic risks for carbon-intensive exports from the Global South, particularly in sectors such as iron, fertilizer, cement, and aluminum. Countries like Indonesia, India, China, and Vietnam face varying degrees of exposure depending on emission intensity and trade composition. We highlight the absence of embedded climate justice mechanisms and structural barriers to green technology access, which may hinder just net-zero transitions. In response, scholars recommend policy mechanisms such as revenue redistribution, differentiated carbon accounting, and international capacity-building. We conclude by contrasting CBAM with protectionist measures such as those enacted during the Trump administration, emphasizing CBAM’s environmental rationale while calling for adaptive, equitable strategies that align global climate goals with sustainable development in vulnerable economies. Our study advances academic discourse by elucidating the varied ways in which CBAM is conceptualized and debated across different scholarly perspectives. It also offers practical recommendations for policymakers—including financial assistance, technology transfer, and institutional capacity building—to better align climate ambition with the principles of development equity.

Abstract

Carbon pricing serves as an effective economic instrument to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while fostering investment in renewable energy by reducing dependence on fossil fuels. This study examines the development of carbon pricing policies to accelerate the energy transition, focusing on the Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) sector. The proposed scheme is based on the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), tailored to local regulations and industrial capacities. This research employs a systematic review and content analysis of successfully implemented carbon pricing policies in various countries. While carbon pricing has been applied in the energy and forestry sectors, existing studies often lack specificity regarding emission thresholds or quantified carbon values across different emission sources. The IPPU sector, despite being a significant emitter, remains underrepresented in current policy design and academic literature. The findings indicate that carbon commercialisation supports renewable energy transition projects and increases investment in the electricity sector. This study proposes a carbon credit scheme tailored to the Indonesian wood industry (referred to as Industry X), which has begun integrating biomass and bioenergy to compensate for fossil-based emissions. The novelty of this study lies in its targeted focus on the IPPU sector and the practical application of a carbon pricing framework for industrial decarbonisation. The results suggest that integrating carbon pricing with fiscal incentives and energy regulations enhances industrial competitiveness in transitioning to clean energy. This study provides policy recommendations to improve carbon pricing mechanisms, supporting renewable energy investment and sustainable industrial transformation.

Abstract

Smart renewable energy investment is increasingly recognized as a critical component of green financial mechanisms aimed at achieving carbon neutrality, particularly within the ASEAN region, which faces the dual challenge of sustaining economic growth while mitigating environmental degradation. However, the effectiveness of such investments is influenced by complex factors, including geopolitical instability, environmental constraints, and disparities in financial access. Our study empirically examines the dynamic relationship between smart renewable investment, green finance, and carbon emissions in seven ASEAN economies over the period 2001–2023. Employing second-generation panel cointegration techniques, specifically the Continuously Updated Fully Modified and Continuously Updated Bias-Corrected estimators, this analysis accounts for cross-sectional dependence, heterogeneity, and non-stationarity in the panel data. The results reveal that both renewable energy investment and green finance exert a statistically significant negative impact on CO? emissions, confirming their effectiveness in facilitating the region’s transition toward low-carbon development. In contrast, economic indicators such as foreign direct investment, gross domestic product growth, and gross fixed capital formation are positively correlated with emissions, highlighting the environmental costs associated with traditional growth trajectories. Moreover, geopolitical risk is identified as a critical factor exacerbating emissions, suggesting that regional instability can hinder sustainable energy deployment and delay decarbonization efforts. The policy implications of these findings highlight the importance of establishing stable and harmonized green finance frameworks in ASEAN, including fiscal incentives, public–private collaboration, and the integration of geopolitical risk assessments into national energy planning. Furthermore, the development of regional green capital markets and innovative mechanisms such as emissions trading and carbon pricing is deemed crucial to strengthening cross-border investment flows and supporting the transition toward sustainable development.

Abstract

Transitioning to sustainable energy sources is essential to ensure environmental sustainability and energy security. Integrating energy transition with local economic activities in rural areas remains challenging, particularly in developing innovative community-based financing mechanisms. This study explores how Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), managing water tourism in Klaten district, Central Java, have initiated community-based financing models to support the utilization of water resources as an alternative energy source. The research involved 30 BUMDes affiliated with the Klaten Water Tourism Association. Using a qualitative case study approach, a SWOT analysis was applied to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of developing these financing models. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with BUMDes administrators, focus group discussions (FGDs), and analysis of financial and operational documents. The study provides an initial assessment of risk mitigation and implementation feasibility within the current institutional and regulatory frameworks. The results offer a structured framework for policymakers, BUMDes managers, and development institutions to evaluate the potential of community financing and water-based energy synergies in the rural tourism sector. Ultimately, empowering BUMDes to advance innovative community financing is expected to strengthen local community resilience and promote integrated rural development strategies in Indonesia.

Abstract

The European Union (EU) introduced the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to impose carbon price on imported goods based on their carbon footprint, aiming to mitigate carbon leakage and accelerate global decarbonization. While designed to promote sustainable industrial practices, CBAM poses significant challenges for emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), including Indonesia, which depends heavily on carbon-intensive industries for export revenues. This study investigates CBAM’s potential impact on Indonesia’s trade competitiveness, economic stability, and policy landscape by comparing its projected consequences in Indonesia with its implementation in the EU. This research employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, analyzing academic studies, policy reports from organizations such as the OECD, WTO, and IMF, and case studies from Indonesia and EU member states. The findings reveal that implementing CBAM in Indonesia would elevate production costs, weaken export competitiveness, and heighten economic risks for industries reliant on high-emission production, particularly in the manufacturing and energy sectors. Moreover, CBAM could intensify social challenges, including job losses and inflationary pressures. However, a comparative analysis with the EU’s experience highlights potential opportunities for Indonesia, such as incentives for a green economic transition, increased investment in renewable energy, and alignment with global sustainability standards. These findings underscore the urgency for Indonesia to formulate strategic policy responses, including trade diversification, technological innovation, and active participation in international climate negotiations. By providing a comparative perspective, this study advances the discourse on climate and trade policies, emphasizing the need for an equitable and adaptive regulatory framework that enables developing economies to navigate the global transition toward sustainability.

Abstract

One of the strategies used to decrease the production of greenhouse gases is to promote the use of clean, renewable energy. Mitigation initiatives are also part of the action plan to meet the Paris Agreement, which aims to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C. The growth of the new and renewable energy mix is influenced by a variety of factors, including the economy, technology, energy consumption behavior, financial support, and policy instruments implemented by a country. The novelty of this study lies in examining the effects of five policy tools (i.e., net metering, feed-in tariffs, renewable portfolio standards/quotas, tax incentives, and auctions) on renewable energy growth across Southeast Asian countries grouped by gross domestic product per capita level, which are high (i.e., Singapore, Brunei), upper-middle (i.e., Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand), and lower-middle (i.e., Cambodia, Myanmar). A fixed-effect model under the Feasible Generalized Least Squares approach was used for panel data estimation with data spanning from 2010 to 2022. It was found that of the 5 policy instruments utilized, net metering, feed-in tariffs, and renewable energy portfolios had a substantial impact on the accelerating renewable energy growth. In comparison, auctions and tax incentives did not. According to the findings, the three types of policy instruments can be strengthened and utilized as recommendations to accelerate the transition to new and renewable energy.

Abstract

What role does climate vulnerability play in directing public-private and private energy investments worldwide? This study investigates the determinants of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) energy investment, private energy investment, and renewable energy output using a random-effects panel data model for 214 countries from 2010-2022. We particularly examine the role of climate vulnerability and readiness, as measured by the ND-GAIN index, alongside institutional, economic, and energy-specific control variables. Our findings reveal that higher climate readiness (lower vulnerability) significantly boosts both PPP and private energy investments. Key institutional factors such as voice and accountability, alongside structural indicators like population and trade openness, also positively influence private energy investment. For renewable energy output, existing renewable energy consumption patterns, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, and lower energy intensity (higher efficiency) emerge as significant positive drivers. While direct PPP energy investment does not show a statistically significant direct impact on the share of renewable energy output in our comprehensive models, its role in overall energy sector development, coupled with the crucial influence of climate adaptation capacity, underscores the complex dynamics shaping the global energy landscape. These results highlight the importance of enhancing climate resilience and institutional quality to mobilize necessary capital for a sustainable energy future.
