EARLIER, LOWER PEAKThe Treasury official said that the peak power emissions for Indonesia in 2030 under the plan would be at a level 25% lower than their currently estimated peak in 2037.
Indonesia's annual emissions reduction over those years would be larger than Britain's annual power sector emissions, the official said.
