L’AFD finance la mise en place de plusieurs centrales biogaz à travers sa ligne de crédit à une banque publique indonésienne
http://www.afd.fr/home/pays/asie

• 05/03/2012 En janvier 2012, l’AFD a contribué à hauteur de 16 millions de dollars au financement de l’installation de centrales biogaz sur 8 sites de production d’amidon de manioc. L’entreprise exploitante a mis en place un système de cogénération d’une puissance installée de 23.6MW à partir des eaux usées contenues dans les bassins acides annexés aux sites de production. Cette énergie renouvelable, entièrement utilisée par le système de production de l’entreprise, permet une réduction de 534 000 tonnes d’émissions de CO2 par an. Ce projet, d’un coût total de 41.3 millions de dollars, génère chaque année des économies d’achat d’énergie de 5.3 millions de dollars ainsi que des ventes de crédits carbone (CDM) pour 2.7 millions de dollars. Le projet bénéficie de la ligne de crédit de 100 millions de dollars (non bonifiée) accordée à une banque publique indonésienne en 2010. Cette ligne de crédit soutient des investissements de maîtrise de l’énergie : efficacité énergétique, énergies renouvelables, ainsi que l’usage du gaz en substitution au fioul et au charbon et s’adresse à des sociétés publiques ou privées. Cette ligne de crédit contribue à l’émergence de projets sobres en carbone, enjeu essentiel à la réalisation des objectifs ambitieux de l’Indonésie en termes de réduction de ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre (pour mémoire, le gouvernement s’est engagé à une réduction de 26 à 41% des émissions d’ici 2020).

 

Indonesia deforestation ban ‘weak’: green groups – Times LIVE
http://www.timeslive.co.za/scitech/2012/05/03/indonesia-deforestation-ban-weak-green-groups

• A coalition of green groups in Indonesia has criticised a moratorium on deforestation as « weak », saying the year-long ban still excludes large tracts of the country’s carbon-rich forest
• Greenpeace said the government must review all existing logging permits on the country’s natural forests and peatland, and improve governance based on an accurate set of maps.
• That deal was part of a larger commitment made by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in 2009 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from levels that year by 26 percent by 2020, or 41 percent with international support.
• The coalition charged that the moratorium — which was originally supposed to include all natural forests — had been watered down to protect just older primary forests and peatland because of pressure from big business.

Dans un contexte conjoncturel international dégradé, une modération de l’activité économique est certes attendue en 2012 (en raison, entre autres, d’un ralentissement annoncé des exportations à destination des Etats-Unis et de l’Europe), mais les perspectives demeurent solides : le FMI et la Banque Mondiale font ainsi état de prévisions de croissance supérieures à 6 %.

Business – Indonesia rule change rattles foreign mine owners @ Wed Mar 07 2012
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/business/article/indonesia-rule-change-rattles-foreign-mine-owners

• Newmont and partner Sumitomo Corp, which run the country’s second-biggest copper mine, have already been required to sell 51 per cent in the mine to local state and private investors. The sale of the final 7 per cent to the central government last year drew attacks from opposition lawmakers from the Golkar Party, who said it should go to local government. The family of Golkar chairman Aburizal Bakrie already indirectly owns 24 per cent of the mine through a consortium with local governments. The new regulation calls for foreign firms to first offer stake sales to central government, followed by local government and state-owned enterprises, with private domestic firms able to win any leftovers via auction. “As the divestment process with Newmont showed, (it) is far too easy to be hijacked by powerful business interests who may not have the best interests of the mine at heart,” said risk analyst Keith Loveard of Jakarta-based Concord Consulting. A recent spat between Nat Rothschild, scion of the European banking dynasty, with his Indonesia partners the Bakrie Group, over boardroom control of Bumi Plc also shows an increasing tussle for control for some of the world’s richest mines.

http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wxel/news.newsmain/article/0/0/1911044/Business/Indonesia.says.mine.rules.not.just.aimed.at.Freeport

• The new status could boost calls already growing in the country for a more assertive attitude towards partnership with foreign companies, particularly in the resources sector where last year there were several cases of violent clashes over land rights. Freeport alone contributes 1.6 percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product and, according to the statistics bureau, the mining sector as a whole made up 11.9 percent of the economy in 2011. « Many in Indonesian politics and the public see that Freeport and some other cases are not fair to Indonesia. The principle is that we need to implement that law. But how much and how fast – that is still under the ministry of mining and energy, » Deputy Trade Minister Bayu Krisnamurthi said. « We still believe, even with only 49 percent, it (the mining sector) is still very alluring, still very lucrative for everybody. In some countries, this industry is prohibited from international investors. » Some analysts and mining industry sources said inconsistent policy-making could threaten growth in the sector, which was shaken by a rule last month that companies must stop exporting some unprocessed raw metals in 2014. Coal was exempted. « Fitch believes Indonesia will take a pragmatic approach to industry regulations as failing to do so can have negative consequences for the sector in the long-run, » the ratings agency said in a special report on Thursday.
