VIVA – President Commissioner of VKTR Teknologi Mobilitas Tbk (VKTR), Anindya Novyan Bakrie said that Indonesia has a bright future and is a leader in decarbonization and a leader in the green industrial revolution in the Net Zero Emission transition era.
This was conveyed when he was one of the speakers at the 'Indonesia Net-Zero Summit 2023: It's Now or Never!", with the theme "The Tech to Net-Zero: Which Are The True Solutions?".
"Such an achievement is very much possible for Indonesia, with a number of natural resources at its disposal to achieve this goal," Bakrie said, as quoted from a post on his personal Instagram @anindyabakrie on Tuesday.
"This is because we have all the essential ingredients needed for decarbonization. Our nickel reserves are the largest in the world, and other materials are also large."
In addition, Indonesia's renewable energy resources are also huge, reaching 500 Gigawatts (GW).
"All around us is biodiversity that can absorb up to 100 gigatons of CO2," he said.
Therefore, Anindya Bakrie emphasized that these things are opportunities and challenges, which if they can be utilized properly, will be able to bring Indonesia into a developed country.
"So, both the Government, private sector, NGOs, academics, and so on, must collaborate to take advantage of opportunities. It is also important to build partnerships not only domestically, but also abroad," Bakrie explained.
