Round 2
THP emission trading scheme over carbon tax for regulating energy companies in Indonesia (footprint)
View Info Slide
Info Slide
An emissions trading scheme (ETS) is a system where the government sets a limit on how much greenhouse gas certain industries can release into the air. Each company within the industry gets a set number of permits that allow them to emit a certain amount. If a company doesn't use all its permits, it can sell the extra ones to other companies that need more.
On the other hand, a carbon tax is a government-imposed fee on the amount of greenhouse gases emitted.

Round 5
This House believes that the Indonesian Government should focus on developing CCS/CCUS rather than rapidly transitioning to clean/green energy (carbon capture)
View Info Slide
Info Slide
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) are technologies designed to capture carbon dioxide emissions from industrial activities or power generation, which are then either permanently stored underground or repurposed (for example, in enhanced oil recovery). Indonesia is currently exploring the development of several CCS/CCUS projects in collaboration with private sector partners such as BP, Pertamina, and ExxonMobil.

THBT Developing nations should heavily invest in coal gasification technology (coal gasification)
View Info Slide
Info Slide
Coal gasification is a process that turns coal into a mixture called syngas, a gas mixture primarily consisting of CO, H2, CO2, and H2O. Syngas can be processed further to make electricity, liquid fuels (like diesel), and chemicals (like methanol and ammonia)

In the expansion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage, THW prioritize the development of Onshore LNG Terminals over Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs) (LNG)
View Info Slide
Info Slide
An Onshore LNG Terminal is a land-based facility designed to receive, store, and regasify liquefied natural gas (LNG), typically featuring large storage tanks and pipelines with industrial or power infrastructure. In contrast, a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) is a ship-based facility that performs the same function but operates offshore.
