THE IMPACT OF CARBON TAX CALCULATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND THE TARGET TOWARDS NET ZERO EMISSION IN COAL POWER PLTU

Abstract

The background of this research is efforts to reduce carbon emissions by applying a cap & tax scheme to calculating carbon taxes and implementing other NEKs in Presidential Decree 98/2021. The research was carried out by simulating carbon tax calculations in accordance with 3 approaches, namely carbon tax , RPMK and the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. By using the data in the explanation of the 2021 Ministry of Finance webinar. In carrying out a carbon tax calculation simulation, a carbon tax trading mechanism was carried out first by obtaining an SIE/SPE, this mechanism was carried out before the carbon levy mechanism or carbon tax was implemented. In the implementation of the NEK Perpres 98/2021, before levies on carbon or imposition of carbon taxes, another mechanism is first carried out, namely carbon trading and performance-based payments, only then a carbon tax is collected, this mechanism is carried out as an effort to mitigate climate change and target towards the NZE.
