Glossary of Indonesian Carbon Regulations Terminologies

A

  English: Climate Change Adaptation Action
  Explanation: Actions taken to adapt to actual or anticipated climate impacts, by building anticipation strategies and leveraging beneficial opportunities.
  Example: Building sea walls to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels.

• Aksi Mitigasi Perubahan Iklim:
  English: Climate Change Mitigation Action
  Explanation: Activities that can reduce GHG emissions, increase carbon absorption, and/or enhance carbon storage/strengthening.
  Example: Implementing a reforestation program to increase carbon sequestration.

B

• Baseline Emisi GRK (Baseline Business as Usual Emisi GRK):
  English: GHG Emissions Business-as-Usual Baseline
  Explanation: Estimated levels and projections of GHG emissions in identified sectors or activities over a specified period without mitigation policy and/or technology interventions.
  Example: Projecting that a country's annual CO2 emissions will reach 1 billion tons by 2030 if no mitigation actions are taken.

• Batas Atas Emisi GRK:
  English: Upper Limit of GHG Emissions
  Explanation: The highest level of GHG emissions set for a certain period.
  Example: Setting a limit of 100,000 tons of CO2 equivalent per year for a large industrial facility.

• Bursa Karbon:
  English: Carbon Exchange
  Explanation: A system that regulates the recording of carbon reserves, Carbon Trading, and the ownership status of Carbon Units.
  Example: A platform where companies can buy and sell carbon credits to offset their emissions.

E

• Emisi GRK:
  English: GHG Emissions
  Explanation: The release of GHGs into the atmosphere in a certain area within a certain time period.
  Example: A coal-fired power plant releasing 2 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.

H

• Hak Atas Karbon:
  English: Carbon Rights
  Explanation: The state's control over carbon.
  Example: The government's authority to regulate and manage carbon resources within the country.

I

• Inventarisasi Emisi GRK:
  English: GHG Emissions Inventory
  Explanation: Activities to obtain data and information on the level, status, and trends of GHG emissions periodically from various emission sources and their absorbers.
  Example: Annual national inventory of GHG emissions from all sectors including energy, agriculture, and industrial processes.

K

• Kapasitas Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim:
  English: Climate Change Adaptive Capacity
  Explanation: The potential or ability of a system to adapt to climate change, including climate variability and extremes, to reduce potential damage or take advantage of opportunities.
  Example: A coastal city's ability to implement flood prevention measures and early warning systems.

N

• NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution):
  English: Nationally Determined Contribution
  Explanation: The national commitment for global climate change management to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
  Example: Indonesia's commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 29% (unconditional) to 41% (conditional) by 2030 compared to the business-as-usual scenario.

• NEK (Nilai Ekonomi Karbon):
  English: Carbon Economic Value
  Explanation: The value assigned to each unit of greenhouse gas emissions generated from human and economic activities.
  Example: Assigning a value of $25 per ton of CO2 equivalent emitted.

P

• Perdagangan Karbon:
  English: Carbon Trading
  Explanation: A market-based mechanism to reduce GHG emissions through buying and selling Carbon Units.
  Example: A company with excess carbon credits selling them to another company that has exceeded its emission limits.

• PTBAE (Persetujuan Teknis Batas Atas Emisi):
  English: Technical Approval for Upper Emission Limit
  Explanation: Technical approval regarding the Upper Limit of GHG Emissions in a Sub-Sector or sub-Sub-Sector.
  Example: The Ministry of Environment and Forestry approving an upper emission limit of 5 million tons CO2e for the cement industry sub-sector.

• PTBAE-PU (Persetujuan Teknis Batas Atas Emisi bagi Pelaku Usaha):
  English: Technical Approval for Upper Emission Limit for Business Actors
  Explanation: The determination of the Upper Limit of GHG Emissions for Business Actors and/or the determination of emission quotas in a certain Compliance Period for each Business Actor.
  Example: A specific steel manufacturing plant receiving approval for an upper emission limit of 100,000 tons CO2e per year.

• Pungutan Atas Karbon:
  English: Carbon Levy
  Explanation: A state levy, both central and regional, imposed on goods and/or services that have potential and/or carbon content and/or businesses and/or activities that have the potential to emit carbon and/or emit carbon that can have a negative impact on the environment and/or the performance of Climate Change Mitigation Actions.
  Example: A tax of $10 per ton of CO2 equivalent emitted by large industrial facilities.

S

• SPE-GRK (Sertifikat Pengurangan Emisi GRK):
  English: GHG Emission Reduction Certificate
  Explanation: A letter form of proof of emission reduction by businesses and/or activities that have gone through Measurement, Reporting, and Verification, and are recorded in the National Registry System for Climate Change Control in the form of a registry number and/or code.
  Example: A certificate issued to a company that has reduced its emissions by 10,000 tons CO2e through energy efficiency measures.

• SRN PPI (Sistem Registri Nasional Pengendalian Perubahan Iklim):
  English: National Registry System for Climate Change Control
  Explanation: A web-based data and information management and provision system about actions and resources for Climate Change Mitigation, Climate Change Adaptation, and Carbon Economic Value in Indonesia.
  Example: An online platform where companies can register their emission reduction projects and track their carbon credits.

U

• Unit Karbon:
  English: Carbon Unit
  Explanation: Proof of carbon ownership in the form of a certificate or technical approval stated in 1 (one) ton of carbon dioxide recorded in the SRN PPI.
  Example: A company holding 1000 carbon units, each representing one ton of CO2 equivalent that has been reduced or sequestered.
