COUNTRY PAGE - INDONESIA

Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia and the fourth most populous country in the world. It is governed through a unitary presidential constitutional republic. It is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with over 17,000 islands. Indonesia is the fourth largest coal producer in the world and is a former major oil exporter. It was the only Southeast Asian country to have been part of OPEC. Around 87% of its energy comes from fossil fuels, the largest source coming from coal. Its high dependency on coal has made it difficult to shift to renewables, but the need has been acknowledged in recent years.
