Bekasi, 4th August 2023 - The government, in collaboration with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), is taking significant steps towards realizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. The Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy, and Energy Conservation (DJEBTKE) under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), is working together with the UK in the MENTARI program, specifically the Energy Efficiency component (MENTARI EE). In this joint effort, they organized a meeting to develop an application for monitoring and reporting GHG emissions. The meeting gathered key stakeholders, including the application development team, environmental experts, information technology specialists, company management, and relevant departments. The meeting was held in a hybrid format, combining offline and online participation.

The objective of this meeting is to create a powerful application that effectively and efficiently monitors and reports GHG emissions. It addresses several critical factors, such as the need to comply with regulations that require organizations to report GHG emissions as part of environmental impact reduction and climate change mitigation efforts. Additionally, the meeting reflects the growing awareness of environmental concerns, with organizations aiming to actively participate in global initiatives to reduce GHG emissions and promote sustainability. The application development process aims to design a concrete mitigation plan to reduce GHG emissions by collecting data and analyzing trends. Through this application, organizations can identify energy consumption inefficiencies and design more effective energy efficiency strategies. Moreover, the GHG emission monitoring and reporting application fosters transparency and accountability, as organizations can report emissions to stakeholders, including management, shareholders, and clients. The hope is that the application will also increase employees' awareness of their activities' impact on GHG emissions and motivate them to contribute to overall emission reductions.

In his remarks, the Coordinator of Supervision of Energy Conservation, Mr. Endra Dedy Tamtama from DJEBTKE, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, emphasized the potential of this initiative in boosting the company's energy performance. The digitalization aspect plays a pivotal role in enhancing the application's efficiency, accuracy, and integration with the organization's energy management system. By adopting digital technology, the data collection, analysis, and reporting processes can be significantly expedited. Additionally, digitization enables easy access and sharing of information related to GHG emissions at various organizational levels. Furthermore, digitization allows for a more flexible development process, ensuring the application remains up-to-date with the latest technological advancements and organizational needs. Real-time access to GHG emission data further enhances transparency and facilitates quicker decision-making processes. Overall, digitization proves to be a crucial factor in maximizing the effectiveness and success of developing GHG emission monitoring and reporting applications.
