The country has the third-highest amount of coal plants in the world behind China and India.
Helsinki-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air said that the Suralaya contributes to hazardous smog in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta.
The Suralaya plant – already the largest in Southeast Asia – has eight units in operation. Plans to build two more would emit 250 million metric tonnes of climate-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the groups said in a letter to World Bank compliance ombudsman Janine Ferretti. “IFC did not directly support the construction of the Suralaya coal-fired power complex and has not taken part at any stage in its development,” an IFC spokesman said.
CREA said it also contributes to hazardous smog in the capital Jakarta, which topped the list of the world’s most polluted cities in August.
