Developing countries face multiple challenges in achieving their energy transitions. CBM in Indonesia could potentially be a catalyst for energy transition and subsequently improve access to energy. However, CBM faces numerous challenges and although Indonesia first developed its domestic CBM sector over more than a decade ago, they are still to implement this successfully. This book exposes the challenges and opportunities of CBM, exploring what lessons other countries could learn from Indonesia to improve the industry with a view to achieving energy transition and climate change targets. This book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and practitioners working in this field. Theresia Sumarno holds a PhD in Energy Economics, Policy and Management. She has worked in the energy industry since 2009, firstly as an Auditor at Ernst & Young and subsequently as a fiscal policy analyst at the National Exploration Committee. She is an independent Energy Policy Consultant for international and intergovernmental organisations and a visiting lecturer at Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (Mozambique). Her research is not only focused on Indonesias energy transition, but additionally on fiscal and taxation issues in the energy transition, both for Indonesia and internationally.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1440418}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-85490-4}, }
