Exhibit 60<br />

With 5.9 MtCO2e annual emissions, Balikpapan accounts for just 2 percent of <strong>East</strong><br />

<strong>Kalimantan</strong>’s emissions. Balikpapan resembles much more the industrialized world than the rest<br />

of <strong>East</strong> <strong>Kalimantan</strong> in its emissions profile. Manufacturing and services account for a sizeable share,<br />

mainly driven by consumption by the city’s residents and businesses of power (1.4 MtCO2e) and<br />

transport (0.8 MtCO2e). Few emissions result from change in land use; only 540 ha are deforested a<br />

year. In addition, the Pertamina refinery alone is estimated to produce 3.3 MtCO2e from the energy<br />

consumed in the refining process as well as flaring and other process emissions (EXHIBIT 60).<br />

Refining accounts for about 3.3 Mt CO2e, half of Balikpapan’s total<br />

emissions<br />

The priority sectors will yield little abatement, approximately 0.2 MtCO2e. With little<br />

deforestation, Balikpapan could reduce its forest loss only slightly, but it could reforest 22,600 ha<br />

as well as some potentially critical forest lands; these efforts would yield 0.2 MtCO2e. Balikpapan<br />

should also work with Pertamina to encourage investment in energy efficiency and reduced flaring,<br />

which could yield additional reductions by 0.3 MtCO2e. Beyond these efforts, Balikpapan could<br />

conduct a further assessment of transportation and power initiatives, such as moving to improved<br />

combustion engines for vehicles, enhanced public transport, and higher energy efficiency<br />

standards for buildings to match its developed world emissions profile.<br />

Balikpapan would benefit from the potential GDP initiatives outlined for <strong>East</strong> <strong>Kalimantan</strong>.<br />

A revival in the oil and gas industry as well as development of Coal Bed Methane would benefit<br />

the city as it is the hub for oil and gas services. Furthermore, given its port, airport, and large<br />

population, Balikpapan is a natural home for downstream industries. For example, the city already<br />

hosts more than 50 plywood and furniture companies and could benefit from a larger downstream<br />

forest products industry.
