The main fossil fuels, produced and imported, in Indonesia are oil and gas. Oil supply, from domestic production and imported oil, amount to 68.3 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe); supply of gas is 64.6 mtoe. While coal is the largest fossil fuel produced in Indonesia at 248.8 mtoe, 83.7% of this is exported. Total consumption is 164.8 mtoe. Others (households, etc) take 43.3% (71.3 mtoe), followed by transport with 28.6% (47.2 mtoe). Indonesia is implementing policies to minimize the use of fossil fuels. For example, in the Sankey diagram, 58.3 mtoe of biofuels is produced (12.0% of the total 486.1 mtoe of total fuel supplied). Promoting other clean alternatives, such as solar and hydropower, and enforcing the clean technologies in coal production are also other ways of reducing emissions from fuels. On the other hand, improving public transport and encouraging people to use public instead of private transportation, lowers fuel consumption and emissions. For example, train travel is convenient and efficient, and many people take the train for long trips, leaving behind their cars, as shown in the picture which is taken from inside a train overlooking the parking lot in the station.
