New York, Nov. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reportlinker.com announces the release of the “Food Authenticity Global Market Report 2022: Ukraine-Russia War Impact” – https://www.reportlinker.com/p06365030/?utm_source =GNW
EMSL Analytical Inc., Romer Labs Diagnostic GmbH and Genetic ID NA Inc.

The global food authenticity market is expected to grow from $6.76 billion in 2021 to $7.35 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The Russian-Ukrainian war has disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions against several countries, a spike in commodity prices and supply chain disruptions, affecting many markets around the world. The food authenticity market is expected to reach $9.58 billion in 2026 with a CAGR of 6.8%.

The food authenticity market consists of the sale of food authenticity services by entities (organizations, independent traders and partnerships) that are used to reveal the identity or purity of food and food products. Food authenticity means an accurate and appropriate representation of the food and its ingredients to the customer (whether another food company or the end consumer).

A food is considered genuine or authentic if the food or its contents match the original condition and label information. Food authenticity gives consumers value for money and increases their overall level of trust in food.

The main types of testing targeted at food authenticity are meat speciation, false labeling, adulteration testing, country of origin, and aging. and economic reasons.

The different food tests include meat and meat products, dairy and milk products, cereals, grains and legumes, processed foods and others. The technology involved is based on polymerase chain reaction, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, isotope method, immunoassay/Elisa-based, and others.

North America was the largest region in the food authenticity market in 2021. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period.

Regions covered in the Food Authenticity market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle- East and Africa.

Rise in food fraud is expected to propel the growth of the food authenticity market in the future. Food fraud, like food defense, falls under food protection.

Both can be economically motivated, but the goal of food fraud is monetary gain, while the goal of food defense is to harm through any type of intentional and malicious adulteration or economic disruption, and is often motivated by ideological considerations. Food authenticity is a positive way to address the problem of food fraud.

It is a process that proves whether a food or food ingredient is original or authentic and can be verified as such. For example, in June 2022, an annual operation against food fraud coordinated by Interpol, an intergovernmental organization based in Austria, and Europol, a government agency based in the Netherlands, announced that from December 2020 to June 2021, 15,451 tonnes of illegal items worth 55 million dollars (53.8) million euros were collected in 72 countries. Compared to the previous operation carried out by Europol, named OPSON IX, which covered the same period from 2019 to 2020, the increase was 28% and 16% respectively. Hence, growing food fraud is driving the growth of the food authenticity market.

New product innovations are a key trend gaining popularity in the food authenticity market. Major companies operating in the food authenticity industry are focusing on developing new cutting-edge technologies to gain a competitive advantage.

For example, in February 2021, HEBE LIFE, a British nutricosmetics and rejuvenating supplement company, launched Eltronis’ cloud-based software solution, called Engage.Eltronis is a specialized and secure printing company based in Romania.

With Engage, marketers will have a simple yet complex tool to connect their products to the internet through consumers’ smartphones. Engage is meant to help brands fend off knockoffs.

Eltronis states that the design of the HEBE LIFE label contains various security components that make it impossible to duplicate, while the material allows it to be effectively attached to the supplement packaging.

In March 2021, ALS, an Australia-based company that provides testing, inspection, certification and verification services, acquired Investiga Group for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ALS would serve as a platform to enhance ALS’ leadership and footprint in the and expand its offering to its clients as part of its strategic growth plan for non-cyclical businesses.

Investiga Group is a Brazil-based company that specializes in sensory studies, consumer studies, pharmaceutical and food industries.

The countries covered in the Food Authenticity market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea South, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Comment

Michelle Singletary takes time off for the holidays. In his absence, we offer this updated column from his archives, which originally aired November 26, 2019.

When you’re in debt, the responsible thing to do is to ignore the pressure to give. Remove, as best you can, the misguided guilt that love comes wrapped in a pretty box with a red bow.

Of course, that’s easier said than done, isn’t it?

You have been brainwashed to give until it hurts, even if it means delaying debt repayment.

This was the predicament faced by a Virginia couple whose situation can be linked to anyone deeply in debt and who are also struggling to figure out how to withdraw their donations.

“I have two young children and I should at least get them some presents under the tree,” the woman wrote. “My husband and I have $62,000 in credit card debt. We are working with a debt management service to erase it in three years. It’s hard, I’m not going to lie, but I’m worried about what to say to people about not returning gifts. Any advice?”

Before answering, I needed a bit of context. How old are the children? How do you end up with so much credit card debt?

More Debt, Higher Fees: Credit Card Borrowers Face Rising Charges

Much of the debt was accumulated after the woman lost her job during the Great Recession. It took him a year and a half to find a new one. Almost everything was on credit — rent, utilities, groceries, she said.

There were wedding expenses, followed by child care expenses for their two children.

“Then there were more living expenses, bad choices, impulse buying and retail therapy,” she said. “I tried to consolidate my debt into one credit card with a lower interest rate, but the fine print, which I didn’t read until later, said it had to be paid off within 12 months. , which was not the case. Over the years, more and more balance transfers, in addition to purchases, have pushed the total amount of the credit card out of control.

So here they are now trying to arrange their finances.

“I’m working overtime and doing the best I can,” she wrote. “My goal is to help my family find a better place in life, not to follow the Joneses.”

Special occasions — birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other gift-giving holidays — make it difficult to stick to a debt repayment plan.

How to Survive Holiday Shopping

“Some people are expecting presents,” the mom wrote. “I don’t want it to be too awkward when I hand them homemade cookies. I tried to lay the groundwork and tell them that we are saving money this year and not to expect too much, but of course the expectations are there nonetheless. We tried this last year, and they were disappointed, and the discussion about our gift choice was frowned upon.

Since the couple were working on paying off the debt, I focused on what to say when you can’t give the way you want.

First, let’s talk about what I offered to do for their children, who were 7 and 20 months old.

For the baby, you do not need to buy anything, because he will probably be happy to open boxes. When my kids were toddlers, I searched for games, toys, and stuffed animals they didn’t play with that were buried in the bottom of their toy bins or hidden at the top of their closets. I wrapped up these items and put them under the tree.

Yes, I did that. (All adults now, my kids still like to joke about it.) But, seriously, who remembers what they had at 2?

For an older child, just buy him a few things – with money. Pick one important thing she wants that isn’t too expensive. I also suggested that if they are having a family reunion, wait and open all the presents at the same time. This way the kids get all their presents at once, which will help you feel less guilty for not giving them a lot of items.

This brings me to relatives. Own your financial truth.

Credit card debt rises as inflation pushes Americans to borrow more

Be honest about crippling debt. You don’t have to share any details, but let people know that you’re trying to be fiscally responsible and, until further notice, you can’t afford to exchange gifts. You may be surprised at how many friends and family members feel relieved because they, too, are struggling.

There is always the possibility that you will be pushed back. Ignore this. If you have a lot of credit card debt, you can’t afford to worry about other people getting offended if you don’t get them a shirt they won’t like anyway.

Holiday Shoppers, Avoid Store Credit Cards

Your debt is your priority – don’t try to please an adult acting like a child.

Don’t let your emotions lead you to derail your commitment to living within your means and reducing your responsibilities.

Whatever the celebration, give yourself the gift of financial stability by staying focused on paying off that debt. Also, as I tell people all the time, it should be about your presence, not your gifts.

Visit Durango, the region’s main tourist board, is introducing a new format for its annual festivities called Annual Holiday Station Celebration, which includes events such as the famous Singing With Santa at Buckley Park scheduled for Friday.

The program is Visit Durango’s second new program launched this year. Spoketober, a collection of cycling-themed events through October, was the tourism board’s first new program this year and has been a big hit, said Visit Durango spokeswoman Rachel Welsh.

During Spoketober, Visit Durango partnered with Scott Bicycles for a three-day charity event called Share the Love Cycle at Buckley Park. People were asked to donate bikes and bike parts, which were then donated to the Navajo Nation, she said. A total of 80 bikes were collected and donated.

“It was so cool,” she said. “It blew our minds and we had a big group ride from the Fort to Buckley Park to kick off the event, and it was really cool.”

She said the premier holiday resort celebration is intended to help businesses and organizations that want to organize holiday events and have high attendance by creating a “united front” to showcase local activities and the mix of diverse cultures in Durango.

“Durango is already so special during the holidays, it just helps amplify that and allows more people to participate than in previous years,” she said.

Durango Trails, for example, is hosting an Ugly Christmas Sweater Fat Bike Ride on December 17 that consists of a group ride through the La Plata Canyon. Welsh said Durango Trails doesn’t run fat bike rides often, and the new program is a way to raise awareness of the planned activity.

“Fat biking is a cool recreational activity that isn’t generally popular,” she said. “(We) just work with them to create the event and give them our support.”

Welsh said people often find organizing and hosting holiday activities a daunting task. Visit Durango offers marketing consultations to show potential event planners the ropes, tips and tricks of social media marketing to boost organizations’ reach and make Durango’s holiday celebrations the best it can be.

She said it was too late to access the printed calendar materials, but the printouts include QR codes that link to the Visit Durango website where the events are listed in full, so organizations can still submit their festivities. holidays, their commercial offers and their special offers.

Welsh said Visit Durango wants the resort to become a new local tradition.

Other events in the annual holiday resort celebration roundup include the Polar Express train, which began Friday and will run through January 1; Christmas Night on December 2; and the New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade and Fireworks on December 31.

The objective of each player in the game is to correctly guess a five-letter word. Each day a new five-letter word is chosen, which players try to guess in six tries.

After each guess, each letter is marked in green, yellow or grey: green means the letter is correct and in the correct position, yellow means it is in the answer but not in the correct position, while gray indicates that it is not in the correct position. answer at all.

That’s it. It’s so simple.

It can also mean – to make (something) ready for use or action or to prepare (someone) for a situation, usually by providing them with relevant information.

(THE CONVERSATION) Unusual Courses is an occasional series from The Conversation US highlighting unconventional approaches to teaching.

Course title:

“For the Love of Books”

What gave you the idea for the course?

The idea for the class came from seeing University of Richmond students interact with rare books and archival collections. Their curiosity about historical texts was not just about how materials were made and used, but also how these particular volumes survived and became part of the university’s collection.

The course is offered as a first-year seminar. It is designed to focus on a specific topic while deepening students’ understanding of the world and of themselves as they develop stronger research and communication skills.

What does the course explore?

The many ways the word “book” can be defined in the digital age. For most students, books are homework or reading for pleasure, but I ask them to explore the concept of books in depth by analyzing books through four themes: purpose, content, technology, and art.

For Books as Objects, we examine books through their anatomy and structure, including paper and material form. Students then explore books as content, including how books are written, sold, read, collected, and, at times, banned.

Changes in the technology of book production – the printing press in Europe after 1450 and the evolution of the digital book at the dawn of the new millennium – have brought new ways of accessing information. Technology like DNA sampling from older books has helped researchers explore where they were made by studying samples of parchment hides. New virtual and augmented reality technologies allow readers to experience books in new ways.

Why is this course relevant now?

When students focus on the evolution of the transmission of information over time, they use books as a lens for social and cultural analysis. By exploring books as a communication technology, students develop a better understanding of how books have long influenced literacy, economics, technology, art, and culture. In doing so, they also learn about the stories, traditions and work involved in creating and disseminating information.

What is the essential lesson of the course?

By choosing to focus on the history of the books, the lesson hopefully is that what may seem like something simple can often be profoundly complex, far more meaningful and impactful than what the students might expect. For example, there has been a recent increase in requests to ban books from schools and libraries. By exploring the long history of book censorship, students can better understand the context of current events within this larger story.

Students also gain first-hand experience with historical forms of printing. For example, students have the opportunity to hand type, print in typography, and create different types of books as part of hands-on classroom work.

What materials does the course have?

• Tom Mole, “The Secret Life of Books”

• Amaranth Borsuk, “The Book”

• Melissa M. Bender and Karma Waltonen, “Who Is Your Source? Writer’s Guide to Evaluating Effectively and Using Resources Ethically »

What will the course prepare students for?

Books are physical artifacts that connect today’s students to people of long ago and distant lands, but books are also agents of change that have influenced societies and cultures for centuries. Students will be able to trace the history of the book and the exchange of information and ideas over time in a way that helps them understand both the historical context and how it continues to shape their world today .

In a stunning turn of events, The Walt Disney Co. says that Bob Chapeck will step down as CEO, with Bob Iger returns to the head of the company.

Disney’s board of directors announced the decision Sunday night.

“We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including guiding the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic,” said Susan Arnold, Chairman of the Board of Directors. , in a press release. “The Board of Directors has concluded that as Disney enters an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely positioned to lead the company through this pivotal time.”

Chapek had just signed a new multi-year contract in June, after speculation following the ousting of TV chief Peter Rice earlier that month prompted the board to issue a notable public statement backing the CEO after the move.

Iger even acknowledged in an email to Disney employees on Sunday that he returned “with an incredible sense of gratitude and humility — and, I must admit, a bit of amazement.”

While Iger will return to his old role, the board also clarified that his new term will be temporary.

Iger “has agreed to serve as CEO of Disney for two years, with a mandate from the Board of Directors to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and to work closely with the Board of Directors to develop a successor to lead the company at the end of his term,” the board said. The revival of “who will be Iger’s successor?” The question is one that is sure to be hotly debated, given that much of the previous decade has seen a flurry of executives speculated as a possibility, only to walk out or be ignored.

Iger stepped down as CEO in February 2020, handing over the reins to Chapek, who previously led the company’s theme parks and consumer products division. He continued to serve as the company’s executive chairman, stepping down from that position just 11 months ago. (He has since found a part-time position at a venture capital firm, Thrive Capital, as a partner and was working on a follow-up book to his 2019 tome. Ride of a lifetime.)

Of course, as Arnold noted in his statement, the novel coronavirus pandemic has taken its toll on the business, shutting down its theme parks and cruise ships, and shutting down nearly all film and television production. However, it has also accelerated the growth of streaming, with Chapek leaning into streaming in company reorganization focus on digital.

But his tenure has also been difficult, marked by controversy and distraction. From the aggressive campaign against Marvel star Scarlett Johansson that resulted in a colony paying too much for Black Widowto Disney’s answer (or lack of) to Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Chapek faced a wide range of public misfires during his relatively brief tenure at the top of the company.

But in addition to the public controversies, Disney’s business has also begun to falter in recent quarters.

Chapek announced on November 11 that the company would freeze hiring and halt all non-essential travel, with layoffs likely to follow as his management team sought to cut costs.

And while Disney wins fast clip subscriptions – some 235 million across Disney+, ESPN and Hulu – the company’s streaming losses have continued to grow, reaching nearly $1.5 billion in its most recent quarter, making it all the more difficult to hit its target profitability.

Iger, a businessman since joining ABC in 1974, led the network after it was acquired by Disney in 1995 and was elevated to CEO of Disney in 2005, succeeding Michael Eisner. Although his rise within the company was due to his keen business acumen, he developed a reputation for having a keen sense of taste and creative vision, skills he continued to put to good use after stepped down as CEO in 2020.

Iger pushed Disney to new heights by acquiring Pixar for $7.4 billion in 2006, Marvel for $4 billion in 2009 and Lucasfilm for $4 billion in 2012, creating a powerhouse that in 2019 saw the company exceed $10 billion in worldwide box office sales. In the same year, Disney completed the unprecedented $71.3 billion acquisition of Fox – including studio 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, FX Networks and National Geographic – creating a global content powerhouse.

While Iger has built a reputation as a talent lover, Chapek’s reputation among creatives took a hit in July 2021 when the dispute with Johansson over the day-and-date streaming release of Black Widow became public. The star has filed a lawsuit claiming the studio is sacrificing its box office potential to exploit Disney+.

Their different styles and approaches led to something of an oil and water relationship between the two Bobs. As THRby Kim Masters reported last yearIn what was to be his last official Disney board retreat with the company, Iger implored everyone in the room to focus on the virtues of creativity and talent.

Disney’s market capitalization was around $55 billion when Iger took over in 2005, rose to $260 billion in January 2020 and fell to $167 billion on Friday.

“I am extremely optimistic for the future of this great company and delighted that the board has asked me to return as CEO,” Iger said in a statement. “Disney and its incomparable brands and franchises hold a special place in the hearts of so many people around the world, and especially in the hearts of our employees, whose dedication to this company and its mission is inspiring. I am deeply honored to be asked to once again lead this remarkable team, with a clear mission focused on creative excellence to inspire generations through unparalleled and bold storytelling.

Iger told employees in his memo that he would address the company on Monday, along with other top executives.

“I know this company has asked so much of you over the past three years, and these times certainly remain quite challenging, but as you’ve heard me say before, I’m an optimist, and if I’ve learned one thing from my years at Disney is that even in the face of uncertainty — perhaps especially in the face of uncertainty — our employees and Cast Members achieve the impossible,” he wrote.

If you’ve taken a trip to the Centennial Village Museum, chances are you know of the museum’s Print Shop where visitors can step back in time to learn about the art of printmaking and even take home them a freshly squeezed sample or two.

The Han dynasty in China was one of the first civilizations to create and implement printmaking, according to Tribeca Printworks. The earliest known example is a woodcut on silk dating from around 206 BC to 220 AD

From there, the art form went through several advancements, including the creation of printing, photocopying, and digital printing machines.

While almost anyone can fire up a computer and create a print, Johanna Mueller and Dan Scott, owners of Wonderhand Studios in downtown Greeley, are more interested in bringing back the old version of printmaking through hand-carved blocks. hand, a manual inking and an arm. – motorized presses.

The studio is located just behind the wall of the “Courage” mural on 7th Street, and walking past the darkly colored mural through the black door into the brightly lit studio is like walking into Narnia.

Natural light from two large skylights filters down to several antique presses that rest on the studio floor next to large work tables and shelves lined with all sorts of different colored inks.

“For many years we collected this heavy machinery, and we saw this place and felt in love,” Mueller said. “It gave us this warehouse space where we do engraving. I think people are really surprised because you don’t find this amount of equipment or this caliber of work everywhere.

Since it’s not really common for anyone to have large, extremely heavy printing presses lying around in their garage or basement, Wonderhand Studios offers artists access to these unique machines in a welcoming space.

The studio’s Little John press dates back to around 1900 and weighs 1,600 pounds with 10-inch solid steel rollers, Scott explained. As you turn the wheel, the plate slowly moves the block under the roller to apply pressure, transferring the ink to the paper. The press applies over 1,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.

“Every press has a story,” Mueller joked.

Before using the machines, customers should be “checked out” to make sure they know how to properly – and safely – use the presses as well as how to create what they envision.

“They basically spend a day with me on whatever press they want, and then they can come in and use the store whenever they want,” Mueller explained.

Although the studio has a small collection of blocks, artists are encouraged to create their own blocks for their work. Wonderhand Studios also offers a variety of fonts in different sizes and styles to use for lettering projects.

“We have a lot of these older types of fonts, so you get these really nice typefaces and all kinds of good stuff,” Mueller said.

Wonderhand also has two small studios inside the main area that artists can rent, as well as a loft where Mueller makes his own works. The couple are working to expand the space at the back of the studio into a “dirty” workspace for carpentry and welding projects.

Mueller was introduced to printmaking when she was a student in art school.

“I had loved them before I even knew what they were,” she said. “And I had the opportunity to take a printmaking class and I fell in love. Printmaking is all about the press and the printing process, and it’s such a shared art. It creates a community very quickly .

“You ask an engraver how he did this and he’ll sit with you for four hours and make sure you get everything.”

The art of printmaking is making a big comeback with conventions, art shows, printmaking demonstrations and workshops taking place across the United States, Mueller said.

“There’s value in being able to do something,” Scott added. “Artists are generally open to something new and if they don’t have that background, it’s not impossible to learn. So we always encourage people to give it a try, as it broadens what their work can look like and who they can reach.

Wonderhand Studios offers three different membership levels – Studio Angel, Artist Member and Workstudy.

Studio Angel membership is $20 per person per month and entitles community members to receive 10% off workshops, the choice of an annual printed giveaway, and the opportunity to support other artists.

Artist membership is $125 per person per month and includes 10% off workshops, First Friday portfolio pop-up, flexible hours and use of equipment, and participation in Open events Studio.

Workstudy membership is $90 per person per month and includes 10% off workshops, attendance at Open Studio events, and 4 hours of studio time with 4 hours of in-store help time.

The studio also offers direct print options ranging from $75 to $300 depending on the time required and if instructor assistance is needed. Students receive a reduced rate of $10 per hour up to 12 hours per month.

Access to the studio is 24/7 and members receive a special code to enter. For people wanting to drop by the studio to check it out, Mueller suggests contacting them ahead of time to make sure someone is there to greet them and show them around the studio.

The studio will be hosting a Holiday Open House from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 3 for community members of all ages to come see the studio, learn about printmaking, and check out some of the amazing works created by local artists. .

Mueller and Scott are also working with the Tointon Gallery for a printmaking exhibit featuring works by Colorado artists.

“Engraving is in the community and has been for years. It’s really fun to have an alternate space where the public can come,” Mueller said. “Come print what you want to print and we’ll help you get it done.”

Wonderhand Studios is located at 721 7th St., Unit B, Greeley. Parking is city owned and licensed only, but there is a 2 hour parking lot located along 8th Avenue and 7th Street.

Comment

Future generations may remember Elon Musk for his self-destructive $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc., his vile attack on a cave diver trying to save a junior football team, or his bizarre and disturbing interventions in the Ukrainian conflict.

There is, however, one solid achievement that will be hard to take away from him. Building Tesla Inc. at a time when few thought electric cars were remotely viable, he was a catalyst that transformed the global auto industry as dramatically as Henry Ford or Eiji Toyoda.

It’s a decent way to think of the $20 billion deal announced in Bali this week to put Indonesia on a path to net-zero emissions by 2050.

By any stretch of the imagination, the plan – known as the Just Energy Transition Partnership, or JETP, and intended to be funded 50-50 by a consortium of wealthy countries and banks from the developed world – is a moonstroke. It would cap emissions from the Indonesian power sector at 290 million metric tons by 2030, not much more than the 258 million tons of pollution in 2019. Renewable energy generation would rise to 34% of the total by the same date, compared to 18% currently. , while coal-fired power plants would retire earlier.

If successful, the project will show that the energy transition is possible even where the natural and political barriers to decarbonization are strongest. If it fails, attitudes toward swift climate action could be tainted for years to come.

It is crucial to pull Indonesia out of its current resource-intensive trajectory. The world’s fourth most populous country, with 276 million people, is also its biggest coal exporter. Although its current emissions are relatively minor – somewhere between those of Canada and South Korea, and less than a third of China’s per capita – left unchecked, they could increase significantly as the country grows. urbanizes and grows rich.

Yet Indonesia’s natural barriers to switching to renewables are among the highest in the world. Strung across more than 17,000 islands along the calmed equator, wind speeds are among the lowest in the world. The solar potential is also mixed, comparable to that of central Europe.

The topography makes things worse. Java, with a population larger than Japan and almost five times the density of the UK, is almost devoid of decent conditions for large-scale renewable energy production. The best resources are on the islands of Sumatra and Sulawesi, but to get that electricity to the people who need it would require underwater transmission lines stretching hundreds of miles, which would probably add 10 to $20 to the cost of each megawatt hour of renewable electricity.

For countries representing 90% of electricity consumption, renewables are now the cheapest source of new generation. Indonesia is an important exception: new coal-fired power at $73/MWh is more affordable than solar at $83/MWh and wind at $136/MWh, even before these transmission costs are paid. Putting fuel into an existing coal plant is even cheaper.

Faced with all this, the power of the national coal industry. In rich countries and even in emerging market giants like China and India, coal has not been very competitive with renewables for years. The development of wind and solar power would be even faster if regulatory inertia did not tip the balance in favor of fossil fuels.

This is not the case in Indonesia. Its vast surface mines produce low-sulphur coal that is cheap to burn, especially considering the minimal shipping cost to home kilns. Its plants are young, with an average age of 12 years. The utility PLN is guaranteed a price-capped fuel supply, while take-or-pay contracts mean coal-fired megawatts must be paid for whether they are used or not. Much of the cost of the JETP will likely come from simply dismantling these rules and compensating the PLN for the policy reversal.

Even after such reforms, renewables do not seem competitive with other countries. BloombergNEF estimates that falling PV prices will still not see the median solar power plant undermine existing coal-fired power plants for a decade, which is already happening in much of the world. The wind won’t make it this side of 2050.

In the worst-case scenario, the JETP could provide a slush fund to shut down generators that would pull out anyway due to gross overcapacity on the Indonesian mainline, with enough exit clauses for existing dirty practices to continue. Having short term goals will help to quickly assess if the plan is on track, but we need a lot more detail before we can judge.

That’s important, because the world is often driven by just-like stories told between overworked executives and politicians, rather than the most sober analysis. The popular meme that ESG investing caused this year’s energy crisis seems to have generated more headlines than policy reversals. If the JETP fails, the argument that the energy transition plans are little more than vast boondoggles might be more persuasive.

Already, there are signs that South Africa’s transition plan, in some ways a model for Indonesia, is collapsing amid local coal politics. That could jeopardize the biggest prize on the horizon, India’s trillion-dollar power sector transition launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year. Further still is China, which burns more than half of the world’s coal and could see the JETP as a model for renewing its own generation fleet.

These concerns are all valid. And yet Indonesia – rich in battery materials, biofuels and workers eager to assemble the supply chain of the global energy transition – has much to gain from transforming itself into a green superpower. If the JETP succeeds, it will have done what the Tesla Roadster did 14 years ago: show a skeptical public that the potential of the energy transition is limited only by the scale of our ambitions. It’s a bet to take.
