Indonesia Energy Dialogue
This project sought to build greater bilateral trade and investment in Indonesia through bilateral collaboration on resources, mining, and energy standards.
Project Purpose
With 90 percent of global trade reliant on standards, there are opportunities for Australia and Indonesia to collaborate on areas of mutual interest to reinforce more sustainable outcomes for the green economy. This work would support Australia’s Blueprint for Trade and Investment with Indonesia which highlights the need for standards harmonisation in low emissions technologies in the energy mining sector.
Project Scope
The project included the following activities:
- Mapping existing relevant international standards related to resources, energy and mining sectors.
- Identifying opportunities for greater harmonisation in standards uptake, increased Australian and Indonesian participation on international technical committees at ISO and IEC, and opportunities for mentoring between Australian and Indonesian technical experts.
- A workshop to bring together government and industry stakeholders to collaborate on resources, energy, and mining sectors.
- Developing an Energy and Mining Standards Roadmap to document agreed next steps for Australia and Indonesia to reduce technical barriers to trade in the sectors.
Both SA and BSN are active members of both ISO and IEC. This project leveraged our longstanding bilateral relationship and provide the foundation on which Australia and Indonesia can build ongoing collaboration on standards and conformance work.
Project Outcomes
This project:
- Promoted greater awareness of how standards underpin current and future bilateral trade and investment in energy, resources, and low-emissions mining. This included areas such as mining safety and health, environmental protection, mining commodities, mining techniques, and other mutually identified priority sectors.
- Identified and enhanced market access and trade opportunities to support greater cooperation between Indonesian and Australian businesses by developing a roadmap for harmonisation of resources, energy and mining standards; and
- Strengthened the relationship between BSN, SA, DISR and MEMR, and fostered deeper collaboration and coordination across standards and conformance.
Please note this project was concluded in 2023
