Hello Mr. William. Thank you for your question.
I choose the topic because carbon tax has already taken place in Indonesia.
Currently, the carbon tax regulation is implemented for electricity generation
companies. The, next focus of the regulation will be applicable for manufacturing
companies.
Indeed, the government has a commitment to reduce GHG emission. To motivate
companies to reduce their GHG emission, the government intend to impose
carbon tax for the over limit carbon allowed to be produced by the company.
This carbon tax has implication for manufacturing companies. They may be
exposed to the competitiveness problem.
On one side, the government has a target to reduce GHG emission, and on the
other side, the government should keep manufacturing companies maintaining
their competitiveness. Furthermore, there is still rare research focusing on carbon
tax for manufacturing companies. This study therefore intend to examine the
effect of carbon tax and carbon emission reduction at the carbon tax level of
Rp30 per Kg CO2e.
