20. Half of the reduction (15%) has to be achieved by the year 2005. In the following, all reduction targets refer to the year 2020 compared with the reference year 1990, with half the reduction to be achieved in 2005.
21. However, one has to state that the partition into only two georaphic regions, Java/Bali and the remaining part of Indonesia, is only a rough approximation to the real circumstances with Indonesia including more than 6500 inhabited islands.
22. When analysing the model results, only measures related to the energy sector (supply side and demand side options) as well as afforestation options are taken into account.
23. For instance, 30% transaction costs (with reference to the production costs of JI/CDM projects) for low reduction targets in the Russian energy system, lead to a doubling of the reduction cost compared with the case where transaction costs are not considered.
