About

A. Background

The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference-Belem (COP30/CMP20/CMA7) provides Indonesia with a significant opportunity to demonstrate its readiness and capability to participate in the global carbon trading system. With the theme "Accelerating Substantial Actions of Net Zero Achievement through Indonesia's High Integrity Carbon," the Indonesian Pavilion plans to showcase concrete projects, build stronger partnerships, and foster meaningful discussions among parties and partners involved in the carbon market. The "Seller Meets Buyer" event is specifically designed as a leading, business-focused platform to effectively connect carbon credit providers with those who threaten them.

IDXCarbon has been awarded as Carbon Positive Awards 2025 by Green Cross United Kingdom, thus the purpose of this session is to connect IDX-listed companies, IDX member companies, and users of carbon exchange services, which act as providers of high-quality carbon units, with potential buyers from around the world. These buyers can include international corporations, financial groups, global organizations, and governments seeking credibility in achieving their climate targets aligned with the SPEI/SRN/Indonesia Scheme. By providing a hosted space for presentations, live discussions, and individual meetings, this session seeks to create significant opportunities for sustainable agreements, joint projects, and alliances.

Crucially, this session focused on implementing the plan, rather than simply discussing potential outcomes. The ultimate goal was to achieve tangible business outcomes by providing the resources and support needed for broader and more inclusive international carbon trading. By focusing on implementation, this event ensured that Indonesia's engagement would result in measurable progress, stronger partnerships, and sustained collaboration with stakeholders worldwide.

Besides making transactions easier, the Seller Meet Buyer event also helps to create transparency, confidence in the market, and a shared understanding of how Indonesia’s carbon market works. It highlights Indonesia’s proactive steps to bring its own rules, policies, and private sector involvement into line with global standards under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. This alignment ensures that carbon credits issued by Indonesian organizations meet strict verification standards and truly help to reduce emissions.

Additionally, by making the Pavilion a center for sharing knowledge, exploring investment opportunities, and encouraging international teamwork, the session strengthens Indonesia’s broader climate diplomacy efforts. It emphasizes that Indonesia is dedicated not only to lowering its own emissions towards a low-carbon and climate resilience development, but also to taking a leading role in the growth of sustainable and trustworthy global carbon markets.

In conclusion, the Seller Meet Buyer event at COP30 is expected to produce clear business outcomes while improving Indonesia’s position in the international carbon market. By connecting sellers and buyers in a professional and transparent environment, the session will help turn climate goals into practical partnerships, promoting both global climate solutions and Indonesia’s long-term sustainable economic growth.

Key Messages

This session showcased the scalability and diversity of Indonesia's carbon market. Under the theme of high-integrity governance, the session featured three distinct project developers presenting verified solutions in the Energy, Waste, and Forestry (FOLU) sectors. The event highlighted how Indonesia is successfully monetizing climate action through technological innovation and strategic preservation, culminating in a significant international partnership agreement.

Key Initiatives & Market Opportunities
1. Decentralized Energy & Waste Management Two projects demonstrated the spectrum of waste-to-energy solutions available in Indonesia, ranging from household to industrial scale:
• Grassroots Impact (PT Biru Karbon Nusantara): The Indonesia Domestic Biogas Programme (IDBP) was presented as a prime example of community-based climate action. Certified by the Gold Standard, the project has deployed nearly 30,000 biodigesters, mitigating over 584,000 tCO2e. It offers buyers high-quality carbon credits with substantial co-benefits in poverty reduction and food security .
• Industrial Decarbonization (KIS Group): Moving to the industrial level, KIS Group showcased its BioCNG technology, which captures methane from palm oil liquid waste. As the first commercial BioCNG operator in ASEAN, KIS Group provides a scalable model for decarbonizing supply chains, actively supplying renewable gas to major off-takers like Unilever to replace fossil fuels .
2. Innovative Forest Conservation (Fairatmos) In the Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) sector, Fairatmos unveiled the Muara Teweh Conservation (MTC) project.
• Strategy: The project utilizes an "Improved Forest Management" (IFM) methodology to transition a 250,000-hectare active logging concession into a protected area ("Log-to-Protect"), effectively halting deforestation and biodiversity loss .
• Strategic Deal: A major highlight of the session was the signing of a Letter of Intent (LoI) between Fairatmos and South Pole. This partnership validates the project's integrity and signals strong demand from global carbon traders for Indonesian forest assets .

Conclusion
The session reinforced Indonesia's position as a hub for diverse, high-quality carbon projects. By offering verified solutions that span from rural biogas networks to massive forest conservation areas, Indonesia provides international investors with a wide array of instruments to meet their Net Zero targets while supporting sustainable development.
