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 highlighted the transformative power of Indonesia's carbon market. The session featured projects that convert environmental liabilities—such as industrial waste and logging concessions—into valuable climate assets. Presenters from the Waste and Forestry (FOLU) sectors demonstrated how high-integrity carbon projects can drive technological innovation, social equity, and biodiversity conservation.

Key Initiatives & Market Opportunities
1. Tackling Methane & Advancing Circular Economy (Waste Sector)
• Fairatmos presented a circular composting project for the palm oil industry, converting methane-emitting waste into organic fertilizer. The project emphasizes digital monitoring for data integrity and actively promotes gender equality by employing women in technical roles .
• Gree Energy, a recognized leader in agricultural methane reduction, showcased its biogas solutions for the food processing industry. With a track record of award-winning projects, they offer verified carbon credits and supply chain insetting models to help global corporations tackle Scope 3 emissions.
2. Pioneering Conservation Models (FOLU Sector)
• Belayan Peatland Project (Tirta Carbon Indonesia): Located in East Kalimantan, this project protects a critical 55,000-hectare peat dome. It introduces an innovative Dual-Fund Benefit Sharing Mechanism (Fixed + Floating funds), setting a new benchmark for fair and transparent community engagement in carbon projects .
• Sercova (PT Strata Pacific): Operating on Seram Island, Maluku, Sercova represents a major shift in land use by converting a 73,365-hectare active logging concession into a protected forest ("Log-to-Protect"). The project targets CCB Triple Gold certification, ensuring exceptional benefits for climate, community, and biodiversity, including the protection of endemic species .

Conclusion
The presentations underscored the depth and maturity of Indonesia's carbon project pipeline. By prioritizing high-integrity methodologies (such as Verra/VCS and SRN) and innovative social safeguards, these projects offer international buyers reliable pathways to meet their climate goals while contributing to the SDGs.
