Indonesia, Japan Advance Clean Energy Partnership and JCM Carbon Projects

Indonesia and Japan agreed to accelerate Joint Crediting Mechanism projects and expand cooperation on clean energy and low-carbon technologies. During a bilateral meeting between Indonesia’s EBTKE and Japan’s METI, the two sides discussed the Sarulla and Muaralaboh Unit 2 geothermal developments, the Legok Nangka waste-to-energy plant, the Green Ammonia Initiative in Aceh, sustainable aviation fuel, small- and medium-scale nuclear power, and carbon markets. They also expressed an intention to strengthen JCM implementation through potential carbon capture and storage projects and internationally recognized carbon trading. The meeting signals continued government support for mobilizing Japanese technology and investment for Indonesia’s energy transition. However, no new JCM project registration, credit issuance, financing commitment, implementation schedule or credit allocation was announced. The report also does not establish that the two named geothermal projects are themselves JCM projects. Any credits transferred internationally would still require authorization, appropriate accounting and corresponding adjustments under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
