Indonesia carbon project league table

This KarbonLens league table orders the supplied Indonesian carbon projects by credits issued, using only the exact issued-credit figures in the project facts. The result is a compact view of where issuance scale currently sits: large peat and biodiversity conservation projects remain the benchmark, while established hydro and geothermal assets form a substantial middle field.

Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project is the clear leader in this ordered set, with 5657651 tCO2e issued. Katingan Peatland Restoration and Conservation Project follows with 3559014 tCO2e, and Sumatra Merang Peatland Project (SMPP) stands at 2638073 tCO2e. The upper field therefore remains anchored in forest, peatland and biodiversity conservation, where large landscapes and long-running verification histories can translate into high cumulative issuance.

The next cluster shows how power-sector projects continue to matter for Indonesia’s voluntary-carbon supply. 82 MW Lau Renun Hydro Power Plant, North Sumatra records 2602672 tCO2e issued, sitting close to Sumatra Merang in the ordering. 210 MW Musi Hydro Power Plant, Bengkulu follows at 1871616 tCO2e, while 50 MW Sipansihaporas Hydro Power Plant, North Sumatra records 1687679 tCO2e. Capacity Upgrade of Gunung Salak Geothermal Power Plant Project, Indonesia adds 1611746 tCO2e, and Wayang Windu Phase 2 Geothermal Power Project stands at 1451189 tCO2e. This keeps hydro and geothermal firmly visible below the nature-based leaders.

The lower end of the table is still commercially relevant, but the gap in issuance scale is evident from the exact project lines. MedcoEnergi Associated Gas Recovery and Utilization Project has 492803 tCO2e issued, while the mangrove restoration and coastal greenbelt protection project in Aceh and North Sumatra records 397071 tCO2e. These entries broaden the technology and ecosystem mix, but their issued-credit counts sit well below the largest peatland, biodiversity, hydro and geothermal projects in the supplied field.

For the Indonesian market, the signal is a two-track supply profile. Mature nature-based projects provide the largest issuance references, supported by established renewable-power assets that add depth across the field. At the same time, smaller gas recovery and mangrove-linked issuance points to a wider pipeline of project types that may matter for buyers seeking differentiated co-benefits, locations and methodologies rather than only the largest available credit lines.
