Halmahera Zero-Waste Renewable Energy and Biochar Project
Multiple Proponents · North Maluku · — ha
Halmahera Zero-Waste Renewable Energy and Biochar Project is a pipeline-stage initiative in North Maluku, stacking CDM small-scale AMS-I.F (renewable electricity) and AMS-III.E (methane avoidance via controlled combustion) with Verra's VM0044 biochar methodology. Converts organic waste into bioenergy plus biochar for agricultural soils. Sits in a region now dominated by nickel-driven deforestation.

Analyst briefing
Activities & scale The project bundles small-scale renewable electricity generation from biomass with pyrolysis-based biochar production, using agricultural residues (likely coconut and forestry waste, consistent with West Halmahera's ~33-35 million-coconut annual throughput documented by MENTARI's 1 MW biomass pilot 2). The zero-waste design channels residue streams into a single value chain: power for local loads, biochar as a soil amendment and carbon store. No published nameplate capacity or issuance forecast is available in public registries.
