Ecobiz.asia — Indonesia recorded strong interest in its carbon market at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, with transactions and purchase intentions for Indonesian carbon credits reaching 2.75 million tonnes of CO₂ during the Indonesia Pavilion events held from Nov. 10–21, 2025, the Indonesia Carbon Exchange (IDXCarbon) said.
The surge in demand highlights growing global attention to Indonesia’s carbon projects, both those already listed on the exchange and others preparing for issuance.
At the pavilion, IDXCarbon showcased a wide range of technology-based and nature-based projects representing the country’s carbon credit potential. The projects drew interest from energy companies, financial institutions, consultants and international entities seeking to participate in climate mitigation through Indonesian carbon credits.
Major institutions expressing interest or conducting transactions included TBS Energi Utama Tbk, Value Network Ventures, South Pole, Bank Mandiri, CIMB Niaga, Maybank Indonesia, Pertamina, Pertamina Patra Niaga, Sucofindo, and several others that requested anonymity. More than 20 domestic and foreign institutions engaged with Indonesian project developers.
Jeffrey Hendrik, Director of Business Development at the Indonesia Stock Exchange and operator of IDXCarbon, said the increasing demand reflects growing investor confidence in Indonesia’s carbon market. He emphasized that IDXCarbon aims to provide a transparent and accessible platform to support market expansion.
“IDXCarbon continues to facilitate carbon trading in Indonesia in a transparent and accessible manner to help drive the growth of the country’s carbon market,” Jeffrey said on Monday (Dec. 1, 2025).
Interest in Indonesian carbon units is supported by the diversity of available projects, spanning renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste management and forestry-based conservation. IDXCarbon said full project details are available through the exchange’s official channels. ***
