Jakarta — Accurate emission monitoring technology and credible data are critical for balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability, said Greenteams Co-founder and CEO Wilson Sutarko during a cross-sector discussion on Indonesia’s industrial decarbonisation roadmap.
“Industry needs a strong foundation to transform. Accurate emission monitoring technology and credible data are the key to ensuring growth goes hand in hand with sustainability. This also opens space for innovation and strengthens industrial resilience in the future,” Sutarko said in a statement on Thursday, September 18.
The event, titled “Peta Jalan Dekarbonisasi Industri di Indonesia: Strategi Menuju Net Zero 2050,” or “Roadmap for Industrial Decarbonization in Indonesia: Strategy Towards Net Zero 2050,” was hosted at President University Convention Center in Cikarang, bringing together government representatives, academics, community leaders, and industry players. Co-organised by Greenteams, Jababeka Industrial Estate, and Ecoxyztem, the forum underscored the industry’s pivotal role in Indonesia’s energy transition. Industry accounts for over 40 per cent of national energy consumption and contributed 17.5 per cent to GDP in the first quarter of 2025, the group cited.
Speakers highlighted both the opportunities and challenges in the transition. Pintoko Aji of the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) described the decarbonisation roadmap as “not only a demand but also an opportunity” for industry to become more efficient and competitive. Novita Natalia, Co-founder of Bicara Udara, emphasised that clean air benefits productivity and public health, urging the use of monitoring data to advocate for stronger policies.
Bekasi’s regional government also emphasised the importance of collaboration. Representing the regent, local industry head Kustanto Dwi Purnomo said the area could become a model for a low-emission industry, with benefits extending beyond competitiveness to community well-being.
