Study Mission on Low-carbon Circular Technologies, Digital Carbon Credit Innovation, and Industry Collaboration Service Platform

Indonesia’s industrial decarbonization agenda makes this mission timely. Manufacturing accounted for 19.07% of GDP in 2025, while Indonesia’s Second NDC maintains the pathway toward net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner and strengthens carbon-pricing and GHG-management measures. The EU CBAM definitive regime, effective from January 2026, also increases the importance of credible emission measurement, low-carbon production, and traceable supply chains. The ROC therefore provides a relevant benchmark through its experience in circular materials, industrial R&D, smart manufacturing, environmental technologies, and carbon-market development.

The mission will combine enterprise, R&D, and institutional benchmarking in Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli. Participants will examine circular and bio-based materials, low-carbon processes, waste and biomass valorization, AI-enabled automation, smart manufacturing, environmental technologies, carbon markets, and digital carbon assets. Visits will include leading companies, research institutions, and technology centers, complemented by the APO COE on GP networking meeting on the Low-carbon Circular Technology Alliance and participation in the 2026 International Carbon Economy Research Forum.

Findings will be consolidated in the mission report, including at least one actionable recommendation specifying its relevance to Indonesia, adaptation and replication requirements, potential pilot projects or institutional follow-up, responsible stakeholders, and implementation considerations. The intended result is to translate benchmarking into practical collaboration and measurable GP improvements in Indonesia.
