I am a seasoned expert in GHG and Carbon Credit Management, with over 16 years of experience spanning climate change mitigation, carbon markets (CDM, VCS, VERRA, Gold Standard, GCC), and carbon trading. My expertise includes the development of Project Design Documents (PDDs), Monitoring Reports, and overseeing third-party verifications across multiple sectors, including Programmatic CDM activities under the UNFCCC and other voluntary carbon market mechanisms. I have extensive experience in Renewable Energy Project Development, covering Solar PV Power Plants, Hydroelectric Power Plants, Biogas/Biomass Power Plants, Waste-to-Energy (WtE), and Energy Efficient Cooling Systems. I assist clients through the entire project lifecycle—from securing Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with PLN to obtaining permits and licenses. Additionally, I specialize in the development of Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Solar PV Rooftop Projects and have successfully led the preparation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) proposals across sectors such as municipal solid waste management, renewable energy, and energy efficiency (e.g., chillers). My capabilities also include conducting Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), and preparing UKL/UPL reports to ensure project compliance and sustainability. Key areas of expertise: - Carbon Project Development & Verification (VERRA, Gold Standard, GCC, CDM) - Carbon Trading & Market Mechanisms - Renewable Energy Development (Solar PV, Hydro, Biogas, Biomass, WtE) - PPA Negotiation & Permitting - C&I Solar PV Rooftop Projects - GHG Accounting & Sustainability Certifications - ESIA, EIA, UKL/UPL Compliance - NAMA Development Passionate about advancing low-carbon solutions and supporting the transition to a net-zero economy across Southeast Asia and beyond.
