We were grateful to be invited to give the first keynote at the inaugural bioenergy track of the annual Asia Clean Energy Summit.

‍

We shared our experience of practical pathways to scale Southeast Asia’s role in global decarbonization through inclusive, circular bioeconomy models grounded in our region's understanding of Gotong Royong - mutual aid and friendship.

‍

In Arukah's experience, abundant agricultural biomass can be harnessed effectively to cut emissions and advance inclusive growth, without compromising food security. We also had the opportunity to share how our proprietary AI and computer vision-enabled digital tracking enables high-integrity verification and access to global markets, including a first in market computer vision tracking system for biochar plants.

‍

Arukah's core focus on poverty alleviation, with a first in market 50% carbon revenue share to farmers for investment grade biochar and biogas projects has unlocked both policy support and reliable biomass supply - and increasingly global partnerships.

‍

Our conviction is the SE Asian, Gotong Royong approach will be key to unlocking the circular bioeconomy at scale - watch this space!

‍

Thank you to the organisers and the very expert audience for an engaging dialogue.
