Located in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, the Lahendong Geothermal Power Plant consists of six units, with Units 5 and 6 commissioned in 2016, each boasting a capacity of 20 MW. These units play a crucial role in providing clean, renewable energy, contributing significantly to the region's electricity supply. The project aligns with Indonesia’s goal of leveraging geothermal energy, a resource in which the country is a global leader, ranking second in the world for installed geothermal capacity (Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk) (Global Energy Monitor).

This project not only taps into the Earth's geothermal resources to generate clean electricity but also plays a pivotal role in the global carbon market. With its certification from the Sistem Registri Nasional Pengendalian Perubahan Iklim (SRN PPI), the Lahendong project adheres to stringent regulations and standards set by Indonesia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry (LHK).
At Fairatmos, our mission is to support carbon projects that embody integrity and transparency. By backing the Lahendong Geothermal Power Plant Project, we align with one of Indonesia’s pioneering programs, the Sertifikat Pengurangan Emisi - Gas Rumah Kaca (SPE-GRK). This project is instrumental in setting standards for carbon reduction initiatives. Our collaboration with PGE emphasizes our commitment to fostering a robust carbon market that complies with environmental regulations. Companies such as Think Policy and Bobobox have already recognized the importance of supporting Lahendong's carbon credits, further validating the project's role in driving sustainable change in Indonesia.
Carbon credit purchases by Think Policy
One of the core values at Fairatmos is transparency. We believe that our customers should be well-informed about the impact of their carbon credit purchases. Therefore, we provide continuous updates on the progress and outcomes of the Lahendong project. This ongoing communication not only builds trust but also demonstrates our commitment to accountability in the carbon market.
The Lahendong geothermal project not only contributes to the local electricity supply but also supports broader environmental and social goals. By harnessing geothermal energy, the project helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as affordable and clean energy (Goal 7), responsible consumption and production (Goal 12), climate action (Goal 13), and life on land (Goal 15) (Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk) (Think GeoEnergy - Geothermal Energy News).
