Reducing Carbon Emissions through Electric Motorbikes
EcoSecurities Group Limited, in collaboration with PT Energi Selalu Baru (ESB), a subsidiary of PT NFC Indonesia Tbk, and MCASH Group, has embarked on an ambitious initiative to reduce carbon emissions through the distribution of electric motorcycles across Indonesia over the next five years. This programme is a key component of the Programme of Activity (PoA) and Voluntary Project Activity (VPA) developed by both parties, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-powered vehicles and improving air quality in the operational areas.
- Over 500,000 Volta electric motorcycles will be distributed across Indonesia.
- Expected to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 130,000 tons during the first five years.
- Commercial use of electric vehicles is encouraged, reducing ambient air pollution.
The VPA programme is designed to provide a framework for the distribution of electric vehicles, with the primary goal of promoting the use of low-emission vehicles and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality in Indonesia, aligning with the country’s national climate targets.
“EcoSecurities has utilised climate and carbon finance to drive global decarbonisation for nearly 30 years. The PoA and VPA activities will encourage the use of low-emission vehicles, which will reduce ambient air pollution generated by the use of each vehicle unit.” – Gina Lisdiani, Asia Pacific Commercial Manager from EcoSecurities
The distribution of electric motorcycles will be a crucial step towards reducing carbon emissions, with each vehicle unit expected to result in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The Volta electric motorcycles distributed through the Indonesia Sustainable Ride programme will be used for commercial purposes, with the expected outcome being a reduction of over 130,000 tons of CO2 during the first five years of implementation. EcoSecurities will provide their technical expertise and comprehensive outreach on carbon credits to support the growth of a sustainable electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia. This collaboration will contribute to achieving Indonesia’s national climate targets, as the country continues to work towards reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.
