Cut Your Investment Costs by 50% with Funds from Japan

The JCM Indonesia Consultant Program covers half the cost of your company’s energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Actia is the only consultant that has built this system from the ground up over the past 11 years.

You Know It Needs to Be Green, But the Investment Cost Is Huge?

The investment cost is too high.

Rooftop solar, waste heat recovery, and machinery efficiency projects require billions of rupiah. It is difficult to obtain approval from the board of directors.

Don't know how to get the subsidy

There is funding available from Japan, but the process is complex. It requires connections to Japanese counterparts, an MRV methodology, and complex technical documentation.

Carbon regulations are becoming increasingly strict.

The ETS is being expanded, the EU CBAM takes effect in 2026, and the OJK is mandating climate reporting. Unprepared companies will face fines and lose export markets.

JCM Program: Japan Pays 50%, You Gain 100%

The Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) is an official partnership between Indonesia and Japan. The Japanese government covers half of the capital costs for your energy efficiency or renewable energy project; this is not a loan, but a direct grant or subsidy.

Subsidy of up to 50% of the total initial investment

Immediately cut the capital costs you are incurring today.
The payback period decreased from 6 years to 1–3 years.

With the initial capital reduced by 50%, the return on investment is achieved much faster.
Plus carbon credits as new income

The JCM project generates carbon credits that can be sold in domestic and international markets.
Suitable for industry, manufacturing, state-owned enterprises, and commercial property.

Solar, biomass, mini-hydro, waste heat recovery, engine efficiency, and others.

Clients Who Have Experienced the Benefits

We were initially unsure whether our company qualified for JCM. The Actia team conducted a quick assessment, and it turned out our facility was highly eligible. The process felt seamless because they have extensive, firsthand experience with the JCM system.

What sets Actia apart from other consultants is direct access to Japanese partners. Mr. Dicky personally introduced us to the Japanese technology provider best suited to our specific industry. No other consultant could do that.

With the JCM subsidy, our payback period dropped from 6.5 years to 3 years. The project now also generates carbon credits that we sell on the market. It is truly an investment with a double return.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my company eligible for the JCM subsidy?

The JCM program is open to manufacturing companies, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), and medium-to-large private enterprises looking to invest in solar, biomass, mini-hydro, waste heat recovery, machinery/boiler efficiency, or other low-carbon technology projects. We will assess your company’s specific eligibility free of charge during the initial consultation session.

How large a subsidy can I receive?

The JCM subsidy from the Japanese Ministry of the Environment covers up to 50% of the total initial investment cost. For example, for a project valued at IDR 20 billion, Japan covers up to IDR 10 billion. The exact amount depends on the project type, technology, and investment scale.

How long does the process take for the subsidy to be disbursed?

The process from the initial assessment to subsidy approval typically takes 3–6 months, depending on the project’s complexity and the selection schedule set by the Japanese side. Actia supports the entire process, making the timeline far more efficient than handling it independently.

Is this a loan or a truly free subsidy?

This is a subsidy/grant—not a loan or credit—and entails no obligation to repay funds to Japan. The only “return” is that your project generates JCM carbon credits, which are recorded in the Japanese system as a contribution toward their climate targets.

What sets Actia apart from other JCM consultants?

Mr. Dicky Edwin, the founder of Actia, is the person who built the entire JCM Indonesia system while serving as Head of the JCM Secretariat from 2014 to 2018. He designed 28 official MRV methodologies, facilitated 125 feasibility studies, and managed projects valued at USD 170 million. No other consultant in Indonesia possesses a comparable level of access and track record within the JCM system.

Is there any additional revenue once the project is underway?

Yes. JCM projects generate carbon credits that can be sold in both domestic (IDX Carbon) and international carbon markets. Actia also supports the MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) process and the ongoing monetization of carbon credits once the project is operational.

How much does Actia charge for this program?

The initial consultation to assess eligibility is 100% free. Service fees will be discussed transparently once we understand the scope of your project. Our business model includes an advisory retainer and a success fee—meaning we have a vested interest in your project successfully securing the subsidy.
