About This Project
The Katingan Mentaya Project (KMP) is a tropical peatland forest protection and restoration project in Central Kalimantan Province of Indonesia, on the island of Borneo. The project is managed through a partnership between Indonesia-based PT Rimba Makmur Utama (PT RMU) and Permian Global.
 The protected forest area covers 157,875 hectares (of which the project carbon accounting area is 149,800ha), where it generates an average of 6 million verified carbon units (VCUs) or carbon credits per year. The project delivers community development programmes throughout this area, which are designed through close collaboration with the communities and have been improving the lives, livelihoods and wellbeing of local people for more than 15 years.
 The project is a triple gold rated forest carbon project, which means it has been third-party verified against the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Standard.
Executive Summary
Carbon Impact
82/100Protects 149,800 hectares of high-carbon peat swamp forest with conservative baseline modelling, though peat emission factors carry inherent uncertainty.
Permanence
78/10060-year crediting period with 10% buffer pool and low non-permanence risk score (9/100), though Indonesian peat fire risk poses moderate concern.
Social & Environmental
90/100Supports 43,000 people across 34 villages and protects critically endangered orangutans, earning CCB Triple Gold for exceptional community and biodiversity outcomes.
Additionality
80/100Carbon finance is the sole revenue source for the ecosystem restoration concession, though the assumed full-conversion baseline has attracted external scrutiny.
Reporting & Compliance
88/100Dual VCS and CCB Triple Gold certified under VM0007 with 5-yearly verification, supported by comprehensive climate, community, and biodiversity monitoring.
