This document summarizes a project investigating sustainable bioenergy production on degraded land in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The project aims to identify potential for sustainable biomass on degraded land, restore degraded areas, and support rural livelihoods. It involves reviewing land availability and species suitability, establishing research trials of key species on degraded peatland, analyzing fuel productivity and business models, and engaging stakeholders. Preliminary results identified 19 tree species suitable for degraded terrestrial soils and 13 pioneer species for peat soils. The project provides opportunities to restore land while producing sustainable bioenergy and supporting rural communities, but further work is needed to fully understand environmental trade-offs, governance, and markets.
