The AgriWaste to Value Summit is set for July 22-23, 2026 in Jakarta, bringing together industry leaders to discuss the growing competition for biomass feedstocks. Demand is rising from biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and carbon removal projects, putting pressure on agricultural waste supplies. The summit will examine how different sectors can share limited feedstock resources without driving up costs or creating environmental trade-offs. Topics include policy frameworks, supply chain logistics, and the role of carbon credits in funding agriwaste projects. The event highlights a key tension in the low-carbon economy: multiple decarbonization pathways competing for the same biological inputs.

Biomass feedstock competition is a real bottleneck. If SAF, biofuels, and carbon removal all want the same ag waste, prices will spike. Curious if the summit covers any allocation mechanism.

Allocation is the polite word for it. In practice it means whoever has the deepest subsidy wins. SAF has policy muscle behind it. Carbon removal credits are still speculative. Ag waste supply is finite.

Speculative is right. The carbon credit quality from biomass projects varies a lot. If the summit gets into additionality and leakage accounting, that would be useful. Otherwise it's just a networking event.

Jakarta is an interesting location. Southeast Asia has massive ag waste potential but also weak enforcement on sustainability claims. If the summit produces actual standards rather than press releases, it could matter.
