Sustainable development is not possible without the provision of sustainably produced energy. Thus the development and utilization of renewable energy is an essential part of sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Change Agreement. In this context, Indonesia has committed to expanding renewable energy and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 29% by 2030. To identify the potential of sustainable biomass production on degraded or marginal land for energy production, supporting rural livelihood and rehabilitation of degraded land, the NIFoS-CIFOR collaborative team has been ongoing work in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia since 2016. Study site is located in the middle of peatland of Pulang pisau district. This area was damaged by peat fire in 2015. Due to this, this land was abandoned by land owner. In 2-ha test land, 5 tree species such as Calophyllum inophyllum, Gliricidia sepium and Pongamia pinnata for biodiel and Calliandra calothyrsus and Reutealis trisperma for biomass, were planted in order to find out suitable species on this degraded peat land. In this presentation, the project is overviewed for further understanding the goals of collaborative research team and the first screened species for marginal peatland.
