Candidate focus areas led by the Finnish↔local-collaboration lens — process-heat/EE, flexible balancing power, POME biogas, geothermal/cooling, MRV. Textiles dropped; Danfoss flagged Danish; Vaisala deck-listing unconfirmed. A draft to walk through, not final.
Candidate focus areas from the ID research run, led by the Finnish↔︎local-collaboration lens. This is a draft to walk through with Pink and take to the Indonesia team — not final. Recommended lead set: process-heat/EE + flexible balancing power + POME biogas, with geothermal/cooling + MRV as cross-cutting layers.
Corrections applied (Pink's rules): Danfoss is Danish, not Finnish — excluded from the Finnish-supplier framing wherever the draft listed it. Vaisala's deck-listing is unconfirmed (the extraction agent flagged it wasn't in the deck excerpt) — treat as to-confirm. Textiles is excluded as an Indonesia target sub-sector (it appears below only as national-roadmap context).
| Focus area | Finnish ↔︎ local fit | CN overlap | CE scope vs EU CERC | Demand signal |

EU CERC operates at global policy/awards altitude on materials/resource loops; GTP delivers in-plant, financier-ready energy-efficiency engineering. Where they touch, GTP draws on EU CERC knowledge rather than duplicating it. | Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap (2025) covering 9 subsectors; energy-efficiency gap 0.07%/yr vs IEA 4%/yr; GR 40/2025 NRE-portfolio-standard / GHG-tech obligation on non-renewable-energy industry; SEA Energy Transition Partnership flagging industrial decarbonization options as underutilized. |

Engineering/feasibility via Gaia, Sweco, Elomatic. | low | EPR-adjacent / bankable bioenergy from a named waste stream (palm-oil-mill effluent) at project level — specifically anaerobic-digestion methane capture and biomethane upgrading, NOT generic circular-economy policy. EU CERC does not do in-country POME project development. Frame as agro-industrial waste-to-energy feasibility, naming the POME stream. | >100M t/yr FFB; ~28 m3 biogas/m3 POME at 65% CH4; Pertamina-reNIKOLA partnership; reNIKOLA-Sumitomo (May 2025) biomethane for Indonesia+Malaysia into Pertagas pipeline; SNV and Wageningen techno-economic backing. |

| RDF / SRF from municipal solid waste as alternative fuel for cement kilns | BMH Technology (solid recovered fuel SRF systems, waste pre-processing — direct fit); Raumaster & Saalasti (fuel handling, drying/crushing); Woima (modular/decentralized waste-to-energy — the Finnish edge per the China filter, NOT commodity incineration); Valmet/Oilon (kiln burner & combustion integration). KPA Unicon / Pro-Group (fuel handling). | medium | EPR for a named waste stream — municipal solid waste converted to RDF/SRF for cement co-processing at project-bankability level.
