Jakarta, September 15, 2026 — Efforts to reduce emissions require accurate data as a basis for determining decarbonization steps and strategies. Emissions measurement is a crucial step in establishing a baseline on the path to net-zero emissions (NZE). With more structured and accurate data, organizations can have a stronger basis for identifying emission sources before determining reduction measures. To address this need, University Trisakti developed Zentri, a tool designed to facilitate a more systematic emission calculation process while minimizing the potential for human error in data management. It is hoped that this tool will continue to be developed and utilized to support the decarbonization process and data-driven decision-making on the path to NZE and a low-carbon economy.

The development of Zentri is led by Prof. Juniati Gunawan, PhD., CA, CPA (Aust) together with the Trisakti Sustainability Center (TSC) Center of Excellence team as part of the Institutee for Research and Community Service (LPPM) University Trisakti , to present science-based solutions that support the Sustainable Development Goals in environmental aspects. The design of Zentri is supported by obtaining a grant from LLDIKTI REGION III through Decree No. 181/KPA/C4/KPT/2026 in April 2026 and research contract No. 0651/LL3/AL.04/2026, as well as a contract between LLPM Usakti and grant recipients No. 771/A/LPPM/USAKTI/IV/2026.

As of the end of August 2026, Zentri had been used by several companies to calculate emissions and even assist in the preparation of sustainability reports. The development of this tool is not only an innovation but also supports the decarbonization process, a crucial aspect of environmental performance as part of sustainability management. Various corporations, Instituteions, and even universities can utilize this tool to calculate emissions, whether at scope 1, 2, or 3.

Within the university environment, the development of Zentri reflects University Trisakti commitment to meeting the Higher Education Key Performance Indicators (KPI), particularly through the implementation of faculty knowledge in generating applicable solutions and strengthening collaboration in developing innovations. Zentri’s development has reached Level 5 of Technology Readiness (TKT).

This step also strengthens University Trisakti role as one of the SDGs Centers under Bappenas in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, and Goal 13: Climate Change Management, by supporting emissions measurement and environmental impact management efforts. Through Zentri, University Trisakti emphasizes the role of higher education Instituteions not only as educational and research Instituteions, but also as part of an ecosystem that provides real solutions to sustainability challenges.
