I am Dr Noraini Ruslan.

Building Bankable Energy, Agriculture & Carbon Projects Across Nature-Based and Technology Sectors

I am Dr Noraini Ruslan, a Carbon Developer, Renewable Energy, Biomass & Sustainable Agriculture Project Consultant, and MSPO High Conservation Value (HCV) External Assessor, specialising in nature-based and technology-based climate solutions. I hold a PhD in Ecology and Environment and work at the intersection of science, engineering, sustainability, food systems, and commercial project development.

My expertise lies in originating and developing land-based, agriculture-linked, and waste-to-value carbon projects, from early-stage concept design through to technical feasibility, sustainability assessment, and market readiness. This includes renewable energy and waste-to-energy systems, biochar carbon dioxide removal (CDR), biodiesel and ISCC-aligned supply chains, sludge and scum oil valorisation, biomass-to-advanced materials (including graphene), and high-value carbon project development.

In addition to the oil palm sector, my work extends across food systems and agricultural landscapes, including agro-industrial residues, food processing waste streams, regenerative agriculture opportunities, soil carbon enhancement, land rehabilitation, and integrated sustainability strategies across upstream and downstream agri-food value chains. I support organisations in transforming agricultural and industrial by-products into energy, carbon credits, and commercially viable climate solutions.

Beyond technical development, I am actively involved in project origination, structuring, and early-stage de-risking, working closely with landowners, plantation and mill operators, agri-food producers, technology providers, and strategic partners. My role focuses on identifying viable opportunities, aligning suitable technologies, and ensuring projects are technically robust, environmentally credible, and commercially coherent prior to investment, scale-up, or execution.

My work supports companies, technology providers, and investors in building investment-ready sustainability and carbon portfolios by bridging scientific integrity, regulatory alignment, and commercial opportunity. I focus on developing projects that are environmentally effective, economically strategic, and scalable particularly across agriculture, food systems, biomass, and land-based climate solutions.
