Abstract: This study aims to implement the Integrated Green Garage Empowerment Model, transforming local workshops into green technology entrepreneurs through Hydrocarbon Crack System (HCS) fabrication training and digital marketing on the Shopee marketplace. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method was employed, involving eight local workshops in the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate as case studies and co-researchers. The results showed a significant increase in technical competency, with an average score of 85.1 (in the very competent category), covering the ability to fabricate, install, and test HCS systems on motorcycles. Meanwhile, digital marketing training yielded an average score of 74.0 (competent category), with the potential to increase market reach by up to 500% and achieve revenue growth of 35-45% per year. This transformation creates a local economic potential worth IDR 67.5 billion per year and creates 240 direct green jobs. These findings confirm that integrating energy-efficient technology and digitalizing business operations can strengthen the independence of local workshops and accelerate the transition to a green economy based on innovation and community.
